People Partner

Responsibilities

• Business-First Partnership: Embed deeply with Engineering, Product, GTM, and Ops to understand their roadmaps. You drive business outcomes—velocity, quality, and retention—through intentional people strategies rather than standard HR playbooks.
• Proactive Organizational Architecture: Act as an early warning system. Use data and organizational pulse to anticipate burnout or friction points. Partner with leaders to architect high-performance team structures, headcount forecasting, and foundational builds.
• AI-First Operations: Ruthlessly automate the routine. Leverage AI tools and modern tech stacks to streamline people processes, ensuring your time is spent on high-leverage coaching and strategy rather than manual administration.
• Strategic Coaching & Influence: Serve as a truth-teller to leaders, from first-time managers to industry veterans. Provide high-signal coaching on performance, leadership, and team dynamics, pushing back when necessary to maintain our high bar.
• Data-Driven Insights: Own the People Dashboard for your business units. Build clear, concise one-pagers based on metrics—from attrition trends to comp parity—to influence leadership decisions.
• Program Implementation & Stewardship: Tailor the rollout of core programs (compensation cycles, leveling, performance frameworks) to the specific needs of your units. Manage sensitive employee relations with empathy, legal rigor, and a focus on excellence.
• XFN Collaboration: Work seamlessly across the People team, flexing between building new programs and partnering with the hiring machine to ensure united solutions for the business.

Requirements

• Experience: 8+ years as an HRBP or People Partner in a high-growth, fast-paced tech environment.
• Business & AI Fluency: Technical and AI-savvy. You speak the language of engineers and researchers and are an early adopter of AI tools to up-level your own productivity.
• Strategic Influence: A truth-teller with the confidence to push back on senior leaders and the EQ to do it effectively.
• Data-Driven: You don't rely just on gut feel. You use data to tell stories, identify trends, and back up your recommendations.
• Precision Communication: A master of high-stakes communication. You can draft a Slack message, a 1-pager, or a board slide that is clear, concise, and persuasive.
• Resilient Hustle: You thrive in the grey of a startup and manage multiple high-priority work streams without losing focus. You identify organizational gaps and build solutions without waiting for a ticket.
