Funded by Spectrum Equity, Accomplice and Arthur Ventures, our ambition is to grow to $100M ARR in the next few years. Headquartered in NY, we have offices in London and Leuven with about 200 colleagues working together out of our major hubs or remotely.

DataCamp, a global leader in data science and AI education, is seeking a strategic and operationally-oriented Vice President of People to lead and transform our HR initiatives.

• Collaborate closely with executive leadership, providing invaluable guidance and expertise on people-related matters, including organizational design, succession planning, and change management initiatives that propel our business forward.
• Establish a data-driven culture by developing and implementing robust metrics and analytics that measure the effectiveness and impact of our HR initiatives, empowering informed decision-making and aligning our efforts with overarching business objectives.
• Lead the charge in revolutionizing HR processes and practices by leveraging cutting-edge data and insights to streamline operations, optimize efficiency, and create an exceptional employee experience that surpasses expectations.
• Inspire and guide a dynamic global talent acquisition team to attract, select, and onboard top-tier talent, continuously refining recruitment strategies and processes to ensure we bring in the very best.

Qualifications:

• Exceptional strategic thinking and business acumen, with the ability to align HR initiatives with overall organizational goals and objectives.
• Strong understanding of global employment laws and regulations, with experience operating in both US and European markets.
• 15+ years of progressive People/HR experience including 5+ years in department leadership roles.
• Proven experience overseeing global headcount in excess of 200 employees and contractors.
• Strong analytical skills, with the ability to leverage data and metrics to drive insights and influence decision-making.
• Demonstrated ability to build and develop high-performing teams, fostering a culture of collaboration, accountability, and continuous improvement.
