Role Overview
As Global Head of People at RZR, you will own People Operations across the US and EMEA, partner directly with the CEO and COO on global People strategy, and consolidate the global People function under a single owner. You become the senior People leader for HQ and the executive team — and the connective tissue across regions.
Scope includes recruiting, retention, performance management, onboarding, employee experience, training, compliance, and HR business partnership for the US, EMEA, and Armenia teams. The role partners closely with the India People lead and China HRBP to keep standards consistent across geographies.
This is a high-ownership leadership role with real authority from day one. You will not be inheriting a polished machine — you will be consolidating a fragmented function, setting the operating model, and building a People engine that can support RZR's next phase of growth.
The right person for this role brings executive presence and process discipline in equal measure — someone who can earn the trust of the CEO and COO, hold the line on standards with senior leaders, and drive measurable improvement in hiring quality, performance consistency, and organizational health.
