Head of People

Weezie • Atlanta, GA

6d • Hybrid

About The Position

Weezie is seeking its first Head of People to build and lead a best-in-class People function as the business enters its next phase of growth. Partnering closely with the CEO and executive team, this role owns Weezie's end-to-end people strategy, from attracting and onboarding exceptional talent to developing employees, strengthening performance management, and designing an organization built for sustainable growth. The Head of People will inherit an established and capable People team, and a key part of the role is developing and elevating that team while thoughtfully expanding the function as the business grows. Equally strategic and hands-on, this leader will be comfortable rolling up their sleeves to drive day-to-day execution while building the infrastructure, programs, and capabilities that will support Weezie well into the future. Weezie's growth is accelerating quickly, with a diverse workforce that spans its Atlanta corporate office, its Buckhead flagship retail store, and its Austell fulfillment center. As the company continues expanding across channels, categories, and systems, it has reached an inflection point where additional structure, process, and leadership are needed to fuel its next stage of growth, all while preserving the entrepreneurial, collaborative, and high-trust culture that has defined Weezie from the beginning. The ideal candidate is an accomplished People leader and builder who is excited by the opportunity to grow both a function and a brand, and who enjoys building as much as operating.
