Why this role matters ?

Because a company doesn't grow by adding people : it grows by elevating its culture.

Hublo is entering a new phase: over 200 employees, strong growth, European ambitions, and a higher need for coherence between mission, performance, and daily practices.

That's why the Head of People role is much more than an HR position.
It's about turning a strong culture into a lasting competitive advantage by:

- Aligning people systems with business strategy,
- Empowering managers to lead with autonomy and accountability,
- Making rigor a source of trust, not control.

This role matters because it holds a rare balance:growing people without losing performance,scaling without losing humanity,and helping Hublo grow without losing itself.
