We're vendor-cleared at top-tier pharma sponsors and CROs, our hospital footprint is expanding through EU interoperability initiatives, and we're building out our commercial organisation right now - multiple senior and country-level roles open at once, across several countries, with a strict A-player bar. That build doesn't happen without someone who owns it.\nAs Head of People & Culture, you'll own everything about how Curewiki hires, develops, rewards, and retains its people across a remote, multi-country European team. This is a player-coach role by design: you'll personally run the searches that matter most, while building the people infrastructure a scaling company needs - from multi-country employment setups to a compensation and equity framework to a performance rhythm that keeps the A-bar real after the offer is signed.\nYour responsibilities:\nTalent acquisition\nOwn the hiring engine end to end: open-role portfolio, search strategy per role, and pipeline health, personally driving the most senior and hardest searches\nRun the hiring process as promised in every posting: fast, transparent, evidence-based, with feedback at every step, completed in weeks rather than months\nHold the A-player bar in every process - evidence over titles and degrees, and the courage to keep a seat empty rather than fill it with a B\nBuild the employer brand that makes A-players come to us\nPeople operations & employment infrastructure\nOwn employment setup across our European footprint: contracts, EOR/entity decisions per country, and compliant onboarding wherever the right person lives\nRun core people operations with our part-time HR support and external providers: payroll coordination, social security administration, absence, and policies\nMake onboarding a weapon: new hires productive in days, with clear 90-day expectations from day one\nCompensation & equity architecture\nBuild Curewiki's compensation framework: bands per role and level, benchmarked for the European markets we hire in, with a clear transparency philosophy\nPerformance, development & culture\nInstall a lightweight performance rhythm: clear goals, honest feedback, development conversations that actually happen\nBuild development around strengths, with stretch assignments and promotion paths earned by outcomes\nOwn culture deliberately in a remote, multi-country company\nAct as coach and confidential sounding board for leadership on team design and organisational decisions\nAI-first people function\nRun the people function AI-first: sourcing, screening support, documentation, and analytics leveraged with modern tooling, with human judgment where it counts most\nRequirements\nYou've owned the people function through this exact stage before: scaling from a small core team to a multi-country organisation - and can show what you built and what broke without you\nYou've personally closed senior hires (not just coordinated them), and can walk us through the last two: how you found them, what nearly lost them, how you won\nYou know European employment across borders: you've set up or run employment in multiple EU countries, and know when to use an EOR vs. open an entity, and what each costs\nYou've built a compensation and equity framework from scratch (or rebuilt a broken one) and can defend the design choices\nYou're a genuine player-coach: happiest owning the work directly, building systems as you go, hiring your own team only when volume truly demands it\nYou run AI-first and can show how it's changed the way you work\nFluent professional English\nNice to have\nExperience in healthtech, life sciences, or another regulated industry\nExperience supporting a company through a financing round and the team scaling that follows\nFamiliarity with Belgian employment and social security specifics\nBenefits\nRemote work within the EU, with a Belgium-based preference\nA player-coach mandate: real ownership from day one, not administration of someone else's decisions\nDirect access to and partnership with the Founder & CEO and leadership team - you're treated as co-architect of the organisation\nA fast, transparent hiring process (and yes, the same process you'll run for others is run on you): intro call, founder deep-dive, practical working session, COO conversation, references - feedback at every step, completed in weeks not months\nA high-velocity, mission-driven team that writes things down, moves fast, and takes AI leverage as a baseline in every role\nThe chance to build the people function of a healthtech scale-up from the ground up, across multiple countries","description_format":"text","description_chars":4648,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"All levels","optional":false}]},"benefits":["Equity"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Belgium","iso":"BE","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Health Care","Clinical Research","Regenerative Medicine"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-10T19:44:04Z"}],"liveness":{"score":21,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.602,"p_room":0.35,"age_days":26,"expected_fill_days":7,"reasons":["conf:9","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-09-23T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/curewiki-head-of-people-culture","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/curewiki-head-of-people-culture.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-09-24T01:27:20Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers"}}
