Role
Who you are
- 5-10+ years of experience in operations teams, ideally with a background or experience in building recruiting functions at early stage tech companies
- Demonstrated prior experience building people functions from scratch in high-growth startups, especially building and developing recruiting functions
- Experience managing teams, preferably in a people operations capacity
- Ability to work closely with executives and department leads across operations, marketing, GTM and product / engineering, to help them build and grow their teams and their individual direct reports
- Experience with creating growth and levelling frameworks
- You are comfortable being both a builder and an operator - you want to help build teams to scale, but you’re also ready to do the work and support other leaders yourself
- Pragmatism: you know when to be scrappy and when to introduce structure, and how to work with leaders in the business to help them determine when either approach makes sense
- Agency: You operate as an owner. You naturally take accountability for your role and your function and you don’t need to wait to be told do do something
- Growth mindset: You come to the conversation with solutions, not just problems. You’re curious to understand the specific challenges we face and ready to help us solve them with a first-principles based approach
- Excitement at the prospect of joining a fast-growing company with potential to change the way companies operate their businesses

Our take
An enterprise's contracts can be a key source of information to support better, faster decision-making, but extracting insights from them can be cumbersome due to their structure and complexity. One of Ivo's co-founders experienced this complexity first-hand, which is why the company was created to help streamline these workflows.
Whilst traditional contract workflows can slow down business, and even introduce more risk, Ivo's approach leverages AI to automate contract insights at scale. Its platform can review agreements, benchmark, uncover relationships between contracts, answer complex contract questions, and more.
Through this, Ivo reduces the workload for teams, so they can focus on actually creating value for the business. The platform is utilised by teams at IBM, Uber, Shopify and Canva, and the company has raised substantial funding to support accelerated product development and the building out of its team.
