Use data to uncover insights, identify trends, and inform people decisions
Support employee growth paths and help shape L&D initiatives
Work closely with Recruiting and the broader Talent team to execute organizational priorities
Ownership & Execution
Own initiatives end-to-end, driving execution with speed and intention
Build scalable processes that support a growing organization
Act as a proactive problem-solver, identifying gaps and building solutions that strengthen our people foundation
You might be a great fit if you have:
10+ years experience as an HR Business Partner or HR Generalist within high-growth tech environments
Strong business acumen — you understand how people programs drive results
A track record of advising leaders and navigating complex situations with sound judgment
Deep expertise in one or more HR domains (compensation, L&D, ER, benefits administration, etc.)
Experience using data to influence decisions and shape strategy
Excellent communication skills and the ability to influence at all levels
