VP of People & AI Officer
Prague
People Operations /
Full-time /
On-site
Keboola just raised $32M (Central Europe’s biggest Series A in 2023). We’re scaling fast from Europe to the US and beyond, transforming how companies work with data. Our platform delivers 10x results for customers - now we need someone to drive the same impact through our people, culture, and AI-powered future of work.
This isn’t traditional HR. Think operator, builder, culture architect. You’ll design people systems from scratch, pioneer AI-driven operations, and scale our startup soul across Prague, Chicago, Vancouver, and beyond.
Why this role matters - You’ll shape culture at the intersection of three revolutions:
- AI changing every job and workflow
- Distributed work redefining collaboration
- Data democratization powering decision-making everywhere
We’ve got no bureaucracy, no outdated playbook. Instead, you’ll build for scale while keeping our “get it done / no BS” DNA intact.
What you’ll do
- Architect culture → Turn our values into scalable ways of working, design vertical teams, keep startup vibe alive as we scale.
- AI-first People Ops → Use AI + our own platform for hiring, analytics, onboarding, performance, and automation.
- Global talent strategy → Build a hiring machine, craft comp & benefits, manage multi-country growth without red tape.
- Business impact → Tie people metrics directly to product velocity, revenue per employee, and customer success.
- Organizational transformation → Lead the shift to vertical teams, design AI-driven leadership programs, and create a world-class experience for distributed teams.
Who you are
- Operator before HR label - you think in P&L, not just policies.
- Tech-savvy - AI is your co-pilot, not your fear.
- Builder of high-performance cultures in fast-scaling, global SaaS companies.
- Fluent in people analytics and curious about SQL/Python.
- Comfortable balancing “anti-bureaucracy” with just enough structure.
- You’ve likely scaled from ~100 → 500+ people and across multiple regions.
What success looks like
- Year 1: Hiring speed doubles, eNPS jumps to top quartile, AI saves 30% of ops time.
- Year 2: Revenue per employee up 40%, voluntary attrition of top talent <5%.
- Year 3: Keboola is a global talent magnet and our culture is studied as a competitive edge
Logistics
- Base: Prague (travel 20–30%), first months need to be onsite to get the culture.
- Reports to: CEO (Pavel Doležal)
- Team: 3 people + unlimited AI agents
- Compensation: Competitive + equity
- Generous paid vacation time. And we mean generous.
- Cool new offices in the heart of Holešovice in Prague.
