Head of People

The Role

At our size, informal channels for managing the team are starting to break down. This role builds what replaces them: the structure, compliance foundation, and people infrastructure that keeps Mintlify a great place to work as we grow.

You'll lead the People function, keep us compliant in every jurisdiction we operate in, own compensation philosophy and performance strategy, and give leadership an honest, continuous read on people health. Retention and employee engagement are your primary outcomes.

Day-to-day execution (onboarding logistics, HR admin, payroll processing) sits with People Ops; you own the strategy layer and lead the team that runs it.

What We're Looking For

• 8–10+ years of progressive People/HR experience, with 3+ years in a leadership role
• A track record of interventions that surfaced people risk early and measurably reduced attrition
• Experience running structured listening programs and making the signal actionable for leadership
• You've lived the 50→150+ scaling transition and know what breaks at each inflection point
• You've run a full performance cycle end-to-end, including design, calibration, manager coaching, comp changes
• Deep compensation fluency: benchmarking, bands, and equity refresh strategy
• Multi-state and international employment fluency
• Executive-level candor: comfortable delivering hard feedback to founders without being asked
• Exceptional discretion and judgment in sensitive situations
• Experience supporting a fast-growing
• You've coached first-time and mid-level managers with measurable improvement

Nice to Have

• Familiarity with our stack: Rippling, Ashby, Deel
• You've built or led a People team → we want a builder in this seat

Working at Mintlify

We're an in-person team. We believe the best companies get built together in the office, and this role is at the center of both. You'll be based at our San Francisco HQ.
