## 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
