Head of HR
In short
We're looking for a Head of People to take full ownership of everything people-related at intent: recruitment, HR operations, team development, policies, and working directly with founders on how this company grows. This isn't a "set up the perks page and run engagement surveys" kind of role. You'll manage a team of three (two recruiters and an office manager), drive around 50 hires a year, build compensation systems, handle difficult conversations, and be the person leaders turn to when things get complicated. It's a B2B contract with a fixed monthly rate. If you like building people functions that actually work, not just look good on paper, this is for you.
Why intent?
We've been designing and co-creating connected devices since 2008. Wearables, smart audio, health-tech hardware for clients like Oura and BOSE, backed by investors like a16z and Founders Fund. We're 60+ people, fully remote, and AI-native in how we actually work, not just in how we talk about it. The company is at a stage where the people function needs someone who can own it end-to-end: from hiring plans tied to the sales pipeline, through performance frameworks, to vendor negotiations and ISO audits. It's a broad, strategic role with real decision-making power, and you'll report directly to the CEO.
What we're looking for
5+ years in a senior HR/People role, with at least 2 years managing a team
