Appodeal is seeking an HR Director to act as the COO's right hand in building a culture of high standards, speed, and accountability across the company.

We're looking for someone who thrives at the intersection of strategy and ruthless operational execution. You will be both a talent magnet and an execution enforcer: ensuring we attract and retain the best, while decisively exiting those who are not aligned with our culture of excellence.

About the role

The HRD will:

• Partner directly with the COO to embed execution discipline company-wide.
• Shape and model a Netflix-like culture of freedom + responsibility, with zero tolerance for mediocrity.
• Inspire top talent to thrive while removing roadblocks that slow them down.
  
  

Key Responsibilities

• Recruitment & Talent:
• Own the full recruitment process end-to-end, from sourcing to final decision.
• Spot, attract, and hire exceptional talent who raise the bar.
• Performance & Accountability:
• Build and enforce fast exit processes for misaligned or underperforming hires.
• Run regular performance assessments for teams and leaders.
• Drive accountability and execution discipline with leadership.
• Culture & Processes:
• Implement and maintain company-wide OKRs.
• Create an environment where top performers thrive without bureaucracy or politics.
• Model and enforce non-negotiables: high performance, no politics, no BS.
  

What We're Looking For

• Proven background in HR / Talent Acquisition / People Operations at a senior level.
• Demonstrated experience in execution management: setting up systems and making them stick.
• Tough-minded yet empathetic: able to make hard calls while inspiring the team.
• Strong ability to balance decisiveness with fairness.
• Experience in automating processes using modern technologies and AI-driven solutions.
• No politics. No theatrics. Just results.
  
  

KPIs — First 6 Months

• Recruiting Bar:
• ≥ 90% of new hires pass probation with high performance.
• Average time-to-fill ≤ 45 days.
• Exits & Accountability:
• All low-performers identified and exited within 30 days of evaluation.
• Zero "lingering problem passengers" in teams.
• OKR Discipline:
• Company-wide OKRs fully implemented and updated quarterly.
• 100% of teams have visible, measurable, aligned goals.
• Assessments:
• At least one full company-wide performance review cycle completed.
• Key talent and risk areas mapped across every business unit.
• Culture Fit:
• Clear non-negotiables on culture rolled out.
• ≥ 80% of employees confirm in surveys that culture has become clearer and more demanding.
  

This is a role for a builder, an enforcer, and a motivator.
