Vp Of Human Resources jobs in United States

We have performed extraordinarily well since inception 1.5 years ago: 9 figure AUM with 1,200%+ return vs 87.5% for BTC and Sharpe of 3.5+ vs BTC at 1.0.

We've grown to a team of ~20 across Trading & Research, Tech, and Operations. We're seeking a VP of Human Capital who:

• On a high level, is able to create our HR frameworks and strategy from scratch. You likely have 7-10 years of HR experience and are right before the VP level.

This is an opportunity to:

• Be compensated very well, including with long-term upside.
• Get in on the ground floor of a rapidly growing team and industry that will balloon in the future.
• Create our HR frameworks and strategy from scratch.

• Either based in Taiwan or be willing to travel to Taiwan frequently (e.g. 1-2 weeks per month).
• HR experience in both large, mature companies (to understand what mature HR frameworks look like) as well as small startups (to know how to operate in ambiguous environments requiring speed).
