### About ARIVE and the Role

ARIVE is a privately held, founder-led fintech transforming digital mortgage originations with the industry's first Wholesale Originations Marketplace. We empower local loan originators to deliver best-fit, personalized mortgages from a vast network of lenders. Our feature-rich loan origination platform is mission-critical for the tens of thousands of originators who rely on it every day.

We are profitable and growing rapidly - currently ~45 employees in the US and 130+ engineers at our India subsidiary - and building the leadership team and organizational design that will carry ARIVE through its next phase of growth and scale.

We are looking for a Global Head of People and Talent - a strategic, hands-on leader and trusted advisor to the CEO who will own ARIVE's people function end-to-end, including organizational design, talent acquisition, employee development, performance, and culture. You will partner closely with functional heads to build a high-performance organization, collaborate openly with employees across every level and geography, and embody the ARIVE core values and culture in everything you do - leading the people function to ensure ARIVE remains agile and nimble, aligns employee expectations, and strengthens engagement through rapid growth.

### Core Responsibilities

- Serve as a trusted advisor to the CEO on organizational design, key hiring decisions, talent management and people-related matters that shape the company; bring market intelligence, peer benchmarks, and best-practice recommendations that inform decisions and translate strategy into a multi-year workforce plan across the US and India.
- Implement organizational design across functions in close partnership with each functional leader - team structures, leveling, people development, and succession planning - and own the operating rhythm for planning, performance, and talent review cycles.
- Design and run performance management, calibration, and feedback cycles that raise the bar and help every employee do their best work.
Operationalize ARIVE's compensation framework - base, bonus, and benefits - tied directly to performance reviews and measurable business and individual outcomes, with regular market research and benchmarking against SaaS peers and comparable companies to inform leadership decisions.

- Manage health, retirement, PTO, and employee wellness programs with the same rigor applied to every other investment.
- Build and maintain HR policies, employee handbooks, job titles and descriptions, mandatory state trainings (anti-harassment, workplace safety, and other state-required programs), and compliance controls across multi-state US operations and intercompany coordination with our India subsidiary.
- Oversee employee records, contracts, and the full employee lifecycle with discretion and sound judgment on sensitive matters - investigations, performance exits, and leadership changes.
- Elevate ARIVE's employer brand across the tech ecosystem and our key talent markets; lead the US recruiting team on new hires and provide oversight and alignment for India hiring with India HR leadership.
- Design new-hire onboarding and employee development programs that accelerate time-to-impact and growth, and anchor every joiner in ARIVE's mission, values, and ways of working; create career pathing, internal mobility, and development frameworks - including manager and leadership capability building - that help employees grow with the company.
- Champion recognition, celebration, and internal communication programs that reinforce ARIVE's values through direct engagement with employees at every level and geography; own engagement measurement and listening programs (pulse, engagement, exit) and the response programs that follow.
- Partner with the CEO and functional leaders to bring AI-forward thinking to workforce strategy - assess how AI is reshaping roles, identify reskilling and upskilling needs, and embed AI tools and practices into how the people function itself operates (recruiting, onboarding, performance, HR ops).
