Astra is seeking its first Head of People to build, scale, and sustain a high-performing company. This strategic role involves designing people systems, culture, and operating foundations to support rapid growth.

Partnering with the executive team, you'll translate business strategy into organizational design and leadership development, ensuring Astra remains a place where exceptional people thrive.

<h2 class="text-2xl md:text-3xl font-bold mt-10 mb-4 border-b pb-2 text-gray-800">About Astra</h2><p class="my-4 text-gray-700 leading-relaxed">Astra is building mission-critical infrastructure for moving money at scale. Our platform processes billions in annual transaction volume with 99.9%+ uptime, powering real-time transfers, bank debits, card disbursements, and complex financial compliance systems. We provide APIs and automation tools that enable businesses to move money programmatically while maintaining strict regulatory requirements.</p><h2 class="text-2xl md:text-3xl font-bold mt-10 mb-4 border-b pb-2 text-gray-800">The Role</h2><p class="my-4 text-gray-700 leading-relaxed">As Astra’s Head of People and first dedicated human resources professional, you will be at the center of how we build, scale, and sustain a high-performing company.

You’ll partner closely with the executive team to translate business strategy into organizational design, headcount planning, and leadership development.</p><p class="my-4 text-gray-700 leading-relaxed">Because this is an early leadership hire, you’ll have direct input into how Astra structures its org, develops talent, manages performance, and builds culture as we scale from a small team into a durable company.
