ℹ️ This is not a job posting for one specific company. XAnge is a VC firm: we keep a curated pool of senior profiles and introduce them to our portfolio startups when the right role opens up. This page describes what a Head of People / CHRO role typically looks like across our portfolio.
Work at an XAnge portfolio startup
You would join one of XAnge’s 80+ portfolio companies: fast-growing European tech startups building meaningful products across B2B SaaS, Healthtech, Fintech, Climatetech and beyond. These are scale-ups where people are the most important asset and the fastest-growing one, with small, ambitious teams where ownership is real, decisions are fast, and your impact is visible from day one. Every company in the pool is backed by XAnge (Siparex Group) and surrounded by a community of 80+ founders and operators to lean on.
The team and why we need you
As Head of People / CHRO, you typically join a company that is scaling its headcount fast and needs to build the People function that keeps culture and talent strong through that growth. You might build the function from scratch or scale an existing team. You own people and culture, report directly to the CEO/founders, and partner with every team leader.
Why we need you: hiring fast while protecting culture and keeping people engaged is the challenge.
Your goals as Head of People / CHRO
Your mission is to attract, grow and keep the talent that powers the company. Typically, you will:
Build and own talent acquisition, employer branding and recruitment processes to support rapid growth.
Design compensation and career frameworks that scale.
Nurture culture, engagement and performance across the company.
Build the People team and HR operations from the ground up.
