HR Business Partner - Where People Strategy Meets Purpose

We're an AI-forward and mission driven organization where human connection guides everything we do. If you're tired of HR roles that feel more like paperwork than partnership, this one's for you.

Plot Twist: We Don't Actually Call It HR! Your official title? People Success Business Partner. Because let's be honest - we're not just managing human resources, we're unlocking human potential. Same strategic work, better mindset.

The Reality Check Most HR roles have you pushing papers and checking compliance boxes. This one? You'll be architecting culture, solving complex people puzzles, and partnering with leaders who actually listen. You'll work with distributed teams who've mastered meaningful collaboration while working remotely.

What You'll Actually Do:

  • Build people strategies that matter.
  • Create a workplace where kindness, accountability, collaboration, innovation, and grit are at the center of how we work and lead.
  • Guide leaders through real challenges.
  • Partner on workforce planning, career paths, and succession planning to ensure future readiness.
  • Promote a positive, inclusive workplace, managing employee relations with fairness and discretion.
  • Ensure adherence to federal and state employment laws (EEO, ADA, FMLA, FLSA, OSHA, NLRA, Title VII, etc.) as well as state-specific regulations. Partner with Legal and Compliance teams to proactively mitigate risks and maintain up-to-date policies and procedures.
  • Use data to tell stories that drive decisions.
  • Be the trusted advisor leaders come to when they need straight answers about their toughest people challenges. Think strategic counsel meets hands-on problem-solving.

What You Bring:

  • You see the big picture, understand the business, and connect people initiatives to results.
  • You build trust, inspire confidence, and influence outcomes without needing a title.
  • You’re skilled at guiding people through organizational shifts and new ways of working.
  • You know how to close skill gaps, develop pipelines, and help people grow their careers.
  • You stay fluent in employment law and apply it in practical, consistent ways.
  • You weave our values into how people lead, collaborate, and grow.
  • You’re comfortable turning data into clear, actionable stories.
  • You thrive in fast-moving, ever-changing environments.

The Non-Negotiables:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Human Resources, Business, Psychology, or related field (Master’s or HR certifications a plus).
  • 5-8 years of progressive HR experience where you've influenced outcomes
  • Fluency with AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, etc) - this isn't optional!
  • Deep knowledge of federal and state employment law that goes beyond surface-level compliance
  • Ability to conduct investigations and resolve employee relations issues in alignment with legal standards.
  • Proven success influencing leaders and driving people initiatives at scale
  • Experience working effectively with distributed teams

The Would-Be-Nice-to-Haves:

  • Experience with Rippling and Trainual platforms
  • Track record of guiding teams through meaningful organizational change
  • Analytics skills that turn people data into compelling narratives
