The Revi Mission 🚀

Brick-and-mortar retail isn’t dying — it’s transforming. As the digital and physical worlds merge into one unified purchasing layer, Revi is building the operating system that powers the modern in-store consumer experience. Supported by top Silicon Valley investors, we’re creating a future where every physical transaction becomes personalized, intelligent, and connected.

Revi is scaling fast, building AI-driven products, and rapidly expanding our teams. The People function is central to building the clarity, accountability, and high-performance culture required for our next stage of growth.

Why This Role Matters 🙌

Revi is entering a new growth phase — one that requires elevated performance expectations, structured systems, and a deeply embedded AI-first mindset. We are building world-class processes across hiring, onboarding, performance management, and culture.

This is a builder role — perfect for someone who thrives in fast-paced environments, understands the complexity of early-stage scaling, and wants to leave a lasting imprint on Revi’s culture and operating system.
