HR Lead

We are looking for a strategic, hands-on HR Lead to build further and lead ORIL’s HR and Recruitment function as we scale. This is a leadership role with full ownership — from talent acquisition and team building to compensation strategy and international expansion groundwork. We see this role as one of the company’s key leadership functions. A business-oriented mindset, strong ownership, and accountability for outcomes are essential for success. If you know what good recruitment looks like in a competitive market, and want to own the function rather than just run it — let’s talk. What will you do? - Lead and develop the internal HR & Recruitment team (3–5 people): set goals, run 1:1s, track performance. - Own the full talent acquisition function: sourcing strategy, freelance recruiter & staffing agencies network, and direct hiring pipelines. - Develop employee retention & growth strategies: build early-warning systems, improve regular 1:1 best practices, and implement career growth frameworks. - Proactively monitor market trends through research to adjust HR & Recruiting approaches accordingly. - Own and develop the Culture Index methodology across the company — from hiring to team composition and communication. - Act as a key stakeholder of the EOS (Entrepreneurial Operating System) framework within the company, driving its alignment through people and cultural initiatives. - Continuously adjust the company’s compensation strategy and benefits packages benchmarked to the market. - Partner with the Finance team to implement and communicate workplace regulations, including Diya.City frameworks. - Lead the strategic groundwork for international talent acquisition by researching potential locations, working conditions, and contracting models for new offices abroad. - Process ownership. Leverage AI tools and modern HRMS platforms to automate routine tasks, improve workflows, and enhance the overall employee experience. What do we expect? Experience & Hard Skills: - IT Leadership: 4+ years of total experience in HR and/or Recruitment, with at least 2 years in a solid IT leadership or Team Lead role. - Market Expertise: Deep understanding of the Ukrainian IT market — recruitment channels, compensation benchmarks, and vendor landscapes. - Strategic HR Toolkit: Strong practical knowledge of compensation strategies, modern retention frameworks, and complete employee lifecycle management. - English: Upper-Intermediate or higher (fluent verbal and written communication with international advisors, partners, and candidates). - Data-Driven Mindset: You measure success via retention rates, time-to-hire, and team velocity, rather than subjective assumptions. Soft Skills: - Extreme Ownership: You thrive when given a goal and the autonomy to figure out how to get there. You take full accountability for outcomes. - Business-Oriented Mindset: You understand that HR metrics must align with financial and operational business goals. - High Pace & Proactivity: You move fast, embrace change easily, and don’t wait for permission to fix a broken process. - Assertive Leadership: Ability to challenge opinions constructively, guide stakeholders, and rally a team behind a vision. Will be a plus: - Hands-on experience with Culture Index or similar psychometric assessment tools. - Experience or strong familiarity with the EOS framework. - Prior involvement in scaling operations or hiring setups for new geographical locations. - Familiarity with Diya.City regulations and Ukrainian IT labor law specifics. We offer: - Ability to grow with an ambitious niche-focused company - Competitive compensation - Hybrid work model (50/50 remote/office) based in our Lviv office, ensuring regular in-person collaboration and team leadership - Comprehensive day-off policy, including public holidays and special events - Accounting Support - Education & certification budget + corporate education events and trainings - Wellness budget Application process: - CV and LinkedIn profile pre-screening - Culture Index (CI) assessment - Initial screening: call with Recruiter - Main interview with the COO & CEO Sound like a fit? Send us your CV and LinkedIn profile — we’d love to hear about a specific case where you’ve made a measurable impact on a team or hiring process. Відгукнутись на вакансію
