How we work

  • Accelerate impact
  • Raise the bar
  • Make our users heroes
  • Clear is kind
  • Rapid learning machine
  • One team, one dream

About the role

We believe we win based on our People. We have a strong People Mission to “be the place where great people come to do the best work of their careers.”  We aspire to build a talent destination, where highly sought-after top talent wants to work.  We hope our talent legacy lasts far beyond Scribe, cultivating a team of future founders, leaders, and builders, one where people go on to do great things.  

Our People are our most valuable asset. We have world-class people, and we’re looking for a strategic People & Talent leader to build a world-class function. This role will own and scale all aspects of People, from talent acquisition, employee experience & retention, employee relations, performance management, development, compensation, benefits, compliance, and org design. 

Reporting to the CEO and co-founder, you’ll work closely with the leadership team to shape our people strategy, systems, and processes to support rapid growth in 2025 and beyond. You’ll ensure a seamless, high-impact experience from hiring to career development, enabling our people to excel at Scribe.

This is a high-impact role for a strategic, execution-focused problem-solver who thrives in fast-paced environments. 
If you’ve always believed there’s a better way to “do People” in a high-growth environment, and want to see your ideas turn to action, we’d love to hear from you. 

What you’ll do

  • Recruiting Strategy & Execution – Design and optimize best-in-class hiring processes, ensuring we attract and close top talent with a data-driven approach. Own recruiting for select high-priority roles yourself.
  • HR Strategy – Drive the development and implementation of HR strategies, policies, and programs that support the organization's goals, foster a positive and inclusive work environment, and ensure a conducive work environment for peak performance and productivity.
  • Compensation & Org Design – Develop competitive compensation structures and scalable org design strategies to support rapid growth.
  • Employee Experience & Development – Own the full employee lifecycle, from onboarding to career growth, ensuring a culture of engagement, high performance, and retention.
  • Performance & Culture – Implement high-impact feedback and performance management systems, holding a high bar for talent while fostering a values-driven, high-energy workplace.
  • People Operations & Compliance – Oversee payroll, benefits, compliance, and HR systems, ensuring smooth operations and alignment with regulatory standards and laws.
  • HR Business Partner – Act as a key advisor to the leadership team, driving People strategy that supports business goals and long-term growth. 
  • Scale the People and Talent Functions – Lead and grow the People and Talent teams (currently 5 people and growing), ensuring they evolve to meet business needs.
  • Live our Values – be a culture-carrier and beacon of Values in everything we do

You could be a great fit if

You're not just a People leader—you’re a builder and a strategist who thrives in high-growth, fast-moving environments. You understand that People strategy is business strategy, and see People & Talent as the engine that powers a company’s success. You move seamlessly between big-picture strategy and tactical execution, balancing long-term people initiatives with immediate business needs. At your core, you are an operator, excelling at process-building, execution, and data-driven decision-making to scale a high-performing team.

You are a talent magnet, exceptional at attracting, assessing, and onboarding top-tier talent. You are adaptable and proactive, navigating ambiguity with ease and acting as both a player and a coach—rolling up your sleeves when needed while developing a top-tier People team.

Most importantly, you build cultures where people do the best work of their careers, fostering growth and setting a high bar for performance.

What We Do

Scribe is an AI-led productivity platform that helps you automatically capture and share the best ways of working, in as little time as it takes to do the original process itself.

Here at Scribe we believe there’s an expert in everyone. On every team, there are go-to people who have figured out the best way to do every process.

This knowledge powers every company, but it rarely gets shared because doing so is painfully manual and time-consuming.

Keeping processes in our heads is one of the biggest problems facing teams today, but we’ve all just accepted it because we’ve never had any other choice.

We built Scribe to change that. We’re on a mission to unleash and uplevel the world’s know-how.

Scribe is loved by 4 million end users and counting, at over 90% of the Fortune 500.
