People Operations Lead

Role Overview

This role is designed for a People Operations Lead who will own recruiting, human resources, onboarding, company culture, and direct support to the leadership team as Askari scales.

What You Will Do

You will own the people operations function across the entire organization, from identifying and recruiting exceptional talent to developing the systems, processes, and culture that support a rapidly growing team.

Why It Might Be a Fit

We are looking for high-agency builders: individuals with exceptional attention to detail, strong interpersonal skills, sound judgment, and the ability to create effective processes where none exist.

Requirements

• 1–4 years of experience in recruiting, people operations, HR, or a combination of these functions, including experience at a startup or high-growth company.
• Demonstrated ability to build processes or systems from the ground up, rather than solely operating within established organizational structures.
• Exceptional attention to detail, strong organizational skills, and a consistent track record of following through on commitments.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to represent Askari professionally and persuasively to candidates, vendors, and external partners.
• Ability to exercise sound judgment and maintain strict confidentiality when handling sensitive information, including compensation, employee records, and personnel matters.
• Ability to operate effectively in an ambiguous, fast-paced environment, manage shifting priorities, and take ownership of responsibilities without constant direction.
