Head of Performance

Job description

Monumental is automating on-site construction with robotics and software. Our mission is to make construction software-defined and autonomous - a future where beautiful, bespoke buildings go up in a single day, with minimal labour. We're a growing team of engineers, operators and technicians from companies like Palantir, Qualcomm, Dyson, Shopify, Tesla, Meta and Google DeepMind. It's still the early days of building the company, and this is a chance to make an outsized impact on a problem that matters. From day one, you’ll be working with an experienced founding team, backed by a $32M Series B led by Khosla Ventures and Plural. Monumental is based in the city centre of Amsterdam, in a beautiful facility with a fully equipped workshop and robot testing floor. We build the whole stack in-house - hardware and software, we're explicitly not a hybrid or remote-first company - you can't build robots or walls from home, so we're onsite five days a week.

About the role We're hiring our first Head of People & Performance to own how we attract, develop, and stretch our team as Monumental grows from around 100 people to several hundred over the next few years. You'll work as an extension of the founders - your job will be to get the most out of everyone and scale the judgment our team currently have in their own heads. It is integral to us that we maintain a startup culture that does not dilute as we enter our next phase of growth. You'll own the people side of how Monumental performs: who we hire, how we develop them, how we run our performance and equity cycles, and how we keep the bar high as the company grows. Our day-to-day people operations are already covered, so your job sits one layer above that, working directly with the founders and the leadership team. This is a hands-on, operator role. Like everyone at Monumental, you'll pick up the projects with the biggest priority at any given moment - the special projects that often span several teams and don't yet have an owner. One month that might mean standing up our performance and equity cycles; the next it might mean scop…
