VP People & Organisation

As our new VP People, you ll be responsible for 3 People Leaders (Talent Acquisition, People Development, People Operations) and their respective teams. Together with them, and with unshakable support from our Managing Directors, you will ensure that we re growing in the healthiest way possible. Our organization will keep growing (in a sustainable way) and we want your help to take Vimcar from good to great!

Tasks

• You develop and deliver our long-term People strategy: based on your in depth assessment of what s working and what could/should be improved, and considering Vimcar s business strategy, you create a roadmap that will set our People team up for success and help us to bring the function to the next level
• You are the main driver of implementing scalable and non-bureaucratic HR best practices: you drive the continuous professionalization of our People function while ensuring we are supporting our company growth and giving our people what they need to work at their best and bring the very best out of them
• You are a crucial member of our executive team: you understand the business, and how the People team can contribute to turning strategy into success. You know how to talk business, how to design HR projects with a return on investment mindset, and support your peers to build better teams
• You guide the cultural/mindset evolution: as we re growing and maturing as a business, you are the one to ensure that the desired behaviours and practices (such as talent density, performance-driven talent management, etc) are scaling in parallel, and the others are steadily fading away
• You tell us! We know what business outcomes we d hope for, but this role needs to be shaped by your individual way of work!

Requirements

• Been there, done that - you implemented People Development, People Operations, and Talent Acquisition frameworks from scratch and have seen your fair share of practical HR best practices in growth organizations in the startup and tech ecosystem. You have seen the stage ahead of us (200+ employees), and yet you are continuously hungry for introducing better ways of doing things and are not afraid to disrupt the status quo.
• Strong business acumen - not only you understand different moving elements of a business, but also you know how to setup the People team in a way that supports both our people and the business goals
• Leader of leaders - you know how to create a strong team feeling, you have great coaching skills and you value trust, cooperation and don t enjoy top-down decision making
• You don t keep hidden agendas - you value and promote honesty and transparency. You know how to articulate ideas and communicate straight and clear, being able to influence at all levels without imposing your opinion
• Successfully manage (competing) expectations - you do not shy away from difficult conversations, you know how to push back when needed and do it on a constructive, can-do attitude, entrepreneurial way
• Outcome-oriented - you re pragmatic and know how to balance strategic thinking with prioritization and execution, and know how to work with potential constraints and keep a positive attitude when facing them
• Diversity, Equity and Inclusion advocate - and more than that, you know how to engage stakeholders and inspire commitment to fostering a sense of belonging

Benefits

Why should you join us?

• Sustainable growth - We are already a 20m+ ARR company and keep growing! We do this in a very sustainable way and with a lot of substance: Growth and profitability are not a contradiction and we love to find the right balance, independent from external investors.
• Quality > quantity - We are driven by building great and impactful solutions to our customers (small and medium business & entrepreneurs) on the long run. In everything we do, we go for the quality approach.
• No fire-fighting - You will take over an established, smart and motivated 13 people team, who built already a solid foundation. Now it s time to build on top and bring the function to the next level!
• No top-down HR decisions - you will have the freedom to design and craft a People organization that works your way!
