AMP Robotics is a rapidly growing startup on a mission to revolutionize the way we recycle. Positioned at the intersection of AI, robotics, and recycling, our solution matches deep learning and computer vision with robots that rapidly sort materials inside recycling facilities. We have already deployed our technology across the United States to dramatically reduce costs and increase the efficiency of recycling operations.

Our dedicated team is located just outside Denver in Louisville, Colorado, with views of Boulder’s flatirons and the Rocky Mountains. With backing from top tier investors including Sequoia and recognition as a “Rising Star Company of the Year” in the 2020 Global Cleantech 100, we’re looking for exceptional talent to support our mission.

AMP Robotics is looking for an experienced leader to join our team and help define, manage, develop and grow our People Operations practices. The Head of People Operations will work with senior leadership and be based in Louisville, CO. The Head of People Ops will work closely with our leadership team to best understand the company’s needs and to encourage and maintain AMP Robotics’s company culture. As the Head of People Ops, you’ll have the unique opportunity to influence and build our practices.

The Head of People Operations will provide a critical partnership with the leadership team to scale our values and culture, create and execute growth strategies, and support the employee’s needs. This individual will represent everyone within the company, develop strategy, drive execution, and maintain a passionate culture within a fast-growing startup, with a key focus on retention and team development. This role has large opportunities for risk-taking and innovation for self-directed individuals passionate about helping others succeed.
