HEAD OF PEOPLE AND TALENT
- Reports to - CEO, V-Spark
- Experience 10-12 years, with significant VC/PE/CVC
WHY NOW?
V-Spark is scaling from ~$3–4M to $100M+ in revenue and from ~5 to 70–80 people in a short window. At this pace, two things matter most: the culture we build and the talent we attract and retain. Both are being shaped now, and both are difficult to fix once the organization is larger.
THE MANDATE
- Build the fund culture. Define and institutionalise how V-Spark operates: flat, high-trust, judgment-led and partnership-style, deliberately distinct from BUs. Codify the values, rituals and onboarding so every joiner absorbs CVC and frontier tech culture rather than regular and mundane corporate culture, and protect it actively as the team size increases.
- Partner the business. Act as a true HRBP to the CEO and to tech, project and platform leaders: org design, team effectiveness, leadership coaching and sensitive people calls. A trusted advisor with a seat at the table, not back-office administration.
- Own compensation and LTI. Run the full reward architecture: the bonus scorecard, ESOPs and carry allocations, and make compensation a genuine competitive advantage in attracting talent. Build real skin in the game, so people operate as entrepreneurs and owners rather than as employees.
- Set governance guardrails. Own POSH and statutory compliance, plus the fiduciary conduct framework — personal trading, conflicts, outside activities, confidentiality, gifts and anti-bribery. Scale controls in step with headcount without bureaucratising a lean firm.
- Lead talent acquisition and management. Partner the scale-up across internal and external hires — panels, offers, and onboarding every hire into the culture and conduct framework from day one.
THE CANDIDATE
- 10–12 years in HR, including 4–5+ in a VC/PE fund, CVC or investment platform
- Has administered carry / LTIs / ESOP
- Hands-on operator, not a large-team HR manager
- MBA (HR) or equivalent
