About the job

About Salient

At Salient, we are at the forefront of revolutionizing financial operations through cutting-edge AI technology. Our mission is to automate complex workflows in loan servicing, making them simpler and more efficient.

  • Supported by industry leaders a16z and Y Combinator, we have successfully raised $65 million in Series A funding.

  • Within just two years, we've achieved an 8-figure ARR, serving over 20% of the auto lending industry while processing millions of transactions daily.

  • We have fully integrated our solutions with major financial institutions, moving beyond mere proof-of-concepts.

  • Our growth trajectory includes expansion into new financial services segments.

  • We embrace an in-person office culture at our San Francisco headquarters.

We are deeply integrated with our clients, managing the entire stack and rapidly advancing the adoption of modern AI in regulated sectors where accuracy and reliability are paramount.

Why We Are Hiring

As we aim to double our team from 50 to over 100 employees in the next year, we are seeking a dedicated Head of People to elevate our HR function. While we have foundational elements in place (like Rippling and benefits), we need a visionary leader to establish strategic HR infrastructure, cultivate our culture, and collaborate with leadership on talent decisions.

The Role

As our inaugural people leader, you will transition our HR function from foundational to strategic. You will oversee all aspects of performance management, compensation frameworks, employee relations, and cultural initiatives. Reporting directly to the CEO, you will work closely with leadership on all people-related decisions.

Your Responsibilities

  • Develop and lead our comprehensive people strategy, including performance management, compensation, employee development, and cultural enhancement.

  • Collaborate with leadership on organizational design, workforce planning, and talent acquisition strategies.

  • Enhance our HR infrastructure by refining policies, ensuring compliance, and optimizing benefits programs.

  • Create and implement performance management frameworks encompassing goal-setting, reviews, promotion cycles, and career development.

  • Lead the compensation strategy by maintaining equitable pay structures, managing equity grants, and conducting market analysis.

  • Drive engagement and cultural initiatives, including team-building events, defining company values, and implementing DEI programs.

  • Manage employee relations by coaching managers on handling difficult conversations, resolving conflicts, and addressing sensitive situations.

  • Establish manager enablement programs to foster leadership development.
