Head Of Human Resources-People

Head of PeopleLead hiring, pay, policy, and departures at a company where every equity or token grant is a securities transaction and every departure is a security event.PeopleFull timeKansasApply for this roleAbout the roleAt most companies an equity grant is paperwork and a resignation is an exit interview. At USSE a grant is a securities transaction, and a resignation starts a security process. We need a founding Head of People who can run both with care, and who holds the company's most sensitive information without ever letting it slip.### Where the people side of USSE stands* Our people records, hiring pipeline, and policy catalog are already set up in our internal systems, ready for a people leader to own and set the standard for.* The company is pre-revenue and has not raised a priced equity round, so every offer you write will be weighted toward ownership rather than salary.* Our token sale is built but paused, and no tokens have been sold. Token trading is not switched on, so token compensation has no market price today.* The platform has been live on Ethereum and Base, an Ethereum Layer 2 network, since July 4, 2026.### Three things that make people work different here* Grants are securities. Company equity and USSE tokens are both securities, and every grant moves through People, Finance, Legal, and the Board, in that order, before anyone receives it.* Trading is precleared. Team members may hold the company's token, so personal trades are submitted for preclearance and the decision is recorded.* Departures are security events. When someone leaves, every account, system access, and key permission is removed and the removal is confirmed, every time.### What lands on your desk* Recruiting and the candidate experience, from posting a job to a signed offer.* Onboarding: eligibility to work, agreements, and policy acknowledgements.* Compensation, payroll records, and benefits, with the CFO.* Starting every equity and token grant, and keeping it in the right order.* The handbook, company policies, and trading preclearance.* Your background### Required* 10+ years in human resources, including senior roles such as Head of People, HR Director, or VP of People.* You have run hiring, onboarding, pay, benefits, and departures yourself at an early-stage company.* Equity compensation knowledge: grant administration, vesting, and 409A valuations. Absolute discretion with pay, performance, health, and departure information.* Strongly preferred* People leadership at a fintech, digital asset, or financial services company.* Executive and technical recruiting.* You write policies that people can follow without asking you what they mean.### Where the Head of People worksThe Head of People works from our corporate office in Hutchinson, Kansas. You can start hybrid and then relocate to Hutchinson in person, since onboarding, hard conversations, and departures are best handled face to face. Cash compensation* An equity grant as a founding executive, with standard vesting* Tokens, if offered, under definitive agreements with vesting and lockups, in line with securities lawNo part of it is tied to money raised.You will explain this same risk to every candidate you bring in, so here it is plainly: we have no revenue, no tokens sold, and no equity raised. Cash may be limited or deferred until funding is secured, and equity or tokens may end up worth nothing. io/careers/status to check where your application stands at any time.We consider all qualified applicants without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.
