About this role
Rainmaker is pioneering a modern cloud seeding system to mitigate water scarcity and inclement weather. We develop and incorporate radar and satellite validation, weather-resistant UAS, weather modeling, and novel sensors and dispersions into an effective precipitation enhancement solution. Rainmaker is a high-performance research, engineering, and operations company. Our work requires scientific rigor, technical excellence, disciplined execution, and strong cross-functional communication across the cross-functional teams. We are hiring a Head of People to build the people infrastructure that allows Rainmaker to scale with clarity, accountability, and high standards. This role will own the company’s People operating system: organizational design, workforce planning, manager effectiveness, performance management, compensation, HR operations, employee relations, compliance, onboarding, people analytics, and scalable people processes. The Head of People will partner closely with the executive team to ensure that Rainmaker’s structure, management systems, and culture evolve as the company grows. Rainmaker is still defining many of its operating norms, management systems, and people processes. The right person will be able to create practical infrastructure without adding unnecessary bureaucracy. They should be equally comfortable advising the CEO on organization design, coaching managers through difficult people issues, building compensation and performance systems, and ensuring the company has clean, compliant, scalable HR operations. The Head of People will also oversee the Talent function. Recruiting is critical to Rainmaker’s success, but this role is not primarily a full-cycle recruiting role. We expect to hire a Talent Lead to own recruiting execution, candidate pipelines, sourcing strategy, and day-to-day hiring operations. The Head of People will ensure that the Talent function is tightly connected to workforce planning, role design, compensation, onboarding, manager readiness, and company priorities.
