Paris, Île-de-France Qevlar AI Temps plein


Qevlar is a B2B SaaS startup on a mission to radically boost the productivity of cybersecurity teams. We build AI Cybersecurity Analysts that augment Security Operations Centers. In just two years, we have:

  • Raised $14 million from EQT Ventures and Forgepoint Capital
  • Joined Microsoft's genAI studio and Meta's AI program
  • Deployed our solution with major Enterprises such as Sodexo and GlobalConnect, and leading MSSPs by the likes of Orange Cyberdefense

As Head of People, you'll build a scalable, data-driven People engine that supports hypergrowth while strengthening culture, alignment, and leadership maturity. You'll operate with full ownership across People Ops, Talent, and Culture, while partnering directly with the founders and team leads.

You will
  • Build and scale People Ops foundations: HRIS, policies, compliance, contracts, and documentation
  • Oversee hiring excellence, partnering with managers to ensure a predictable, high-quality recruitment process
  • Redesign onboarding into a structured, automated, culture-first experience
  • Implement performance, growth, and feedback systems including 360 reviews and manager enablement
  • Lead engagement rituals, communication cadences, and company offsites
  • Ensure compliance across France and key international jurisdictions (DE, UK, US)
  • Provide data and insights to leadership for org design, capacity planning, and retention
  • Coach managers and leadership to develop autonomy and alignment across teams
  • Protect and elevate Qevlar's culture as we scale
Who you are

You thrive in fast-moving environments, bring clarity where there is ambiguity, and are energized by building from scratch. You care about people but operate with a systems mindset.

You have:

  • 5–8 years of experience in People Ops or HR, including ownership over hiring, onboarding, performance, and compliance
  • A track record building or scaling People functions in startups or scale-ups
  • Strong understanding of French employment law
  • Hands-on mastery of HR tools (HRIS, ATS, payroll, EOR)
  • Experience hiring for technical and engineering teams
  • Data fluency: you rely on metrics to improve people processes and influence decisions
  • Excellent communication skills in English

Bonus points for:

  • Experience supporting multi-country teams
  • Exposure to AI tools in People or Talent workflows
  • Previous experience in B2B SaaS scaleups

You'll thrive here if you:

  • Operate with extreme ownership
  • Stay humble, collaborative, and direct
  • Love building systems that scale
  • Navigate complexity with a calm, structured approach
  • Take initiative and communicate with clarity
Why join us
  • Help shape a fast-growing startup at a pivotal moment
  • Work directly with founders on a high-impact cross-company role
  • Build the entire People function from the ground up
  • Join a team pushing the boundaries of AI for cybersecurity
  • Equity package and early ownership
  • Flexible location policy with a vibrant office in Paris' 9th arrondissement
