Just is looking for Head of People
At Just we build financial products for CFOs and Corporate Treasurers that for too long have been exposed to inefficient and opaque business models by their financial providers, and expensive and unintelligent solutions by their financial software vendors. Our mission is to bring transparency to corporate FX, democratize interbank FX pricing and to transform corporate treasury from operational to strategic. We will do this by reinventing how corporations consume financial market data, and by building a fully integrated treasury operating system that contains risk analytics, decision support, and market execution - all in the cloud.

Our customers are businesses around the world that deal in global trade of goods and services. We’re helping both medium and large businesses become more efficient, save money, and level the playing field with their banks and financial providers that have discriminated against them for decades.

We are a fast moving fintech startup company with global presence. The team, which is currently expanding rapidly, consists of 10 highly motivated colleagues, and collectively, we have spent over a decade building algorithmic FX trading infrastructure for global banks, launched mobile payments companies, and successfully exited multiple tech companies.

We launched our first product late in 2019, and we are now serving top global brands in Europe and beyond. We are still tiny relative to the opportunity we are pursuing, and we have a staggering amount of work ahead of us.

We are looking for someone to facilitate our aggressive hiring roadmap and to hone our company culture into something our stakeholders will be proud of. The right candidate has deep experience in people operations and will serve as our Head of People. As Head of People, you will report directly to the COO and your main responsibility will be to own and drive our overall people strategy and also to build our company culture.

We have our roots in Norway, but we believe that the future of work is distributed. Therefore, our HQ is on the internet, and we’ll offer all team members flexible work solutions whether you want to work from your home or a local office hub.
