Head of People and Culture

Displate is one of the fastest growing art platforms in the world. We create high quality metal posters designed by artists and brands and ship them to customers globally.

What started as a product company has evolved into a global marketplace where art, design, pop culture, and fandom meet. Millions of customers use Displate to decorate their spaces with artwork they love.

Our ambition now is simple. Build the most efficient and scalable way to create and deliver metal art globally. 

That means better use of data. Faster execution. AI embedded across the business. And a culture where ideas turn into action quickly.

We are looking for a Head of People & Culture! Join us to lead our HR and Payroll teams in a 400 people-strong, globally operating organization. We are a rapidly changing company with ambitious growth plans, and we need a strong people leader to support us with a vision and execution that will make a real change. An unmissable opportunity to lead and inspire!

This is not a traditional strategy role. This is a builder role. Someone who turns ideas into systems, projects into outcomes, and complexity into simple operating frameworks.

Our Vision for 2026-2027

With an ambitious strategy already in motion, we are setting the stage for extraordinary growth by focusing on two key pillars:

🚀 Personalized Experiences – Elevating how customers engage with our brand.

🇺🇸 Expanding Our US Presence – Strengthening our foothold in a key market.

Over the next two years, we aim to double our order volume and cultivate a world-class team of experts. But achieving this vision requires exceptional leadership. We’re searching for a trailblazing leader to drive our success and take Displate to the next level. Could that be you?

• Personally drive execution while building a strong HR and Payroll team with clear ownership.

• Ensure payroll, benefits, and compensation work accurately, compliantly, and without slowing the business.
