HR Operations & People Partner

Regulus is an agile defense-tech startup tackling the most complex challenges in counter-drone and uncrewed defense. With hundreds of combat-proven systems deployed by the IDF and global partners, we are now engineering the next generation of C-UxS (Counter-Uncrewed Systems). We leverage advanced electronic warfare and kinetic measures to detect and neutralize hostile threats. If you want to push technological boundaries while safeguarding Israel and our allies, join us at this pivotal stage of our growth.

This is a unique opportunity to join a company at a pivotal growth stage and help shape its products, culture, and future.

We are looking for a strong HR Operations & People Partner to take full ownership of our HR infrastructure while acting as a true partner across the organization. This role combines building and optimizing HR systems and data with leading core people processes such as performance, talent mapping, and retention.

Working closely with the VP HR, this is a hands-on, high-impact role for someone who thrives in fast-paced environments and is excited to build rather than maintain.

In this role, you will be responsible for designing, improving, and executing both HR systems and people processes end-to-end, ensuring scalability, data accuracy, and strong organizational impact.

We’re looking for a plug-and-play profile with strong systems expertise, high ownership, and the ability to quickly understand needs and drive execution from day one.
