Senior People Partner

Superhuman offers a dynamic hybrid model. Candidates in this role can be based remotely, with a preference for those who can collaborate in person 2 times a week in our San Francisco Bay Area hub. This hybrid approach fosters trust, innovation, and a strong team culture while allowing flexibility for focus time. You may be expected to travel to meet in person during your team’s scheduled collaboration weeks, as determined by business needs.

The Opportunity

As a Senior People Partner, you will be embedded within our Engineering, Product, Design, and Marketing teams across an entire business unit, working closely with leaders to drive org health, talent strategy, and people programs. This is a unique time for Superhuman, as we integrate multiple companies (Grammarly, Coda, Superhuman Mail, Rows, GPTZero) into a single AI productivity platform while building new products and plans for further expansion. People Partners at Superhuman operate at the intersection of business units and centralized functions, acting as strategic partners rather than HR administrators.

We’re looking for a people partner who will own relationships, context, and judgment to proactively push the business forward. You’ll navigate complex situations with speed and care, operating effectively at all altitudes—from strategic partnership to hands-on execution—and building foundational systems that scale across the business.

Responsibilities

• Partner closely with C-suite executives to drive execution and people strategy for their organizations.
• Build a deep understanding of the business and strong relationships at every level (from individual contributors to executives) to coach effectively through org design, performance, change management, headcount management, and other people situations.
• Drive talent strategy to build high-performing teams, owning talent reviews, calibrations, and performance management end-to-end with a high and consistent bar.
• Collaborate with and advise across the People team (L&D, Compensation, Ops, Recruiting) to build and/or run programs or projects (e.g., leveling, equity programs).
• Partner with leaders, finance, and recruiting to translate business priorities into the right team structures and people investments (e.g., headcount planning, hiring processes).

Qualifications

• 5+ years of people partner experience, ideally at scaling companies where you’ve been involved in building teams or processes.
• Demonstrated ability to build high-trust relationships quickly across all organizational levels, from individual contributors to senior leaders.
• Experience supporting Engineering, Product, Design, and/or Marketing orgs is preferred.
• Strong judgment in navigating complex, sensitive employee situations with speed, structure, and genuine care.
• Experience partnering with other People teams (e.g., Finance, Recruiting) to build solutions, not just execute processes.
• Strong business acumen—ability to connect people strategy to business outcomes and engage credibly with senior leaders.
• Experience owning talent calibrations, leveling exercises, and performance management end-to-end.
• Ability to work independently with minimal guidance, operating proactively in fast-paced, ambiguous environments.

Nice to Have

• Prior exposure to compensation review processes and pay equity analysis.
• Experience in a compound startup, multi-product company, or post-acquisition environments.

Benefits

• Excellent health care (medical, dental, vision, mental health, and fertility benefits).
• Disability and life insurance options.
• 401(k) and RRSP matching.
• Paid parental leave.
• 20 days of paid time off per year, 12 paid holidays, two floating holidays, and flexible sick time.
• Generous stipends for caregiving, pet care, wellness, home office, and more.
• Annual professional development budget and opportunities.

Pay

Superhuman takes a market-based approach to compensation, with base pay varying by location. U.S. locations are categorized into two compensation zones based on proximity to hub locations. The expected salary range for this position is $167K - $255K.
