About Zeffy

🚀 With 50,000+ nonprofits using Zeffy, we are at an exciting stage of our journey. We have helped nonprofits raise $1 billion, and with 200% year-over-year growth, we aim to support more than 300,000 nonprofits by the end of 2026.

Head of people, guardian of the culture

Our mission is ambitious, and we know we won’t achieve it without an exceptional team.

How did we create this exceptional team:

• We have an extremely selective hiring process, to assess both hard skills and a clear alignment with our values

• We empower talent: we pay above the market, and care deeply about our team evolution.

• Team efficiency: we make sure we recruit only when we have a clear need. We are only 40 where at our revenue stage most companies are 100 or more.

As we scale, we’re hiring a Head of People to help us maintain exceptional talent density and scale our values and culture alongside the team.

About the role:

As our first People leader, you are accountable for acquisition, development and retention of exceptional talent.

More precisely, you will:

• Manage our Operation Manager (in charge of payroll / insurance / events etc…) and be the person accountable of more complex admin matters.

• Manage the talent team (two recruiters) and empower them, stepping in when needed to help optimize and improve processes.

• Lead our evaluation and HR processes, from annual reviews to monthly 1-1.

• Train managers and support them in their challenges.

What you won’t be doing:

• Replacing Managers HR responsibilities. We believe that most topics should be discussed directly between managers and managees, but we count on you to coach Managers.

We are looking for someone with 8+ years of experience building People’s operations, with experience in a fast-growing startups. More specifically:

• You’ve managed a team before and know how to support and grow individuals.

• Nice to have: an experience with French employment law or complex HR admin topics would be especially helpful since our team is split between Paris (15+ employees) and Montreal (20+ employees).
