What You Put In Is What You Get Out
This isn't a job. It's a stake.
A rare opportunity to build an HR system not just for a company --- but for an entire creative economy.
Compensation:
- No upfront cash
- Equity (shares) future token-based rewards (pending legal clearance)
- Salary unlocked by revenue milestones
- Remote-first, async-native, autonomy-rich team
Let's Be Absolutely Clear
We're not modernizing an HR system --- we're building one from scratch.
We need a builder. A visionary. A hands-on leader who can design and deploy an HR infrastructure built for the future --- and for a network of startups scaling on equity, tokens, trust, and cultural alignment.
Overview
We're hiring a Head, HR Systems Modernization to architect and implement a next-generation, global, remote-first HR platform --- purpose-built for Anime Universe and its expanding ecosystem of creative ventures.
This role is about designing the full HR stack: from hiring workflows to performance infrastructure, from equity \& token tracking to async onboarding and offboarding systems.
What You'll Own
-
HR Infrastructure \& Systems Design
-
Architect a fully customized, modular HRIS platform for global, remote-first, equity-driven organizations
-
Build workflows for hiring, onboarding, offboarding, compensation, recordkeeping, and contributor management
-
Set up systems for equity and token issuance, tracking, and vesting (in partnership with Legal \& Finance)
-
Define the tooling and platforms to support performance reviews, contractor agreements, time tracking, and compliance
-
Global People Operations
-
Lead global systems design across jurisdictions, ensuring legal compliance and documentation integrity
-
Build contributor records, digital personnel files, and audit trails across a unified architecture
-
Own integration between people systems and async platforms (e.g. Notion, Slack, Docs, Token Wallets)
-
Develop mechanisms to support decentralized hiring, equity alignment, and culture onboarding at scale
-
Organizational Partner Support
-
Design systems that can be replicated, licensed, or adapted for other AU-aligned startups and ventures
-
Help ecosystem partners onboard onto the platform and tailor it to their needs
-
Provide high-level architecture and scalable documentation for teams without dedicated HR functions
What We're Looking For
- 10 years in HR operations, systems architecture, or people infrastructure roles
- Proven track record of building or leading the implementation of a custom HRIS or modular HR tech stack
- Deep understanding of remote-first HR operations: async workflows, global compliance, digital recordkeeping
- Experience designing systems for equity-based or token-aligned teams
- Strong operational leadership across hiring, onboarding, performance, offboarding, and compensation
- Hands-on ability to evaluate, customize, or integrate tools --- including ATS, HRIS, payroll/equity platforms
- Proven ability to document and scale operational processes for non-traditional org structures
- Confident working in low-overhead, high-complexity environments with minimal preexisting tools
- Bonus for experience with Notion, Deel, Carta, BambooHR, Gusto, or DAO-style HR tooling
Compensation
- Equity (Shares): Founding partner-level
- Token Rewards: Pending legal readiness
- Salary: Unlocks via revenue milestones
- Remote-First: Async-native, globally distributed, trust-based team
Our Promise
We're not building HR for yesterday's workforce. We're building the operating system for creativity at scale --- where infrastructure supports ownership, autonomy, and aligned ambition.
If you're ready to architect that future, you belong here.
