OKTOBER is hiring People & Culture Lead to join us. We're one of the fastest growing Shopify Retention Agencies in the space and both clients and brands love us.
What You'll Do
What You'll Do
- Own the full hiring pipeline — reviewing applications daily, running screening calls, and keeping things moving fast
- Fill the pipeline yourself — sourcing via LinkedIn (manual and automated), outbound outreach via Lemlist, job ads, AI sourcing tools
- Handle pre-onboarding and new starter check-ins so every hire lands well from day one
- Build and run our performance review process (quarterly and annual) with leadership
- Write and own job descriptions, working closely with department heads and the team to get them right
- Shape culture and L&D — from bi-annual meetups planning and hosting to the programmes that help our team grow and stay connected
- You've run hiring and people ops in a fast-moving agency or startup before
- You move fast — candidates don't sit in your ATS for weeks
- You're tool-fluent: Ashby, Lemlist, and building outreach lists from scratch
- You take full ownership — you don't wait to be told what needs doing next
- Real autonomy to build people ops your way, not inherit someone else's
- Direct access to leadership and a genuine seat at the table
- Competitive salary and a fully remote setup
- A team that works hard, has each other's backs, and meets in person twice a year
- You've built a hiring function before, not just run one
- You love people as much as process
- You want ownership, not a job description
- Speed and quality aren't a trade-off to you — they're the same thing
- You need a slow, structured environment to do your best work
- Ambiguity and building from scratch makes you uncomfortable
- You see recruiting and people ops as two separate jobs
- You're looking for a role where someone else sets the pace
