People Business Partner

About the role

We're looking for a People Business Partner in Boston to join our People team and help shape how teams scale, evolve, and perform through rapid growth and transformation.

Responsibilities

• Serve as a trusted advisor to leaders in your portfolio, providing thought partnership on team dynamics, leadership effectiveness, and organizational health.
• Translate business strategy into people implications, partnering with leaders to design plans that support scale, clarity, and performance.
• Partner with Finance and Talent Acquisition to drive clarity, accountability, and accuracy in headcount planning.
• Identify friction points within supported organizations and implement actionable, measurable improvements.
• Coach managers at varying levels, building capability in feedback, communication, decision-making, and team leadership.
• Support end-to-end onboarding by driving process improvements, partnering with people leaders to accelerate new hire integration, and ensuring a consistent, values-aligned experience.
• Champion a vibrant, inclusive in-office culture by contributing to office experience and supporting monthly team events.
• Build and execute clear, inclusive change management plans that support communication, risk mitigation, and leader alignment.
• Collaborate across time zones to support hybrid and remote teams, ensuring equitable People support and strong cross-border team dynamics.
• Be a visible and trusted partner in the Boston office.
• Drive adoption and quality execution of core People programs including performance cycles, career development, compensation planning, internal mobility, talent reviews, and engagement initiatives.
• Collaborate with People team members and Legal to ensure equitable, compliant processes that support scalable growth.
• Deliver insights and recommendations using data from BambooHR, Culture Amp, and other people systems.
• Operate in an AI-augmented HRBP model: use automated briefing workflows, engagement data synthesis, and AI-generated cycle prep to arrive at every leader conversation ready to advise, not just report.
• Build and iterate on AI-assisted workflows that reduce manual preparation time across performance, compensation, and engagement cycles.
• Use generative AI tools to draft, synthesize, and improve People program materials including communications, role profiles, and manager guides, with your judgment applied to every output before it goes anywhere.
• Contribute to the People team's AI fluency by sharing what works, flagging what doesn't, and helping establish scalable practices the whole team can adopt.

Qualifications

• 3-5 years of progressive experience in People or HR roles, including at least 2 years partnering directly with business leaders in a high-growth or evolving environment.
• Proven ability to coach managers and support teams through organizational change with clarity and empathy.
• Strong business acumen and comfort using data to inform decisions and surface actionable insights.
• Solid execution of core HR programs including performance cycles, engagement surveys, and compensation planning.
• Hands-on experience using generative AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or similar) in day-to-day HR work, not just experimentation, but actual workflow integration.
• Comfort working in an automated, systems-forward environment where you are expected to build and improve workflows, not just consume them.
• Working knowledge of US and Canadian employment law and HR practices, with the ability to apply guidance across states, provinces, and situations.
• High comfort with tools including BambooHR, Culture Amp, Greenhouse, Notion, and Google Suite.
• Exceptional communication and relationship-building skills across all levels of leadership.
• Formal HR education or designation (SHRM-CP or equivalent) is a plus, though equivalent experience is equally valued.
• Experience supporting distributed teams across time zones is a bonus.
