The Team You'll Work With

Carta is reimagining what a next-generation People function can be. As the VP of Human Resources, you’ll lead our HRBPs and Employee Relations team while piloting new ways of working that are experience led and ‘product’ driven. This is a unique opportunity to be a builder—helping shape the foundation for a transformative People strategy at scale.

Reporting directly to the Chief People Officer, you’ll lead Carta’s ~15-person HR organization and partner closely with the VP of Talent and VP of Total Rewards to shape our People strategy end to end.

The People Team exists to drive people performance. We are guided by three priorities:

  • Deliver a 10X People Experience – create intuitive, empowering touchpoints that make every stage of the employee journey exceptional.
  • Activate & Evolve Our Culture – embed our values  into daily decisions and behaviors as Carta grows and enters new markets.
  • Remove Friction to Enable Performance – design roles, teams, and systems that reduce complexity, leverage AI, and accelerate results.

Looking ahead, we’re evolving the People Team to embrace a  product-centered approach in everything we do—treating programs like Onboarding, Careers & Mobility, Performance, Rewards, and Workforce Experience as “people products” with clear purpose, defined users, clear ownership and measurable outcomes. As VP of HR, you will be central to influencing this model. 

The Problems You'll Solve

As the VP of Human Resources, you’ll lead Carta’s HRBPs and Employee Relations team through this transformation—balancing operational excellence with innovation. Specifically, you will:

  • Build and lead the HR/ER team – empower a high-performing team of ~15 professionals who are trusted advisors and cultural stewards.
  • Be a strategic partner – collaborate with Carta’s Executive Team, business leaders, and People peers to deliver scalable, global solutions.
  • Lead cultural and people integration for M&A – drive alignment of people, processes, and values during acquisitions to ensure seamless integration and minimize disruption.
  • Drive performance processes – lead critical programs such as performance management and promotions, ensuring they drive accountability, reward impact, and enable Carta to scale with speed, consistency, and fairness.
  • Elevate the employee journey – redesign lifecycle touchpoints to create a seamless and empowering employee experience.
  • Guide HR & ER products – take ownership of HRBP and Employee Relations–related “people products,” introducing product-inspired practices (journey mapping, clear ownership, measurable outcomes) to improve design and delivery.
  • Drive compliance and risk management – oversee Employee Relations, reduce legal risks, and ensure global compliance.
  • Enable organizational design & planning – provide input on workforce planning, succession, leveling, and mobility.
  • Champion change & adaptability – coach leaders and teams through transformation, embrace new technology and AI to enable smarter ways of working, and embed Carta’s values into everyday decisions and behaviors.
  • Roll up your sleeves – balance strategic work with hands-on execution, streamlining daily HR operations while driving continuous improvement.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
