Vice President of People & Business Strategy at Veho – New York, New York

About Veho
Veho’s mission is to power the future of commerce by making shopping, shipping and returns seamless for everyone.
We are building a modern, end-to-end logistics infrastructure designed entirely for the ever-evolving needs of ecommerce brands and everyday consumers.
Powered by next-generation technology and a vertically integrated supply chain, Veho gives brands and their customers unprecedented control over their deliveries and removes the pain from the ecommerce post-purchase experience. We make delivery the ‘extension of the brand’ and leverage it to create deeper loyalty and trust between brands and their customers, driving customer retention and lifetime value. Our rapidly growing client list includes leading consumer brands like Hello Fresh, Zara, Macy’s, Sephora, and more.
To truly build an iconic company, we strongly believe that our people and values must be aligned with our mission. As such, we take pride in our championship team, merit-based culture. We seek team players who want to compete, win, make an impact and build a legacy, and we reward performance and impact players with generous equity and incredible career growth opportunities.
As a post-purchase experience company, we believe every package delivery and every customer interaction is a Moment of Truth that enhances the shopping experience and therefore should be remarkable for shippers, drivers, and customers. We are not just building a logistics company; we are creating the next generation of shipping platforms, one that completely redefines what post-purchase experience is, and completely disrupts the old, legacy delivery giants that were designed for the 20th century.
About the Role
We are not looking for a traditional HR executive. We are seeking a dynamic, commercially-minded leader who sees people strategy in the lens of business strategy. This leader will leverage their experience in business operations and shape the people strategy to accelerate the business strategy. As a critical member of the executive leadership team, this person will report directly to the CFO and be responsible for designing, building, and scaling our entire People function to fuel our ambitious growth objectives. They will move Veho beyond conventional HR administration to create a transformative people experience that attracts, develops, and retains exceptional talent, fostering a high-performance culture that drives measurable business outcomes.
This role is for a strategic builder, innovator, and partner who thrives on solving complex organizational challenges with a first-principles thinking and business-driven approach.
