About the role

What you’ll do

  • Serve as a trusted thought partner, consultant, and coach to the SVP of Post-Sales and their leaders across Account Management, Customer Success, and Support.
  • Act as the primary point of contact for Director+ leaders across the global Post-Sales organization.
  • Lead headcount planning for the Post-Sales org in partnership with Finance, RevOps, and Recruiting - from business justification through execution.
  • Provide guidance and thought leadership on performance management, change management, employee relations, workforce and talent planning, career development, and manager development.
  • Partner with leaders to foster a high-performance culture, driving initiatives that improve employee performance, engagement, and retention across the post-sales org.
  • Collect and analyze data - attrition, engagement, performance, and customer health trends - to deliver insights and influence business decisions.
  • Assess organizational health and effectiveness on a regular basis, identifying opportunities to improve structure, efficiency, and scalability as the org grows.
  • Drive end-to-end project management and execution of critical People programs - performance reviews, compensation planning, talent reviews, and engagement surveys - for the post-sales client group.
  • Partner cross-functionally with Talent, People Ops, Legal, Finance, and other GTM PBPs to ensure alignment across the broader Revenue organization.
  • Act as a senior member of the PBP team, helping shape and evolve PBP programs, policies, and best practices across the function.

How to be successful in this role

  • 8-10+ years of experience as a People/HR Business Partner, including direct experience supporting senior (VP+) leaders in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.
  • Experience partnering with Pre-Sales, Customer Success, Account Management, or Support organizations strongly preferred.
  • Strategic thinker with a strong ability to translate business needs into people initiatives and org strategy.
  • Deep expertise in HR fundamentals - performance management, employee relations, workforce planning, compensation, and talent development - with awareness of emerging trends.
  • Strong business acumen with fluency in the metrics that drive a post-sales org - retention, NRR, customer health, and capacity - and curiosity to understand how the business operates.
  • Experience leading org design and restructuring efforts - including sensitive leadership transitions and change communications - with sound judgment on sequencing and stakeholder management.
  • Skilled at influencing senior stakeholders without direct authority, and comfortable holding a position diplomatically even under pushback from executives.
  • Brings structured frameworks to ambiguous or high-stakes decisions (e.g., comp, leveling, org changes) rather than relying on ad hoc judgment calls.
  • Comfortable operating with minimal direction - able to independently structure an approach to loosely-scoped or ambiguous asks from senior leaders.
  • Comfort analyzing data and translating it into clear, actionable recommendations, including using AI-enabled tools where data isn't readily available.
  • A demonstrated track record of bias for action - rolling up your sleeves and getting things done.
  • Open to using AI to amplify their skills and strengthen their work - demonstrating curiosity, a willingness to learn, and sound judgment in applying AI responsibly to improve efficiency and impact.
  • Must be authorized to work in the U.S. without the need for current or future employer sponsorship.

What you can expect

  • Industry-competitive salary and equity.
  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage, with 100% of employee-only benefit premiums covered for most medical plans.
