About the role

Here at Copia, we've established the initial foundations of a people team.
Retention is high, offer acceptance is high, and we've been people focused since day one.
However, as we look to grow (think 30-40+ HC a year), we need someone who can take us to the next level in order to properly scale.

For Copia, that means supporting two critical business outcomes. First, building and enabling a go-to-market talent engine that helps us create repeatable pipeline through better hiring, onboarding, ramp, and talent management.
Second, unlocking scale for our product and engineering teams by building the people infrastructure that helps technical teams stay aligned to business outcomes, retain deep expertise, and continue strengthening the platform for enterprise-grade adoption and next-generation product development.
You'll bring next-level hiring practices to the org, with a particular focus on building the GTM and technical hiring engines that Copia needs to scale.
You'll manage external recruiters, mature our process, and set the right outcomes.
You'll design the people development systems, feedback loops, compensation and culture touchpoints that make Copia a place people want to build their careers.
First, building and enabling a go-to-market talent engine that helps us create repeatable pipeline through better hiring, onboarding, ramp, and talent management.

Copia is the world's leading provider of operational technology (OT) backup & industrial code management software.
Copia exists because this industrial code is simultaneously the most critical and least protected asset in industrial environments globally.
There is no backup, no version history, and little recovery infrastructure.
These are not small pilots.

You'll design the people development systems, feedback loops, compensation and culture touchpoints that make Copia a place people want to build their careers.

Drive operational excellence and efficiency across payroll, benefits, and HR systems.

This role is for someone who is guided by first principles, builds dynamic systems around people, and genuinely cares about growing a company without losing what makes it great.
