HR Business Partner

About the role

We’re looking for a highly capable HR Business Partner—a builder at heart, a people person by nature, collaborative in approach, and execution-focused in everything—to partner closely with managers and leaders across the organization, particularly within Production and manufacturing teams, to help scale our people practices thoughtfully and effectively. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a high-growth environment and enjoys balancing strategic partnership with hands-on execution.

You will work directly with leaders to drive performance, elevate teams, navigate employee relations matters, support organizational changes, and help build scalable People programs and processes that enable Neros to grow responsibly and quickly. You’ll also be part of a People team that operates as one team, with one mission: to be the best People team possible, working together to drive excellence across the organization.

Responsibilities

• Partner closely with managers and leaders to provide practical, business-minded guidance on performance management, team effectiveness, employee development, and organizational design.
• Coach managers through leadership topics, employee relations matters, feedback conversations, performance improvement plans, and terminations with sound judgment and empathy.
• Help leaders navigate promotions, leveling, compensation conversations, and team planning.
• Partner on organizational design and change management initiatives, including communication strategies.
• Refine roles and responsibilities with managers to build the structure needed to set teams up for success.
• Support organizational changes including restructures and role changes.
• Elevate managers and employees through ongoing coaching, timely feedback, and development opportunities.
• Ensure People practices scale effectively as the business grows; participate in the building and scaling phase.
• Build, drive, and execute core People programs, trainings, and policy rollouts.
• Create and support clear communications, timelines, and documentation to ensure smooth program execution.
• Support and lead employee relations matters and investigations with fairness, consistency, and strong documentation.
• Ensure compliance with applicable federal, state, and local employment laws and regulations.
• Partner with Legal and leadership on sensitive or complex employee matters when needed.

Requirements

• 4+ years of experience in an HRBP or People Partner role supporting Production teams, manufacturing, supply chain, and hardware.
• Creativity and a builder mindset—you create programs and solutions that are thoughtful, innovative, and not “copy-paste.”
• A genuine passion for people; you care deeply about coaching, developing, and supporting others.
• Highly collaborative and cross-functional; you build strong partnerships across People Ops, Recruiting, Finance, Payroll, Legal, and business leaders to drive outcomes.
• Strong communicator with the ability to influence and align stakeholders across functions and levels.
• Comfortable navigating ambiguity and working across teams to create scalable, practical solutions.
• Experience advising managers in fast-paced, high-growth, startup environments.
• Deep understanding of employee relations, performance management, and employment law compliance.
• Proven ability to handle sensitive and complex people matters with sound judgment and discretion.
• Strong project and program management skills, with the ability to drive multiple initiatives simultaneously.
• Comfortable rolling up your sleeves and operating both strategically and tactically—no task is too small.
• High attention to detail, strong documentation and communication skills, and a process-oriented mindset.
