Construction is the second-largest industry in the world—nearly 4x the size of SaaS—yet it still operates without the automated feedback loops that modern software teams rely on. Without real-time observability, issues are detected too late, contributing to over $3 Trillion in annual global waste.
Doxel brings computer vision and AI to construction, giving teams real-time visibility into progress, risk, and execution. From hospitals to data centers, and from field leaders to executive teams, Doxel is used every day to support better decisions and faster delivery. Our platform is trusted by industry leaders including Shell, Genentech, HCA Healthcare, Kaiser, Turner, and Layton.
Doxel’s automated progress tracking solution keeps teams aligned with hard facts that leave no ambiguity on where the project is today, where it will be tomorrow and what decisions need to be made to land it on schedule and on budget. This enables our customers to deliver projects, on average, 11% ahead of schedule with up to 16% savings on monthly cash flow.
Backed by Insight Partners and Andreessen Horowitz and with a rapidly growing team of engineers, scientists, construction veterans, and Enterprise go-to-market teams, we're driven to help our customers win.
Join us as we continue our journey to transform the $15T Construction Industry!
The Role
You'll design the people systems and processes our company scales and thrives on: how we level and pay, how we onboard, how we grow and promote, and how we manage performance. The raw material is strong — a high-talent team, support for modern tooling, and leaders who care about performance as much as you do.
This is a builder's seat, not a maintenance role. You'll report directly to our CEO, with the mandate and autonomy to shape how Doxel hires, develops, and retains talent as we scale — and the trust to build it right the first time.
Your Day To Day
Talent engine. Recruiting execution has dedicated owners — you make the machine around them world-class: hiring velocity, interview quality, decision discipline, and a candidate experience that closes the people we want most.
Performance Management, Career Pathing & Manager Development. Partner with Finance on leveling architecture and benchmarking (Pave/Carta); design offer strategy. Own and evolve our career pathing framework so growth criteria at every level are clear and defensible. Run merit and promotion cycles end to end, including calibration. Directly coach and develop our people managers — especially first-time managers — through performance conversations, calibration, and promotion decisions.
People platform (HRIS). Rippling is our HRIS and you own it: job architecture, approval workflows, onboarding that impresses on day one, offboarding that's airtight.
Employee Relations. Be the first line on ER issues — investigations, conflict escalation, terminations — handled with rigor and fairness, and coach managers through difficult situations before they escalate.
Benefits, total rewards & employee support. Own benefits strategy and annual renewals with our broker, 401(k) administration, and payroll operations across [confirm: two countries, or more — flagging the discrepancy with the "11+ countries" line elsewhere]. Make our rewards competitive, understood, and efficient. Support immigration needs (H-1B and related, with dedicated outside counsel), mobility.
Learning & Development. We have a track record of growing up-and-coming managers into senior leaders. You will own and grow the learning & development program to scale this success.
We hire and promote on one criterion: the best person for every job. We expect our People leader to build systems that are rigorously fair and rigorously excellent, and to keep the function anchored to mission and merit.
What Success Looks Like
You're hungry to build from the ground up and partner directly with the CEO on a daily basis
A true generalist with depth: credible on career pathing conversations comp architecture one day, an immigration case the next, an HRIS workflow redesign the day after
A player/coach. You build the model, configure the system, and run the process yourself — then systematize so it scales
Experienced with multi-entity or international operations is a big plus
Fluent in modern people tooling — Rippling or comparable HRIS; Pave/Carta
Trusted at both altitudes: executives & employees
What You Bring
10+ years of blended Recruiting and HR experience
At least 2+ years within an Enterprise SaaS environment
Experience at a growth-stage company (roughly 50–300 headcount during tenure)
Talent Engine: Experience building or significantly improving hiring infrastructure, with measurable and effective KPIs (time-to-fill, offer-accept rate, interviewer scorecard consistency, etc.)
Performance Management, Career Pathing & Manager Development:
Has run performance review/merit/promotion or calibration cycles directly, not just supported them
Has built or owned a career pathing framework — clear criteria for what growth looks like at each level, not just comp bands tied to titles
Has direct experience developing first-time or early-stage people managers — coaching them through their first performance conversations, calibration debates, or promotion decisions, not just training them once and moving on
Comfortable coaching managers through difficult performance conversations in real time
HRIS ownership: Hands-on experience owning an HRIS (Rippling or comparable) — configuring job architecture, approval workflows, onboarding/offboarding flows — not just using one as an end user
Employee Relations: Demonstrated experience handling ER issues directly — investigations, terminations, conflict escalation, manager coaching
Preferred Experience
Compensation & benchmarking: Comfort constructing offers and leveling using benchmarking data (Pave, Radford, or similar; Carta for equity) — noting compensation budget currently sits with Finance, so this is closer to fluency and partnership than sole ownership today
Multi-entity/international experience: We currently operate across 11+ countries, so background in international HR operations and best practices is very helpful
Benefits & Total Rewards: Experience owning benefits strategy and running an annual renewal with a broker; familiarity with 401(k) administration and multi-country payroll operations
Immigration: Prior experience supporting or managing employer-sponsored immigration cases
