Job Description
Head Of People and Culture
Zerocircle is building materials that help the world move away from plastic without asking industries to change how they work or pay more to do the right thing. We work with natural compounds, real factories, real constraints, and a lot of ambition.
We take the work seriously. Ourselves, not always. We believe great culture is not posters on walls. It is how people feel on a random Tuesday. It is how decisions get made when things are messy. It is whether work still feels meaningful when it is hard.
We believe meaningful inclusion starts with who shapes people practices. With fifty percent women in leadership across departments, we are proud of the steps we have taken so far and conscious of the work still ahead. We want to be clear and intentional. We strongly encourage queer, non binary, and LGBTQIA+ professionals to apply for this role.
- Help us find people who care deeply, think clearly, and do not need hand holding.
- Design hiring that is thoughtful, human, and a little joyful.
- Make Zerocircle irresistible to the kind of talent we want, not everyone.
- Turn values into daily behaviour.
- Create rituals, moments, and traditions people actually look forward to.
- Keep culture intact as we grow across labs, plants, and offices.
- Call out nonsense clearly and early.
- Make sure joining Zerocircle feels great from day one.
- Handle policies, payroll, benefits, ESOPs, and compliance so smoothly that no one notices.
- Be the person people come to when things get tricky, sensitive, or emotional.
- Tell the truth, even when it is uncomfortable.
- Help leaders become better humans, not just better managers.
- Protect what makes Zerocircle special.
- You are a true people generalist who has seen enough to stay calm and with 8-10 years of experience
- You are equally comfortable recruiting, resolving conflict, or building a process from scratch.
- You operate with high empathy and high integrity and have zero tolerance for nonsense.
- You believe culture is built through small, consistent acts, not big speeches.
