We’re now around 20 people, fully remote, and scaling rapidly. As we continue to grow, we’re hiring across engineering, product, growth, and creator partnerships. To support this, we’re looking for a brilliant People & Talent Lead to help us run hiring processes, establish people ops foundations, and scale the team by hiring best in class talent in all positions.

The Role

We’re looking for an experienced and pragmatic People & Talent Lead to join us on a part-time or contract basis.

You’ll:

• Own all active hiring processes (from JD writing through to onboarding)
• Define and implement our hiring workflows, tooling, and interview coordination
• Source and screen candidates, manage candidate comms, and ensure a world-class experience
• Work with hiring managers to plan hiring rounds and align candidate profiles
• Implement lightweight internal people ops processes (e.g. onboarding flows, offer letters, HR compliance basics)
• Begin shaping scalable HR practices for a remote, international team

What You’ll Need

• 4+ years experience in a people, talent, or HR role in a fast-paced startup
• Hands-on experience running end-to-end hiring for technical and marketing roles
• Strong organisational skills, process-minded, and confident setting up systems from scratch
• Great communication skills with a bias for action
• Comfortable working remotely and collaborating across time zones
• Ability to context-switch between recruitment, HR process building, and people support

Nice to Have

• Experience scaling teams from 10 to 50+ in a startup or high-growth environment
• Knowledge of tools like Notion, Ashby, Workable, Deel, or equivalent
• Experience working with international and remote-first teams
• Exposure to early-stage AI, Web3, or platform businesses

Why Join Oh

• High-impact role at the heart of a fast-growing AI startup
• Competitive day rate (or part-time salary equivalent)
• Flexible, remote-first culture with autonomy and responsibility
• Direct access to founders and the ability to shape the company as we scale
• Opportunity to transition into a permanent, senior role if the fit is right
