About the role

What they're looking for

  • Significant HRBP or People leadership experience in a high-growth, high-accountability startup environment—ideally in technology, AI, data, or another fast-moving, complex business
  • A demonstrated record of building and scaling people programs, including performance management, manager enablement, employee engagement, compensation, leveling, and employee lifecycle operations
  • Strong business judgment and the ability to connect people work directly to company priorities, team effectiveness, and business outcomes
  • Comfort operating independently in an ambiguous environment, you know how to create structure quickly without overengineering
  • Proven ability to earn credibility with executives, managers, and individual contributors
  • A direct, thoughtful communication style and the confidence to challenge leaders, provide difficult feedback, and navigate conflict with care
