About Qevlar AI

Qevlar is a B2B SaaS scale-up on a mission to boost the productivity of cybersecurity teams with Artificial Intelligence. We build an AI platform that transitions Security Operations Centers from reactive to proactive units through autonomous security alert investigations.

In just two years, we have:

  • Raised a $14m initial round from EQT Ventures and Forgepoint Capital

  • Deployed our solution with major Enterprises such as Sodexo and GlobalConnect, and leading MSSPs like Orange Cyberdefense

  • Expanded to the US market with a growing North American presence

  • Ended 2025 with a strong multi-million dollar ARR and ambitious goals for 2026

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

  • 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
