## Job description

We're a product-first team on a mission to help grow the cybersecurity culture 🔐

We want to instill cybersecurity good practices to employees in a way that's actually effective, and entertaining enough so that employees don't feel like they're working. Think Duolingo but for cybersecurity.

We created a platform to easily rollout a cybersecurity awareness program: the platform sends chat-based 4-minutes long courses to teams. Following the courses, the other side of the platform simulates phishing attacks, to prepare employees to face hackers, but in a safe environment.

Created in 2020, Riot has raised $45m with leading investors (Y Combinator, Left Lane, Base10, Funders Club and Frst Capital) and is now protecting more than 2,000,000 employees in over 2,000 companies (including Intercom, Deel, and Deezer) all over the world.

Cybersecurity is everywhere. It's impacting everyone, everyday, and it's becoming the number one risk to any organization, whether it's a small business or a big firm. Yet, the cybersecurity culture in most companies is a disaster. Hackers are leveraging this by targeting the weakest link: the employees. We're on a mission to fix that.

You will join the People team and partner closely with Riot’s managers to support the company’s growth. Your main focus will be to help build high-performing teams by advising leaders on performance, organization, and talent development as Riot scales globally.

## What you will do 🤝

1. Drive performance management Own Riot’s performance framework: probation reviews, performance reviews, and improvement plans. Support managers in assessing performance and making fair, consistent decisions. Provide guidance on performance conversations. Ensure performance processes remain simple, structured, and impactful.
2. Partner with managers on team effectiveness Act as a trusted advisor to managers on people and team topics. Support leaders in team organization, role clarity, and structure. Help managers navigate complex people situations. Identify organizational risks and opportunities early.
3. Develop Riot’s managers Support managers in developing leadership skills and best practices. Build frameworks and resources to help managers run effective teams. Contribute to manager onboarding and development initiatives.
4. Support talent planning Drive talent planning and succession thinking with leadership. Help identify high-potential employees and development opportunities. Ensure Riot keeps the right people in the right roles as we scale.
5. Ensure legal compliance and manage People risk Map and maintain Riot's People legal documents. Ensure all mandatory workplace postings (affichages obligatoires) are compliant and up to date. Proactively identify and mitigate People legal risks, escalating to external counsel when needed.

## Who you are 🪪

- You have 6+ years of experience, including at least 3 years in a senior People Business Partner or People Leadership role in a demanding, high-growth environment (scale-up, tech, consulting, or similar).
- You have a track record of advising and coaching senior managers and leadership on complex people topics, not just executing processes.
- You combine strong business judgment with the ability to challenge managers constructively while maintaining their trust.
- You have solid knowledge of French labor law and are comfortable handling legal People topics hands-on.
- You're rigorous, action-oriented, and comfortable operating without a large People team around you.
- You thrive in fast-moving organizations where headcount, roles, and org structures evolve quickly.
- You don't need to be an expert on cybersecurity, but you need to be motivated by the mission.
- You have a full professional proficiency in English and native in French.
- You're based in Paris or you're willing to relocate.

It will be a cultural fit if 🫂

- You're a doer: not afraid to get your hands dirty and get things done.
- You have high standards: expect performance to be nothing short of the best.
- You are an enthusiastic at heart: exhibit passion and excitement over work.

## Why join us at Riot 💜

- Join a financially-healthy company: we're financially strong and highly capital-efficient. Fundraising fuels our momentum, enabling us to scale faster and unlock new growth opportunities.
- Contribute to a fast-growing startup with a strong vision and high ambitions, backed by clear business goals. We've tripled our revenue over the past two years, and we plan to grow from €20M to €40M ARR in 2026.
- Experience the energy of a collaborative team in our modern and cosy office located in heart of Paris: République / Canal Saint-Martin
