About this role

About airSlate
airSlate is a global SaaS technology company that serves tens of millions of users worldwide. Our journey began with a handful of Boston employees in 2008 and grew into a leading tech company with approximately 700 team members across six offices worldwide. Our portfolio of award-winning products, SignNow, pdfFiller, DocHub, altaFlow, Instapage, and US Legal Forms, empowers our customers to digitally transform how they run their businesses.
As we continue to scale, we are looking for a Chief People Officer who is comfortable operating in high-growth environments where priorities evolve, and systems mature over time. This is not a steady-state role. It is an engaged leadership position for someone who has supported organizations through significant changes and understands how to grow people, culture, and leadership capabilities. You will work closely with the CEO/founder and the executive team as a trusted partner, coach, and contributor to the organization's long-term development. We are looking for a leader with experience supporting organizations through milestones such as financings, M&A, and IPOs.

Key Responsibilities: Leadership, Partnership & Culture

  • Act as a trusted advisor and collaborative partner to the CEO, founders, and executive leadership team on People-related and organisational topics.
  • Work effectively within a fast-evolving scale-up environment where structures, priorities, and leadership practices continue to develop.
  • Build open, transparent relationships with senior leaders and provide ongoing coaching, mentoring, and feedback to support leadership growth.
  • Support leaders in developing within their roles, focusing on continuity and long-term capability rather than frequent organisational change.
  • Shape and evolve company culture while balancing pace, clarity of roles and responsibilities, and shared accountability during periods of growth.
  • Enable constructive dialogue, alignment, and effective approaches to addressing differences across leadership teams and the wider organisation.

    • Scaling & Transformation

  • Support the design and evolution of organisational structures, change approaches, and operating models as the company grows internationally.
  • Help the organisation navigate complex transitions such as acquisitions, integrations, restructurings, or liquidity events in a considered and structured way.
  • Develop practical frameworks and processes that enable scale while remaining proportionate and flexible.
  • Improve leadership ways of working, decision-making effectiveness, and shared accountability across the organisation.

    • Talent & Leadership Development

  • Partner with the CEO and Board on long-term executive succession planning, leadership assessment, and targeted executive hiring.
  • Design leadership development approaches that focus on meaningful behavioural change, coaching, and capability development.
  • Establish performance and feedback practices that encourage learning, shared responsibility, and consistent delivery.
  • Develop internal talent pathways and succession pipelines to support sustainable leadership growth over time.

    • Employee Experience & Engagement

  • Develop scalable employee experience practices informed by data, transparency, and continuous improvement.
  • Support engagement, alignment, and organisational stability during periods of ongoing change.
  • Balance clear performance expectations with sustainable, inclusive people practices.

    • Key Qualifications:

  • Significant experience in senior HR / People leadership roles, including experience at the Chief People Officer level or in a comparable executive position.
  • Extensive experience within global SaaS or technology organisations of 500+ employees.
  • Experience working in scale-up or transformation-focused environments.
  • Demonstrated experience partnering closely with founders, CEOs, and boards in growing organisations.
  • Experience supporting organisations through M&A, IPOs, post-merger integration, or major liquidity events.
  • Strong background in leadership coaching, executive development, and organisational capability building.
  • Experience scaling organisations across multiple regions and cultures.
  • Sound business judgement with the ability to balance pace, practicality, and long-term organisational health.
  • Experience with Eastern Europe operations is beneficial.
