## About the Role

We're looking for a strategic HR Business Partner to partner with our Engineering, Research, Product Strategy, and Technical Operations organizations.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in fast-paced technology environments and enjoys partnering with leaders to solve complex technical problems.

## What You'll Do

Strategic Business Partnership

- Design and build new people programs, policies, and frameworks from the ground up - not just administer existing ones.

- Build trusted relationships with executives and people managers to influence organizational health and business outcomes.
- Translate business priorities into thoughtful people strategies that support rapid innovation and growth.
- Coach leaders through organizational change, team effectiveness, leadership development, and difficult people decisions.
- Use people data and organizational insights to influence workforce planning, hiring strategies, retention, and engagement.

Organizational Design & Talent Strategy

- Partner with leadership on organizational design, team structures, and succession planning.
- Support workforce planning across engineering and research functions, ensuring teams are positioned to scale effectively.
- Advise leaders on career frameworks, internal mobility, and growth opportunities for highly specialized technical talent.
- Identify organizational risks and proactively recommend solutions that improve team effectiveness.

Leadership Coaching & Performance

- Coach managers through performance management, employee development, feedback, and complex employee relations matters.
- Guide leaders through performance improvement plans, promotions, and talent calibration.
- Design, evolve, and run the semiannual performance review process, ensuring fairness and consistency across the company.
- Help managers build inclusive, high-performing teams through effective coaching and leadership practices.

Employee Experience

- Partner with leaders to strengthen employee engagement, retention, and team culture.
- Support onboarding strategies that accelerate productivity for engineers and researchers.
- Champion initiatives that improve collaboration across globally distributed technical teams.
- Act as a trusted resource for employees navigating career growth, organizational change, and workplace concerns.

Talent & Compensation

- Partner with Recruiting to align hiring strategies with business priorities.
- Own compensation planning, leveling discussions, and promotion processes.
- Provide market-informed guidance on attracting and retaining highly competitive AI and engineering talent.
- Collaborate on talent reviews and succession planning for key technical roles.

HR Operations & Compliance

- Ensure people practices align with employment laws and company policies across multiple regions.
- Partner with Legal and the broader People team to manage employee relations matters with sound judgment and consistency.
- Drive scalable people processes that balance operational excellence with an outstanding employee experience.

## What We're Looking For

- Hands-on experience serving as a Rippling administrator, including configuring core modules, building and optimizing workflows, troubleshooting system issues, and leveraging automation to create scalable people processes.
- 5+ years of progressive HR Business Partner experience supporting technical organizations.
- Experience leveraging AI tools to improve HR workflows, automate administrative work, generate insights, and build more scalable people programs.
- Experience partnering with Engineering, AI/ML, Research, Infrastructure, Product, or other highly technical teams.
- Proven ability to coach senior leaders and influence decision-making through trusted relationships.
- Strong experience with organizational design, workforce planning, performance management, and leadership coaching.
- Experience supporting globally distributed teams across multiple regions.
- Excellent employee relations judgment and conflict resolution skills.
- Strong analytical skills with the ability to translate people data into actionable insights and people programs/initiatives
- Comfortable navigating ambiguity and rapidly changing priorities in high-growth environments.
- Experience working in startup or scale-up technology companies is preferred.
- Familiarity with AI, machine learning, or developer organizations is highly desirable.
