Los Angeles, CA, United States Planhat Full time
MissionAs Planhat scales, we need a Head of People that helps us support a high-performance culture. This role is about creating clarity, consistency, and trust across the organization - while enabling leaders to move fast and make good decisions.

The Challenge

You will be the senior owner of HR across the group. This includes employee policies, compliance, performance frameworks, and manager support across multiple entities and jurisdictions.

This is not a "policy factory" role. You'll operate close to the business - supporting our leaders, resolving issues early, and building simple, scalable practices that work in the real world.

As we grow, you'll continuously evolve how we handle performance, feedback, development, and operations - ensuring we stay compliant, consistent, and human, without slowing the company down.

Nothing is purely transactional here, you'll continuously improve and level up our business.

Key responsibilities:

  • Own People policies, frameworks, and practices across our markets
  • Act as the primary point of contact for employee relations matters, escalations, and complex people situations
  • Support managers with performance management, feedback, corrective actions, and difficult conversations
  • Ensure fair, consistent handling of promotions, performance issues, exits, and disciplinary matters
  • Maintain and evolve employee handbook(s) and internal people guidelines
Compliance & Risk Ensure compliance with local labor laws and employment regulations across all entities Partner with Legal on contracts, disputes, terminations, and risk mitigation Proactively identify people-related risks and address them before they become problems Manage external advisors (employment lawyers, HR consultants) when needed Systems & Collaboration Ensure policies and practice are reflected in systems and processes Partner with Finance on compensation structures, payroll implications, and benefits governance Collaborate with Security on access, offboarding, and sensitive cases Ensure HR data, documentation, and processes support both compliance and decision-making
Business-minded operator: You understand that this function exists to enable the business, not slow it down
