We are the world leading biotech company in the development of enzymes for toxicology. What is that? Something the FBI and the biggest labs in the world use for drug testing. Our next steps as a company are to enter the Proteomics and Genetics market.Personally, I'm in charge of building the function from the ground up, and of making it scalable for the future success of the company worldwide. My goal (and my team's) is to build the best place to work for our people. That is, first and foremost to bring the best possible talent, develop it and make it thrive within our organization; but also understanding what moves and how to encourage the best out of each one of us. My role is both to build the foundations of the department, and to strategize for the long term. I'm also the Board's Secretary.'People' at Kura is not a typical HR function. Even though I oversee talent attraction, employee experience, benefits, policies, salary bands, organizational structure, learning and development, OKRs, and career development, just to name a few; most of my team is dedicated to stay in close contact with every person in the team on a daily basis in order to deliver on our goal.Last but surely not least, the People team leads Kura's Give Back processes through Fundación Liquen. This is a core initiative that's was born with the company, where we donate 2% of our net income to social initiatives applied -and voted- by members of the team, in verticals such as Education, Childhood, Environment and Sustainability.We're on our way of becoming a B Corp by 2021.(Kura data: 60% women, 10% non-Spanish speakers, with a team that grew 2x on 2020) Show less
