Job description

We’re at a pivotal growth stage, scaling from ~20 to 50+ employees across Israel and the US, hiring across R&D, Sales, and Marketing, and building the organizational foundations to support our next chapter. We’re looking for a Director of People to be our first dedicated HR hire, reporting directly to the CEO. You’ll own the full people function: shaping company culture, coaching first-time managers, driving recruitment, and building the processes that help a fast-moving startup operate like a well-run company.

Responsibilities

• Build and nurture Reclaim’s organizational culture as the company scales — define values, rituals, and practices that keep the team connected and aligned across geographies.
• Serve as a trusted advisor and coach to managers, many of whom are stepping into leadership roles for the first time, helping them develop their management skills and team effectiveness.
• Own end-to-end recruitment: sourcing, screening, interviewing, and closing candidates across R&D, Sales, Marketing, and operational roles in Israel and the US.
• Design and implement performance management frameworks including goal-setting, feedback cycles, performance reviews, and personal development plans.
• Develop and execute onboarding programs that accelerate new hire integration and set employees up for success from day one.
• Build core HR processes and policies, compensation benchmarking, employee engagement, retention strategies, and compliance with Israeli and US labor requirements.
• Partner with the CEO and leadership team on organizational planning, headcount strategy, and team structure as the company prepares for Series A growth.
• Champion employee wellbeing, inclusion, and a work environment where people do the best work of their careers.

Requirements

• 5–8 years of HR/People experience, with at least 2–3 years in a generalist or HR leadership role at a technology startup (Seed–Series B strongly preferred).
• Hands-on experience building HR functions from scratch or near-scratch — you’ve been the one writing the first policies, running the first performance cycles, and setting up recruiting pipelines.
• Proven ability to coach and develop managers, particularly first-time leaders navigating the transition from individual contributor to people manager.
• Strong recruitment skills with experience hiring across technical (R&D) and go-to-market (Sales, Marketing) functions.
• Experience designing and implementing performance management processes, goal frameworks (OKRs or equivalent), and feedback cultures.
• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills in both Hebrew and English — comfortable operating across Israeli and US teams.
• Deep understanding of Israeli labor law and employment practices; familiarity with US employment basics is an advantage.
• Startup mindset — comfortable with ambiguity, resourceful, hands-on, and energized by building rather than maintaining.
• Domain experience in cybersecurity or enterprise SaaS is a plus but not required.
