Head of People & AI Enablement

RevolutionParts is a high-growth SaaS company modernizing and transforming the automotive parts eCommerce ecosystem.  Our platform enables enterprise and mid-market customers to operate more efficiently, grow profitably, and deliver best-in-class digital experiences in an industry that has historically lagged in innovation.
Founded in 2014, RevolutionParts combines deep automotive domain expertise with modern SaaS infrastructure to power a more efficient, scalable, and connected supply chain. We are building the industry-defining platform—and we’re entering the next phase of scale
RevolutionParts is entering its next phase of scale.
We’ve built a category-defining SaaS platform modernizing automotive parts eCommerce, serving 2,750+ customers with ambitions to 3x the business over the next several years. We are VC-backed, growth-oriented, and moving from founder-led execution toward durable, scalable operations. We also believe the next $100M of revenue should be built on dramatically more leverage per employee than the last. That means an organization where AI is woven into how every team operates, hires, performs, and grows.
To get there, we need a Head of People who has done this before, and who is already operating in an AI-native way.
This is not a maintenance role. This is a builder-operator role for a senior People leader who has guided a company through the Series A → B → C journey (or equivalent revenue and headcount scale), knows what breaks, what matters, and what must be built before it becomes painful, and who is fluent enough in AI to architect a People function and a workforce that runs on it.
You will partner directly with the CEO and executive team to build the leadership depth, operating discipline, AI-leveraged ways of working, and people systems required for the next chapter of growth, and eventual liquidity.
Location: We’d love to find someone in the Phoenix area, but we’re open to exceptional U.S.-based remote talent as well.

The Mission:

Build a high-performance, AI-leveraged organization that scales revenue, talent, and leadership without losing speed or culture.
You will own the full People function (strategy and execution) and ensure People decisions are directly tied to business outcomes. You will also be the executive most responsible for raising the AI fluency of the company: redesigning roles, workflows, and performance expectations around what an AI-augmented team can actually do.

What You’ll Be Accountable For

Executive Partnership & Scale Readiness

• Act as a trusted advisor to the CEO and executive team on org design, succession, leadership effectiveness, and workforce planning, including how AI reshapes capacity and headcount assumptions.
• Prepare the company for board-level scrutiny, diligence, and future exit scenarios (PE, M&A, or IPO).
• Translate business strategy into people strategy with clear operating rhythms and accountability.

Organizational Design & Leadership Depth

• Design and evolve org structures that support growth from ~150 → 250+ employees, with AI leverage built into capacity planning rather than bolted on after the fact.
• Build leadership bench strength, succession plans, and readiness across critical roles, including the AI fluency required of every leader operating at scale.
• Coach executives known for results, not theory.

Talent Density & Hiring Excellence

• Build scalable, data-driven hiring systems that prioritize talent density over volume.
• Make AI fluency a first-class signal in hiring. How candidates think, work, and produce with AI is part of how we evaluate them.
• Raise hiring standards while maintaining speed in a competitive market.
• Ensure consistent, bias-aware decision-making tied to long-term performance.

People Infrastructure That Actually Scales

• Architect and professionalize People systems: HRIS, performance management, compensation, leveling, and career frameworks.
• Build a People function that runs AI-forward by default, using AI to operate with leverage rather than headcount, and modeling for the rest of the company what an AI-native function looks like.
• Ensure compliance, data integrity, and operational excellence without bureaucracy.
• Build dashboards that executives actually use to run the business.
