## Job description

Ilir Sela started Slice with the belief that local pizzerias deserve all of the advantages of major franchises without compromising their independence. Starting with his family's pizzerias, we now empower over tens of thousands of restaurants with the technology, services, and collective power that owners need to better serve their digitally minded customers and build lasting businesses. We're growing and adding more talent to help fulfill this valuable mission. That's where you come in.

The Challenge to Solve

Partner with R&D leaders to build high-performing, inclusive teams by aligning people strategy with technical and business priorities.

## The Role

As a People Business Partner, you'll partner with leaders across Slice's R&D organization, providing strategic guidance and day-to-day support on the people challenges that come with building and scaling high-performing technical teams. Much of our R&D organization is based across the UK, US, Canada and the Balkans, so you'll work closely with leaders across multiple countries and time zones.

You'll coach managers through performance, organizational design, talent planning, employee relations, and change, helping leaders make thoughtful decisions that strengthen team effectiveness and business outcomes.

- Partnering with Engineering, Product, and Design leaders on organizational effectiveness, leadership capability, and team health.
- Coaching managers through performance management, employee relations, feedback, and complex people decisions.
- Supporting organizational change, including team growth, restructures, and leadership transitions.
- Guiding organizational design, workforce planning, succession planning, and talent reviews.
- Partnering cross-functionally to deliver People programs aligned to business priorities.
- Using people data and insights to inform recommendations and improve team effectiveness.
- Helping leaders navigate how AI and evolving ways of working shape teams, roles, and skills.
