Description du poste

TechWolf is the #1 data layer powering enterprise workforce transformation. Our AI transforms raw workforce data into skills, work & market intelligence, enabling fairer, smarter talent decisions and helping shape how millions of employees thrive at work.

Our People team exists to make that true inside our own walls first. We build the frameworks, the systems and the leadership capability that let 130+ wolves across Ghent, London and New York do the best work of their careers. We aim to be a frontrunner in People practices and we hold ourselves to the same skills-based standard we help our customers build.

What you'll do:

• Partner with our US leaders. You'll advise the leaders of every team on the ground here: how their teams are structured, who's ready for more, and what needs to change before it breaks. You'll bring a point of view, challenge theirs, and land hard messages through credibility.
• Shape what comes next, then build it. We have strong foundations, and what the next stage needs is still blank, in the US especially. You'll make the case for where we invest, then design it, ship it and keep it running: our US operating model, the team here, and company-wide projects the wider People team adopts.
• Be the People team in the room. In New York you are People at TechWolf: the person a new joiner, a team lead and a VP all come to, and the one handling the employee relations cases that fit no playbook. You'll represent the US population back to Ghent.
• Run the performance engine with the team. Our review cycle, calibrations and check-ins are one company-wide process, run jointly across Ghent, London and the US. You'll own it for your population, prepare leaders to hold a real bar, and challenge a weak rating.
• Shape the culture of two offices. You'll help open San Francisco and keep building New York, with our Office Manager and with Carlotta on what each office should feel like. Our culture is our sharpest advantage and the easiest thing to lose across an ocean.
• Run the operations your population depends on. US payroll and benefits, parental leaves, contracts, exits, immigration, and multi-state compliance as we add California. You'll automate what you can with AI, and the heavier analytics stay with our team in Ghent.

Who you are:

• You have 5 to 10 years of experience as a People Partner or HRBP in a fast scaling company within tech, including supporting commercial teams.
• You know US employment law across multiple states, New York and California in particular.
• You've shaped the culture of a team, department or office you were responsible for.
• You've partnered with leaders at every level, up to VP and C-level.
• You are genuinely comfortable across both people partnering and people operations.
• You're comfortable running things independently. You know which matters you can trust your judgement on and you know which ones to escalated anyway.
• You thrive in ambiguity and in a fast changing environment. Priorities move, context is changing, and you'd rather start and correct than wait for perfect clarity.
• You work AI-first, or you're impatient to. You'll use agentic tools daily here, and we expect you to raise the bar on how a People function uses them.
• You're based in New York, and up for occasional travel to San Francisco and Ghent.
• Bonus: You've built a people function in a new country or a new office, or supported a population across multiple countries.

Future Opportunities:

This role grows with the US. As New York and San Francisco scale, so does your scope. You'll work closely with our teams in Ghent and London, with the same access to internal mobility across TechWolf that you'll be building for everyone else.

What’s in it for you?

• Fair & competitive salary of $130,000-$190,000.
• Hybrid working and flexible hours - make your work schedule work for you
• Mobility your way - choose between a company car or a mobility budget
• Health insurance & retirement savings
• Work from abroad 3 weeks each year
• Learning and development opportunities
• Walking culture - who doesn’t love brainstorming or connecting with colleagues while taking a walk around the office?
• Fun teambuildings, social & sports activities
