About the role
This is a unique opportunity to build the People Business Partner function from the ground up at a high-growth fintech company. As Savvy scales, our managers need a trusted advisor who can shape how we make talent decisions, design organizations, and develop stronger people managers.
What they're looking for
- Experience as an HR/People Business Partner supporting business leaders and managers, ideally at a fast-growing startup
- Strong business and organizational judgment, able to distinguish a people problem from a performance, org design, or operating problem, and make sound calls with incomplete information
- A track record of building credibility with leaders quickly, including comfort delivering difficult feedback and influencing decisions without relying on authority
- A high talent bar and comfort making clear calls on performance, potential, succession, and organizational needs, balancing empathy with accountability
- A bias toward proactively identifying issues and driving them to resolution rather than just administering process
- Comfort operating in a fast-moving, ambiguous environment, moving fluidly between strategic and tactical work
More about this role
Wealth management is a $545 billion industry that still runs on manual work. 75% of advisors offer no digital communication beyond email, and most still build financial plans by hand in Excel. Savvy is reinventing what it looks like to be a financial advisor. Founder Ritik Malhotra saw the fragmentation firsthand after seeking out his own advisor, and started Savvy to give independent advisors a modern, AI-native home.
Savvy is a registered investment advisor (RIA), and we partner with experienced financial advisors who want to grow without running the back office themselves. Advisors bring their book and join Savvy, running under their own brand (or ours), and Savvy earns a percentage of the assets they manage. In return, they get a true business-in-a-box: a proprietary tech platform and client portal, an in-house marketing team that helps them grow, a world-class investment management team, and a dedicated client services team that runs day-to-day operations and support. Advisors at Savvy service up to 50% more households and save 19 hours a week.
