People & Culture Lead

People & Culture Lead

Own the people function in a fast-growing tech company making global moves.

In a nutshell
This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who knows how critical the right people and culture are to scaling a successful business. Reporting directly to the CEO/Founder and acting as a trusted advisor to the leadership team, you will own Removify’s People & Culture function. Driving recruitment, shaping culture, enabling high performance, and embedding our values into everything we do as we grow across Australia, the US, and Europe.

We’ve partnered with a fractional HR consulting firm to handle the operational and compliance-heavy HR work. That means you get to focus on the meaningful, high-impact parts of People & Culture: hiring exceptional talent, partnering with leaders, and building an environment where our team can thrive.

If you love both People & Culture and Talent Acquisition, this role was built for you.

Why Removify?
We’re a digital reputation management company helping businesses thrive by removing damaging online content and protecting their online presence. With 35 team members and strong growth underway, we anticipate adding at least 15 new hires in the next 6-12 months.
We’re building something big and doing it with a team that thrives on collaboration, problem-solving, and delivering results. As our first dedicated People & Culture Lead, you won’t just be running processes. You’ll be shaping the team that shapes the company.

What you’ll be owning
Talent Acquisition (big part of the role)
You’ll own end-to-end hiring:
Build and execute hiring strategy
Create and nurture diverse talent pipelines
Run seamless recruitment processes
Ensure every hire aligns with our capability needs and cultural DNA
People & Culture Leadership
You’ll drive the strategic people agenda for the business, including:
Culture & Engagement: Lead values-based communication, recognition, feedback loops, and initiatives that strengthen connection and belonging across the team.
Performance & Development: Implement review cycles, capability frameworks, and development pathways that support people to perform at their best.
Global Resource Planning: Work with offshore contributors and partner with external staffing providers to ensure we’re resourced effectively across markets.
Workplace Experience: Keep our Melbourne HQ humming — from ergonomic setups to team rituals and office culture.
HR Operations & Compliance (in partnership with our fractional HR provider): You’ll oversee and manage the relationship with our external HR consultancy as they handle policies, contracts, compliance, offboarding, HR systems and documentation. You are the internal owner, they are the executors.
What we’re looking for
You’ve previously owned or led the People function in a growing company (ideally tech or digital) and still genuinely enjoy being hands-on with recruitment. You understand people strategy, but you’re equally comfortable executing. You’re energised by building scalable systems and shaping culture during high growth.

Must-haves
5+ years in People & Culture, Talent, or a similar people-focused role
Proven success recruiting across a variety of roles, including mid-senior hires
Experience implementing performance reviews, development frameworks, or similar programs
Strong capability with HRIS/ATS tools (e.g., Employment Hero, JobAdder)
Confidence navigating compliance and people policies (with execution support from our HR partner)
A sense of humour and genuine care for team wellbeing
Nice-to-haves
Experience working with distributed or global teams
Tech-savvy with tools like Monday.com, Google Workspace, Slack, and similar systems
Who this role is for
You’re highly organised, proactive, and outcome focused. People describe you as approachable, decisive, and calm under pressure, even in the fast pace of a growing tech company.
You believe culture is built through action, not slogans. You know when to get hands-on and when to zoom out. And you’re excited by the opportunity to build the People function from the ground up, with the support of external HR experts to take care of the admin.

The perks
Competitive salary
Work with a smart, driven team that’s genuinely fun to be around
Play a foundational role in a company scaling globally
Modern office in Cremorne with great amenities including parking onsite.
Flexible work arrangement (1 day WFH - 4 days in the office).
Real impact, fast-moving environment, and plenty of room to grow as we expand
Ready to lead the charge?
If you’re excited by the idea of owning a critical function in a fast-growing business and building the people engine that powers our success, we’d love to hear from you.

Let’s build the future of Removify, together.
