Head of People

WeBuild-AI are AI natives delivering 10x value for enterprise organisations. We combine highly skilled experts with our AI Launchpad, industry-aligned language models, and agents to transform enterprise organisations into AI-powered and data-driven businesses. We work with enterprise organisations on a global stage, reinventing how they design, build, and operate AI powered software at scale with speed.

We believe that AI's true potential is unlocked only when it's precisely aligned with business objectives and user needs. Our mission is to bridge the gap between technical possibility and business value, creating AI solutions that transform organisations at their core. We're looking for visionaries who can see beyond the technology to the human and business impact it can create.

We're looking for a Head of People who can blend strategic thinking with hands-on delivery. Someone who loves building People foundations from scratch, thrives in a fast-moving tech environment, and is excited to shape an AI-native People function that supports a company built on expertise, delivery excellence and constant learning.

You'll be the go-to partner for our leaders and team, owning everything across the People lifecycle while building scalable, tech-driven processes that make life easier for everyone.

This would suit someone who enjoys autonomy, genuinely cares about the employee experience, and wants to play a hands-on role in how the company grows.
