Ketryx
About The Role
Ketryx is entering its next phase of growth — moving from startup speed to scale-up rigor — and we’re looking for a
Fractional Head of People
to help build the systems and scaffolding to support that journey.
This role is focused on
performance, development, structure, and scale . You’ll work closely with the CEO to build a high-integrity People infrastructure that empowers our existing team, enables future growth, and aligns with our values.
This includes partnering on:
Performance management systems and behaviors that actually drive growth
Clear leveling, titles, and compensation structures that balance equity and scale
The launch of “Ketryx University” in partnership with our L&D lead
Cross-functional alignment with the business and exec team
The right long-term People resourcing model — including our future team structure
We’re looking for a
hands-on builder
who’s excited to move fast, roll up their sleeves, and lay the tracks while the train is moving.
What You’ll Do
Design and implement performance systems that translate Ketryx’s values into actionable behaviors and measurable outcomes
Define levels, compensation bands, and growth pathways across functions and geographies
Partner with the CEO and board on executive coaching, comp and benefits strategy, and org design
Build and operationalize the foundation for Ketryx University — our internal learning platform
Align closely with the Head of TA, while independently assessing broader People resourcing needs
Guide the evolution of our People team — including succession planning for this role
Build systems and policies that scale across offices (Boston, Vienna) and ensure HR compliance in a regulated, global context
Use data and clear metrics to measure impact and inform decisions — linking people programs to business outcomes
Bring a high-velocity, startup-savvy execution mindset to everything you do
About You You’re not just strategic — you get things done. You’ve built systems in fast-moving environments and know what great looks like at this stage. You’re ready to help a company mature without slowing it down.
You likely have:
Prior experience leading People/HR functions at high-growth startups , ideally in B2B or enterprise software
Proven ability to build performance, leveling, comp, and development frameworks from the ground up
Experience partnering with founders and exec teams at the inflection point from ~80 to 200+ employees
Comfort navigating cross-border complexity and regulatory differences (e.g. U.S. and EU HR landscapes)
A coaching mindset and track record of influencing without drama — especially in founder-driven orgs
Strong business fluency — you can connect people systems to company strategy and outcomes
A bias for action, pragmatism, and iteration over perfection
Comfort working in person in Boston, 1–2 days/week, with the possibility of transitioning to full-time
Bonus: Experience in enterprise software, life sciences, or regulated industries
What We Offer
Competitive compensation
Generous stock options possible
Work in an exciting field with a positive impact on the world
Opportunity to learn and grow as part of a global team
Hybrid work model (mix of work from home and office is possible)
Generous PTO for full-time
