Job Description

Job Overview And Responsibility
About the Role

This isn't your typical "culture" role they need someone who can literally feel when the vibe is off and course-correct before it impacts velocity.

What You'll Do:

Conduct daily "vibe checks" across all departments and flag anomalies to leadership

Design and implement vibrational strategies that align with our mission to build AGI responsibly

Own the energy of all-hands meetings, offsites, and high-stakes investor presentations

Develop KPIs around team morale, creative flow states, and psychological safety

Serve as the organizational barometer if something feels weird, you'll know first

Curate Spotify playlists that enhance focus during deep work sprints

Mediate "vibe conflicts" before they escalate to actual HR issues

Partner with our Chief People Officer to ensure hiring decisions pass the vibe test

Required Skills and Experience
Requirements:

7+ years of experience reading rooms (professionally or as a highly observant human)

Proven track record of making awkward situations less awkward

Deep understanding of startup culture, AI ethics, and why both matter

Exceptional emotional intelligence can sense a Slack thread going sideways from three channels away

Experience with mindfulness practices, team dynamics, or organizational psychology preferred

Must be comfortable saying "the vibe is off" in executive meetings

Bonus: Synesthesia or claimed ability to see auras

You Might Be a Fit If:

You've ever been told you "light up a room."

People naturally confide in you, even strangers at coffee shops

You can tell when someone's about to quit before they can

You think "culture deck" shouldn't be a PowerPoint; it should be a feeling

You've successfully changed the energy of a death march sprint
