The Role
As VP of People, you will partner directly with the CEO and executive team to shape how Backstory is organized, how leaders operate, and how the company scales into its next phase as an AI-native business.
Backstory has built strong operational foundations. The next chapter requires deeper thinking around org design, executive team effectiveness, global scaling, total rewards, and how AI changes the way work gets done across go-to-market and technical organizations.
This role is for a People leader who thinks like a business builder. Someone who understands that organizational design is a competitive advantage, leadership teams require active shaping, and the People function should drive business outcomes alongside culture and employee experience.
