A Head of People typically leads the whole people function, covering hiring, development, retention and workplace practices. A strong candidate brings experience building people programs in a growing hardware or industrial company, plus the judgment to balance employee needs with business goals. At a company making high power energy storage for data centers, grids, transport and defense, that means supporting teams that mix engineering, manufacturing and commercial work.
How it fits the AI era
AI tools now handle scheduling, screening, survey analysis and routine policy questions, so the people lead spends less time on administration. What stays human is trust, conflict resolution, career conversations and shaping how teams work together through change. The role becomes more about designing fair, clear systems that people actually want to use.
How it builds AI experience
This role offers hands on exposure to AI in HR: using analytics to spot turnover risks, automating onboarding steps and testing tools for fairer hiring. A candidate can build this by learning one people analytics platform, running a small pilot on a real process and measuring what improves. Experience with AI in a manufacturing or engineering setting is especially useful here.
