About the job
Synethos helps organizations improve hiring, workforce development and cultural insight while building the foundations of Workforce Intelligence to execute at full capacity.
For decades, HR has been asked to make some of the most consequential decisions a company makes — who to hire, who to develop, where the culture is heading — with tools that weren't built for the question. Spreadsheets. Hunches. Surveys nobody reads. Skills taxonomies that go stale before they're finished.
AccelerationLab was built on a different premise: that people decisions deserve the same rigor we apply to product, finance, or science. We combine organizational development expertise with data and life sciences to help companies see their workforce clearly — and act on what they see.
Synethos is our SaaS platform, and it's how we're bringing that vision to the market. It helps companies and recruiters reduce hiring effort while raising quality, build a living inventory of their skills and core competencies, and measure the cultural indicators that actually matter. Put together, those signals give leaders a perspective on individual and collective talentship they simply can't get anywhere else.
We're looking for the person who's going to help shape what Synethos becomes — and how the market experiences it.
The Role
This isn't a back-office HR position. You'll sit at the intersection of product, client success, and go-to-market — bringing deep HR expertise into a fast-moving platform business.
You will:
- Be the subject matter authority behind Synethos's future development — translating HR reality into product direction, and challenging us where the platform should go further.
- Guide clients through adoption — leading competency inventory work, running change management, and serving as the strategic reference point for clients as they integrate Synethos into how they hire, develop, and plan their workforce.
- Contribute to sales and marketing — bringing credibility to client conversations, shaping narratives that resonate with HR buyers, and helping us articulate what makes Synethos different.
- Help us build and promote the platform — through thought leadership, client stories, and active participation in the broader HR and people analytics community.
What you bring
- 10+ years in HR, with hands-on experience setting up ATS, HRIS, and contributing to HR transformation projects from the inside.
- Solid grounding in people analytics and psychometry — you understand what good measurement looks like and where it breaks down.
- Working knowledge of AI and how it's reshaping the HR stack, with views on where it adds value and where it doesn't.
- An entrepreneurial mindset — you take initiative, build things from sketches, and operate well in the ambiguity of a platform in active development.
- English mastery is required; any additional language is a real advantage.
- Excellent command of ATS and assessment platforms is a strong plus.
- Industry experience in Banking, Insurance, or Pharma is a plus — these are sectors where Synethos creates outsized value.
- MSc in Psychology or Social Sciences is a plus.
Above all: you're someone who wants to take talent processes and workforce planning to the next level — and who believes that doing so means putting the human more firmly at the center, not less.
What we offer
- A founding role in the development of a platform with a distinctive point of view in a crowded market.
- A team that takes the science of people seriously and treats HR as a discipline worth investing in.
- Real influence on product direction, client engagement, and how Synethos shows up in the market.
- The chance to do the work most HR professionals say they wish they could do — strategic, evidence-based, and built on solid analytical foundations.
