Job Description

Join our team as a Senior People Business Partner, where you will be the strategic partner for our leaders, driving business goals through talent decisions and organizational design. You will lead organizations through change, increase talent density, shape people programs, and raise the bar on the PBP team. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in HR business partnering, experience with C-suite or SVP-level leaders, and a track record of leading change.

  • Be the business and people strategist for leaders, translating business goals into talent decisions and using data to spot attrition risk.
  • Lead organizations through change, owning reorganizations, leadership transitions, and shifting priorities from design through landing.
  • Increase talent density by leading calibration, promotion, and talent review processes, identifying and developing top talent.
  • Fluency with data. You pull your own analysis, find the signal in headcount, attrition, and performance data, and turn it into a recommendation a leader can act on
  • A track record of influencing executive decisions with data and a clear point of view, not just supporting them
  • Strong business acumen. You understand how the business makes money, where the constraints are, and how talent decisions affect outcomes, and you can speak that language with executives
  • Clear, concise, direct communication, and the discipline to prioritize ruthlessly and follow through on every commitment
  • Bachelor’s or advanced degree in Human Resources, Organizational Psychology, or a related field
  • A record of leading change, not just supporting it: org design, workforce planning, and reorganizations through rapid growth or shifting priorities, with outcomes you can point to
  • High agency and ownership. You've run a client group or a major initiative with minimal direction, made decisions with incomplete information, and are energized by owning the outcome end to end
  • Experience with talent processes (calibration, compensation, promotion) and complex employee relations, including investigations, performance management, and terminations
  • Strong judgment. You know when to move fast, when to slow down, and when to bring in partners, and leaders trust your read on sensitive, ambiguous situations
  • 8+ years of HR business partner experience, with at least 3 years partnering directly with C-suite or SVP-level leaders, preferably in a high-tech environment
  • Don’t meet every single requirement? If you’re excited about this role but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with every qualification in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyway. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles
  • Experience partnering with founders or scaling through an IPO
  • Experience supporting engineering, research, or other highly technical organizations
  • Experience supporting international teams, particularly in Germany, Japan, Middle East or Australia
