From Versa Networks's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
At Versa Networks, we're revolutionizing the way businesses connect, secure, and optimize their networks. Our mission is to secure anywhere, anytime access to anything. As a leader in Secure SD-WAN, SSE (Secure Service Edge), SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) and Next-generation Managed Services, we are empowering organizations across the globe to transform their IT infrastructure for the modern cloud era.
Our innovative products enable enterprises to deliver a seamless, scalable, and secure digital experience, no matter where their users, devices, or applications are located. Founded by industry veterans and backed by premier venture capital firms, Versa is a market leader driving innovation and growth as it positions itself for a future IPO.
We believe in fostering a culture of innovation, collaboration, and customer success. Our team is comprised of passionate, forward-thinking professionals dedicated to driving the future of networking technology. We encourage creativity, offer opportunities for growth, and provide a dynamic environment where our people can thrive and make an impact.
At Versa Networks, we don’t just build products – we build relationships, elevate businesses, and shape the digital future. Join us and be part of a fast-paced, cutting-edge company that's making a real difference in how the world connects and communicates.
Versa Networks is seeking a VP of People to lead and scale our global HR function at a pivotal moment in the company's growth. With nearly 900 employees worldwide and a clear path toward IPO, we need a seasoned people leader who has done this before — someone who has built the HR infrastructure, org design, and people programs that a high-growth technology company needs to succeed at scale.
Reporting directly to the CEO, you will own the full people strategy for Versa. You will inherit a small but effective People team which has built a strong foundation. Your mandate will be to build on that foundation— implementing an HRIS, establishing job architecture and career frameworks, continuing to grow the HR team, and positioning Versa’s people function for the demands of an eventually public company.
This is a high-impact, highly visible role for a leader who is equally at home rolling up their sleeves to solve a complex employee relations matter.
Compensation
Design and implement a comprehensive job architecture and leveling framework to support career clarity, internal equity, and compensation consistency globally.
Own compensation benchmarking and total rewards strategy; ensure Versa remains competitive across the markets where we hire.
Oversee benefits strategy across U.S. and international markets, including equity administration and employee education on total compensation.
Partner with Finance on compensation modeling and annual budget planning.
Talent & Performance
Partner with the Sr. Director of TA & People Operations to ensure a high-quality, scalable talent acquisition function that supports the business.
Design and drive a performance management framework that is practical, consistent, and fosters a culture of continuous feedback and accountability.
Build manager effectiveness and leadership development programs that strengthen Versa’s bench.
Establish career development pathways that drive retention and support internal mobility.
Compliance & Employee Relations
Ensure compliance with federal, state, and local employment law across all U.S. jurisdictions; partner with local counsel and PEO/EOR providers for international locations.
Provide strategic oversight on employee relations matters — supporting the team on day-to-day issues and engaging directly on complex or sensitive cases.
Maintain executive oversight of separation processes and global termination practices, partnering with legal as needed.
Lead the company’s readiness for public company HR compliance obligations.
Culture & Employee Experience
Champion Versa’s culture and values across a distributed, global workforce.
Build an employee listening strategy — surveys, focus groups, stay interviews — and translate insights into meaningful, visible action.
Partner with leadership on change management as the company grows and approaches IPO.
The pay range for this position at commencement of employment in California, Washington, or New York City is expected in the range of $300,000 to $380,000. A candidate’s specific pay within this range will depend on a variety of factors, including job-related skills, training, location, experience, relevant education, certifications, and other business and organizational needs.
