Senior People Business Partner

About the role

Hover is hiring a Senior People Business Partner to serve as a strategic advisor to leaders across our go-to-market organization — Sales, Marketing, Customer Success, and Revenue Operations. This role is critical to ensuring our people strategy evolves alongside the business as we scale. You'll partner closely with senior leaders to shape org design, elevate leadership effectiveness, and embed strong performance and change practices across teams — with real influence and a consistent seat at the table.

Responsibilities

• Act as a strategic advisor to senior leaders across Business Operations, Sales, Marketing, Customer Success, and Revenue Operations — helping them navigate complexity, make high-quality people decisions, and build healthy, high-performing teams.
• Diagnose root causes, solve ambiguous problems, and bring clarity to areas where expectations, roles, or ways of working aren't fully aligned.
• Strengthen leadership capability, improve decision-making, and anticipate the people implications of changes before they surface. This includes coaching managers, addressing performance issues with nuance and rigor, and guiding teams through moments of transition.
• Help leaders create sustainable systems, not one-off fixes.
• Partner with executives on org design, leadership effectiveness, and strategic people decisions.
• Diagnose team and organizational challenges; recommend actionable, systems-level solutions.
• Coach leaders and managers through performance, development, and difficult conversations.
• Lead change management for org, strategy, and operating model transitions.
• Improve cross-functional alignment across Business Operations, Sales, Marketing, Customer Success, and Revenue Operations.

Requirements

• 7+ years in HR, People, or organizational development, including at least 3 years operating as a People Business Partner working directly with VP-level or above leaders.
• Experience partnering with senior leaders across Sales, Marketing, Customer Success, and/or Revenue Operations.
• Proven ability to influence and build trust with complex or challenging stakeholders.
• Experience with org design, performance management, and change initiatives.
• Comfort operating autonomously in ambiguous environments.
• Hands-on use of AI tools to improve how people work — whether that's analysis, documentation, coaching prep, or process design — and a point of view on where they help and where they don't.

Nice-to-haves

• Agency or consulting background.
• Experience in companies under 1,000 employees.
• Exposure to complex, multi-team organizational change.
• Experience in tech-enabled organizations.
