At AptDeco, we are building a best in class furniture marketplace combined with a truly one of a kind logistics platform that optimizes for single furniture pick ups and deliveries. What makes AptDeco unique is our delivery logistics. Because we do not warehouse items, we rely on cutting edge scheduling and routing algorithms to pick up and deliver thousands of items every month. As AptDeco continues to grow and expand to new markets this year, it’s critical we create a sustainable and thoughtful people function.
AptDeco is looking for a Head of People & Culture who is excited to build and refine people processes within a growing organization. This role will play a critical role in scaling the AptDeco HQ and Delivery Team. As the Head of People & Culture, you will be responsible for leading, coaching, and overseeing the entire function. This role will be entrusted to develop and execute people strategy across the company. This role reports to the CEO and requires travel to our Warehouses as necessary.

Salary Range: $140,000 - $180,000
Our salary ranges are based on paying competitively for our size and industry, and are one part of a total compensation package that also includes benefits, equity, and other opportunities at AptDeco. We created thoughtful and well researched salary ranges that take into consideration the following components: company industry, size, revenue, department, and funding stage.
As an early stage startup, we also include equity in compensation packages and believe employees should have an option to purchase ownership in the company and benefit from what we hope will be a lot of upside growth.
Individual pay decisions are based on a number of factors, including qualifications for the role, experience level, and balancing internal equity relative to other employees. We are confident that the overall package offered is on par if not more competitive to others at our stage.
