Head of HR and Talent

About the company Asseti is the category-defining platform for asset intelligence and operations, used by some of the world’s largest real estate owners to understand their assets, optimise portfolio performance, and make smarter operational, maintenance, and capital decisions.
We turn complex, fragmented asset information into a single source of truth - combining real-time condition insights with the operational context needed to prioritize work, manage risk, and drive efficient action across large property networks.
We streamline asset operations by enabling teams to identify issues, understand impact, coordinate responses, and measure improvement - all within one unified platform.
We’re building the intelligence and operational backbone that helps leading organizations run their assets with clarity, consistency, and confidence.

This is our first dedicated people hire. You’ll own how we find, hire, onboard, and support great people across four countries and multiple time zones. You’ll take what currently runs across founders, managers, and spreadsheets and turn it into a clear, reliable, and scalable operation.
If you want to build a function rather than maintain one, and you get energy from both landing great hires and bringing order to complexity, this is the role.

You’ll own talent and people operations end to end across all regions. On the talent side, that means hiring: workforce planning with leadership, sourcing and closing candidates, and building a recruiting engine that consistently brings in high-caliber people across engineering, product, go-to-market, and operations. On the operations side, it means onboarding, HR policies and compliance, payroll and benefits administration, HR systems, and employee records.
You’ll work closely with the CEO and leadership team, and the people you hire will shape what Asseti becomes.

You’ll hire the people who take Asseti to its next stage, design the systems that support them, and see your impact in every team across four countries.
We offer a competitive base salary and meaningful equity in a high-growth SaaS company with category-defining potential. Your equity means you share in the long-term value created by the people you bring in and the foundations you build.
You’ll report directly to the CEO, help shape our culture as we grow, and decide how we hire, onboard, and develop talent globally. This isn’t just another HR role. It’s a chance to put your fingerprints on a company that’s redefining how the world’s largest asset owners operate.
If you want to build something from scratch, hire exceptional people, and grow with a company on the rise, this is the role.
