Head of People

Pylon

San Francisco, CA · Senior

Listed on Pylon’s own careers site. You apply with them directly — we never stand between you and the employer.

What this role is

Pylon is hiring its first dedicated people leader to build HR, recruiting, and people operations functions from scratch as the company scales from roughly 100 to 500+ employees. This role suits someone comfortable doing hands-on work—from payroll and offers to performance management and culture—alongside strategic people decisions, and who thrives in a fast-growing, in-person SF environment.

Our summary, not Pylon’s wording. The full posting is on their site.

Required

  • Scaled a people function from ~50 to 500 employees
  • Hands-on execution on recruiting, people ops, performance management, and compensation

  • Willingness to do operational grunt work including payroll and offer closing for 12+ months
  • Ability to work in-person in San Francisco

Nice to have

  • Non-traditional background outside HR
  • Understanding of how to drive company strategy beyond people function
