Job description

About The Role

Ketryx is entering its next phase of growth — moving from startup speed to scale-up rigor — and we’re looking for a Fractional Head of People to help build the systems and scaffolding to support that journey.

This role is focused on performance, development, structure, and scale . You’ll work closely with the CEO to build a high-integrity People infrastructure that empowers our existing team, enables future growth, and aligns with our values.

This includes partnering on :

  • Performance management systems and behaviors that actually drive growth
  • Clear leveling, titles, and compensation structures that balance equity and scale
  • The launch of “Ketryx University” in partnership with our L&D lead
  • Cross-functional alignment with the business and exec team
  • The right long-term People resourcing model — including our future team structure

We’re looking for a hands-on builder who’s excited to move fast, roll up their sleeves, and lay the tracks while the train is moving.

What You’ll Do

  • Design and implement performance systems that translate Ketryx’s values into actionable behaviors and measurable outcomes
  • Define levels, compensation bands, and growth pathways across functions and geographies
  • Partner with the CEO and board on executive coaching, comp and benefits strategy, and org design
  • Build and operationalize the foundation for Ketryx University — our internal learning platform
  • Align closely with the Head of TA, while independently assessing broader People resourcing needs
  • Guide the evolution of our People team — including succession planning for this role
  • Build systems and policies that scale across offices (Boston, Vienna) and ensure HR compliance in a regulated, global context
  • Use data and clear metrics to measure impact and inform decisions — linking people programs to business outcomes
  • Bring a high-velocity, startup-savvy execution mindset to everything you do
  • About You

    You’re not just strategic — you get things done. You’ve built systems in fast-moving environments and know what great looks like at this stage. You’re ready to help a company mature without slowing it down.

    You likely have :

  • Prior experience leading People / HR functions at high-growth startups , ideally in B2B or enterprise software
  • Proven ability to build performance, leveling, comp, and development frameworks from the ground up
  • Experience partnering with founders and exec teams at the inflection point from ~80 to 200+ employees
  • Comfort navigating cross-border complexity and regulatory differences (e.g. U.S. and EU HR landscapes)
  • A coaching mindset and track record of influencing without drama — especially in founder-driven orgs
  • Strong business fluency — you can connect people systems to company strategy and outcomes
  • A bias for action, pragmatism, and iteration over perfection
  • Comfort working in person in Boston, 1–2 days / week, with the possibility of transitioning to full-time
  • Bonus : Experience in enterprise software, life sciences, or regulated industries
  • What We Offer

  • Competitive compensation
  • Generous stock options possible
  • Work in an exciting field with a positive impact on the world
  • Opportunity to learn and grow as part of a global team
  • Hybrid work model (mix of work from home and office is possible)
  • Generous PTO for full-time
