Curewiki operates a patient-initiated clinical research discovery platform live across Europe. We're vendor-cleared at top-tier pharma sponsors and CROs, our hospital footprint is expanding through EU interoperability initiatives, and we're building out our commercial organisation right now — multiple senior and country-level roles open at once, across several countries, with a strict A-player bar. That build doesn't happen without someone who owns it.

As Head of People & Culture, you'll own everything about how Curewiki hires, develops, rewards, and retains its people across a remote, multi-country European team. This is a player-coach role by design: you'll personally run the searches that matter most, while building the people infrastructure a scaling company needs — from multi-country employment setups to a compensation and equity framework to a performance rhythm that keeps the A-bar real after the offer is signed.

As Head of People & Culture, you'll own everything about how Curewiki hires, develops, rewards, and retains its people across a remote, multi-country European team. This is a player-coach role by design: you'll personally run the searches that matter most, while building the people infrastructure a scaling company needs — from multi-country employment setups to a compensation and equity framework to a performance rhythm that keeps the A-bar real after the offer is signed.

Your responsibilities:
Talent acquisition
Own the hiring engine end to end: open-role portfolio, search strategy per role, and pipeline health, personally driving the most senior and hardest searches
Run the hiring process as promised in every posting: fast, transparent, evidence-based, with feedback at every step, completed in weeks rather than months
Hold the A-player bar in every process — evidence over titles and degrees, and the courage to keep a seat empty rather than fill it with a B
Build the employer brand that makes A-players come to us
People operations & employment infrastructure
Own employment setup across our European footprint: contracts, EOR/entity decisions per country, and compliant onboarding wherever the right person lives
Run core people operations with our part-time HR support and external providers: payroll coordination, social security administration, absence, and policies
Make onboarding a weapon: new hires productive in days, with clear 90-day expectations from day one

Compensation & equity architecture

Build Curewiki 's compensation framework: bands per role and level, benchmarked for the European markets we hire in, with a clear transparency philosophy Performance, development & culture Install a lightweight performance rhythm: clear goals, honest feedback, development conversations that actually happen Build development around strengths, with stretch assignments and promotion paths earned by outcomes Own culture deliberately in a remote, multi-country company Act as coach and confidential sounding board for leadership on team design and organisational decisions AI-first people function Run the people function AI-first: sourcing, screening support, documentation, and analytics leveraged with modern tooling, with human judgment where it counts most

Requirements

You've owned the people function through this exact stage before: scaling from a small core team to a multi-country organisation — and can show what you built and what broke without you

You've personally closed senior hires (not just coordinated them), and can walk us through the last two: how you found them, what nearly lost them, how you won You know European employment across borders: you've set up or run employment in multiple EU countries, and know when to use an EOR vs. open an entity, and what each costs You've built a compensation and equity framework from scratch (or rebuilt a broken one) and can defend the design choices You're a genuine player-coach: happiest owning the work directly, building systems as you go, hiring your own team only when volume truly demands it You run AI-first and can show how it's changed the way you work Fluent professional English Nice to have Experience in healthtech, life sciences, or another regulated industry Experience supporting a company through a financing round and the team scaling that follows Familiarity with Belgian employment and social security specifics

Benefits

Remote work within the EU, with a Belgium-based preference
A player-coach mandate: real ownership from day one, not administration of someone else's decisions
Direct access to and partnership with the Founder & CEO and leadership team — you're treated as co-architect of the organisation

A fast, transparent hiring process (and yes, the same process you'll run for others is run on you): intro call, founder deep-dive, practical working session, COO conversation, references — feedback at every step, completed in weeks not months

A high-velocity, mission-driven team that writes things down, moves fast, and takes AI leverage as a baseline in every role
The chance to build the people function of a healthtech scale-up from the ground up, across multiple countries
