Head of Finance

Who We Are

We're a team on a mission to make work better for everyone, everywhere. We empower people to thrive at work, without creating more work for them.

Humu is an HR technology platform that makes it easy for organizations and their people to improve, every single week. Science shows that the fastest path to improvement is via personalized coaching in the flow of work. That's exactly what Humu does. Humu nudges managers and their teams to build better habits that will lead to their success. Unlike most tools, Humu combines Nobel-prize winning science and technology to pinpoint which behaviors and people skills leaders, managers, and employees need to be effective. Humu helps customers drive outcomes like improving managers, increasing agility, building more inclusive cultures and boosting team performance.

Humu was founded in 2017; in 2021 we raised a $60M Series C round and we're excited to grow our ~100-person company. We started with an office in Mountain View, CA; we still have that office, but we've since hired many employees across the US and plan to continue supporting a remote-first culture..

We're looking for passionate collaborators who are excited about building a product that empowers people to improve themselves, and the teams around them.
