• Project Execution & Tracking: Establish a robust project management framework to track all People-related initiatives, ensuring that 95% of key projects (from automations, migrations to process audits) are delivered on time and within scope.

• Compensation & Cost Optimization: Lead the execution of compensation benchmarking and structure projects, ensuring Addi remains competitive in the fintech market while maintaining a people-cost-to-revenue ratio aligned with the annual budget.

• Data-Driven Decision Engine: Launch an Executive People Dashboard that provides real-time visibility into headcount ROI, turnover trends, and hiring velocity, turning raw data into a strategic narrative for the C-suite.

• Operational Process Excellence: Standardize the end-to-end headcount approval and requisition workflow, reducing bottlenecks and ensuring every hire is pre-validated against both budget and long-term capacity models.

What we’re looking for

• Proven expertise in Strategic Workforce & Financial Planning

• Ability to translate high-level business growth scenarios into granular headcount forecasts that align with monthly burn rate targets.

• Capacity to maintain a "rolling" workforce plan that adapts instantly to changes in the fintech regulatory or funding landscape.

• Demonstrates ability to drive Complex Project Tracking & Execution

• Experienced in using project management methodologies (e.g., Agile, Kanban, or Gantt) to ensure People initiatives move from ideation to completion without scope creep.

• Strong focus on accountability, providing regular status updates and "red-flag" alerts to stakeholders when project milestones are at risk.

• Skill in managing cross-functional dependencies, ensuring Finance, Legal, and Tech teams are synchronized during HR process rollouts.

• Possesses strong Analytical Storytelling & Executive Influence

• Expertise in transforming raw people data into compelling visual narratives that empower the C-suite to make evidence-based talent decisions.

• Ability to challenge senior leadership's hiring requests with data-backed logic, acting as a strategic consultant rather than a reactive administrator.

• Comfortable presenting complex financial-human capital correlations to diverse audiences, from HR Generalists to the CFO.

• Has solid expertise in Compensation Modeling & Reward Strategy

• Track record of designing and implementing salary scales and incentive structures that balance market competitiveness with internal equity.

• Ability to manage annual or semi-annual compensation cycles, ensuring all adjustments are data-driven and stay within the approved budget.

• Proficiency in utilizing market benchmarking tools (e.g., Radford, Mercer, or Pave) to ensure Addi remains an employer of choice in the tech sector.

• Track record of Radical Attention to Detail & Data Integrity

• A "zero-error" mindset regarding the maintenance of the organizational chart, headcount budgets, and employee master data.

• Proven ability to audit and reconcile data across multiple platforms (HRIS, ATS, and Finance models) to ensure a single, reliable source of truth.

• High level of discipline in documenting processes and change-logs, ensuring all workforce planning decisions are auditable and transparent.

• Experienced in Systems Optimization & Technical Modeling

• Advanced mastery of Excel and Google Sheets, including the ability to build automated, multi-variable models that forecast long-term people costs.

• Functional knowledge of integrating HRIS (e.g., Workday, Hibob) and ATS (Greenhouse) data into Business Intelligence tools like Looker or Tableau.

• Ability to troubleshoot and improve digital workflows, reducing manual data entry and increasing the speed of the headcount approval process.
