About us
We're building the creative layer for modern communication. Every month, over a billion people make presentations — but the tools they use to make them haven't evolved in decades. We're changing that, using AI to disrupt a massive market.
📈 Millions of people rely on Gamma to create, teach, and persuade, creating more than 1 million gammas every day.
💻 We see Gamma as the next great workplace tool, combining viral B2C love with a massive B2B opportunity. We believe AI can be a true creative partner: one that understands context, clarity, and taste.
💸 We’ve reached a $2.1B valuation, crossed $100M in annual recurring revenue, and have been profitable since 2023.
💙 We're an imaginative, passionate team who takes our work seriously, but not ourselves. Our culture is warm, a little quirky, and fueled by curiosity.
About the role
Gamma is one of the fastest-growing AI companies in the world - profitable, ~100 people, and one of four top features on the Forbes AI 50 in 2026. We're building the platform that's replacing static slides with a new medium for presenting ideas, and millions of people already use it every week.
That growth has outpaced the systems underneath it. The processes that got us here won't carry us to a global, multi-hundred-person company - and we need someone to build what comes next. This is a ground-floor opportunity to design the entire operational backbone of the People function at a company that's already winning, and to do it with the tools and ambition of 2026, not 2019. We're an AI company - the way we run internally should reflect that. Automated by default. Workflows over headcount. Systems that get smarter over time.
You'll own everything from HRIS and people systems to onboarding, offboarding, performance infrastructure, compliance, and employee data. You'll be the person managers actually want to talk to - a hands-on partner for org health, coaching, and navigating the messy human stuff day-to-day. And you'll have deep partnership with the Head of People to make sure what you build isn't just functional, but genuinely excellent.
What you'll do
Systems & Infrastructure
- Evaluate, select, and implement our HRIS across payroll, IT, onboarding, reporting, and employee records
- Continuously optimize our people tech stack with a bias toward AI-powered workflows and automation - if a process can be handled by an agent or a workflow, it should be
- Own employee data, reporting, and analytics - build the tools and automations that give managers self-service access to what they need
- Own our benefits program end-to-end - evaluate what we offer, keep it competitive, and make sure employees actually understand and use what they have
Employee Lifecycle
- Design and run onboarding from offer accept through first 90 days - personalized, automated where possible, and world-class
- Own offboarding end-to-end - clean, compliant, and thoughtful
- Build scalable processes for a distributed, international workforce - with a default toward automation over headcount
Performance & Development
- Stand up and run our performance review cycles - from system configuration to manager calibration
- Build the infrastructure for ongoing coaching and performance management (frameworks, templates, manager guidance)
- Partner with managers on employee development conversations and performance concerns
People Partnering
- Serve as the day-to-day people partner for functional leads and people managers - attending team meetings as needed, advising on org health, flagging risks early
- Help managers become better managers through lightweight coaching and just-in-time support
- The Head of People holds the direct partnership with the CEO and co-founders; you'll partner with the broader leadership team and support managers across the org
What you'll bring
- 6-9+ years of experience, with meaningful time in People Ops or HR at a high-growth tech company. We're also very open to people who started in consulting, strategy, or business operations and moved into the People function - if you bring structured thinking and have built real people ops infrastructure, we care about that more than a linear HR career path
- Comfortable in ambiguity - you figure things out without a lot of hand-holding
- Operationally rigorous and detail-oriented, but knows when to ship 80% and iterate
- Experience evaluating and selecting HRIS platforms (Rippling, Workday, BambooHR, etc.) - you've led a selection process, not just inherited a system
- You've built processes from scratch - not just inherited and maintained them
- Strong enough with data to build your own reports and spot what matters
- You move fast with new tools, especially AI. You don't need to be an expert today, but you should be the kind of person who sees a new AI capability and immediately thinks "how can I use this to solve a problem I have right now?" - and then actually builds it that week, not that quarter
- Low tolerance for repetitive manual work. Your instinct is to automate, and you have the resourcefulness to do it yourself - whether that's with AI tools, no-code platforms, scripts, or whatever gets the job done
- You prefer building to maintaining, and you're energized (not daunted) by the idea of being the first person in this seat
Compensation range:
The base salary for this full-time position, which spans multiple internal levels depending on qualifications, ranges between $200K - $250K plus benefits & equity.
Final offer amounts are determined by multiple factors, including but not limited to experience and expertise in the requirements listed above.
If you're interested in this role but you don't meet every requirement, we encourage you to apply anyway! We're always excited about meeting great people.
Life at Gamma
🤝 You’ll fit right in if…
- You get energy from small teams doing big things.
- You love when design, code, and storytelling overlap.
- You default to action, even when the answer isn’t clear yet.
- You value details, but know when to ship and move on.
- You bring both the spreadsheets and the sparkle, equal parts workhorse and unicorn.
- You believe AI should amplify creativity, not replace it.
- You know kindness and intensity are not opposites.
- You like working with people who care deeply: about their craft, their teammates, and the users on the other side of the screen.
💙 Who we are
Gamma is full of imaginative, passionate people who take their work seriously but not themselves. The culture is warm, a little quirky, and fueled by curiosity. It’s the kind of place where you’ll debate a pixel on Monday, laugh over someone’s keyboard setup on Tuesday, and ship something remarkable by Friday.
We care about craft, move with intention, and don’t mind getting a little scrappy. It’s fast, creative, and occasionally chaotic — but that’s what makes it interesting.
💬 Here’s a bit about what it’s like to work here, from people on the inside:
We asked the team what makes Gamma, Gamma. Here were some of their answers:
- "quirky, inspiring, fun, a little wild in the best way"
- "You can have an idea and just run with it."
- "Everyone’s talented and humble — the mix keeps you sharp."
- "We ship cool stuff, learn a ton, and laugh a lot doing it."
