## Job Description

## 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.

## Compensation & Benefits

- We offer competitive compensation that includes base salary, meaningful equity, and benefits such as health and dental coverage, flexible vacation, a 401(k) plan, and life insurance. Actual compensation will vary based on role, level, and location.
- Annual salary range: $160,000 - $215,000
