Requirements

Experience as a People/HR Business Partner, including direct experience supporting senior (VP+) leaders in a fast-paced, high-growth environment. Experience partnering with Pre-Sales, Customer Success, Account Management, or Support organizations is preferred. Strong strategic thinker with a strong ability to translate business needs into people initiatives and org strategy. Deep expertise in HR fundamentals - performance management, employee relations, workforce planning, compensation, and talent development - with awareness of emerging trends. Strong business acumen with fluency in the metrics that drive a post-sales org - retention, NRR, customer health, and capacity - and curiosity to understand how the business operates. Experience leading org design and restructuring efforts - including sensitive leadership transitions and change communications - with sound judgment on sequencing and stakeholder management. Skilled at influencing senior stakeholders without direct authority, and comfortable holding a position diplomatically even under pushback from executives. Brings structured frameworks to ambiguous or high-stakes decisions (e.g., comp, leveling, org changes) rather than relying on ad hoc judgment calls. Comfortable operating with minimal direction - able to independently structure an approach to loosely-scoped or ambiguous asks from senior leaders. Skilled at analyzing data and translating it into clear, actionable recommendations, including using AI-enabled tools where data isn't readily available. Demonstrated track record of bias for action - rolling up your sleeves and getting things done. Open to using AI to amplify their skills and strengthen their work - demonstrating curiosity, a willingness to learn, and sound judgment in applying AI responsibly to improve efficiency and impact.
