Head of People & Culture at Human-Centered Social Network Startup

ABOUT LIFEBONDER

Beyond digital interaction, LifeBonder encourages real-world connection — from spontaneous meet-ups to deep, lasting friendships that thrive face to face. With our LifeBonder app, you’re not just seen, you’re understood—and you don’t need to shrink to fit in — you simply belong.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We’re seeking a naturally people-led, emotionally intelligent, and self-directed People & Culture Manager (part-time) to nurture, protect, and amplify the human heartbeat of LifeBonder.

This role is central to how our team experiences work, connection, and belonging. You’ll be the consistent point of care for our people — supporting new hires as they onboard, checking in with existing team members to monitor wellbeing and performance, and actively shaping a culture where individuals feel supported, aligned, and energised.

You’ll also serve as the cultural ambassador for LifeBonder — someone who lives and breathes our values and brings them to life through meaningful conversations, rituals, and team experiences.

This role is ideal for someone who genuinely loves people, brings a naturally uplifting and empowering presence, and can connect with individuals from all walks of life — while still holding structure, boundaries, and clarity in a results-oriented framework.

Please be aware that this is anUNPAIDopportunity.

• Conduct regular 1:1 check-ins with newly hired team members as part of their onboarding journey — ensuring they feel welcomed, supported, aligned and set up for success
• Hold ongoing check-ins with existing staff to support wellbeing, engagement, and performance
• Act as a trusted point of contact for team members — offering presence, perspective, and guidance when needed
• Conduct exit interviews to gain valuable insights for retention and wellbeing
• Chair and facilitate monthly cross-functional team meetings that include an element of team-building initiatives and culture-led experiences that strengthen connection and morale while encouraging open communication and collaboration
• Provide professional development micro learning sessions workshops on leadership and more
• Serve as the ambassador of LifeBonder’s culture, values, and ways of working, ensuring they are embodied in every point of contact with our team
• Partner closely with leadership to surface insights, patterns, and opportunities for improving the team experience

• A natural people person with a warm, uplifting energy who makes others feel at ease immediately
• Someone who genuinely enjoys connecting with people from diverse backgrounds, roles, and lived experiences
• Previous professional experience as a counsellor, therapist, or similar people-support role is essential
• Emotionally intelligent, grounded, and able to hold space while still providing clarity and direction
• Highly self-led, organised, and comfortable working autonomously in a remote-first bootstrapped tech startup environment
• Strong facilitation and communication skills — you can guide conversations with ease and intention
• A global mindset shaped by growing up or living in a culturally diverse country, allowing you to communicate naturally and build trust across an international team
• Deep alignment with LifeBonder’s mission of belonging, authenticity, and meaningful connection

Please be aware that this is anUNPAIDopportunity.

• Leadership that values human depth, emotional intelligence, and genuine connection
• True ownership of the people and culture function — this is your domain and yours alone
• Hands-on experience shaping the culture of a mission-driven, purpose-led tech startup
• The opportunity to make a tangible difference in how people experience work and belonging
• A flexible, remote environment built on trust, autonomy, and mutual respect
• The chance to help build something meaningful — from the inside out
