About the Role

You will own the people agenda for multiple departments and co-own at least one company-wide initiative. That means you are both the trusted partner to your business leaders and a builder of how Workwize does People work at scale. You sit in leadership conversations, you shape decisions on org design and workforce planning, and you drive the programs that make teams better.
The reason this role exists is that our leaders are making more people decisions, faster, with higher stakes. They need a partner who can keep up, someone who sees problems before they escalate, brings structure to messy situations, and has the courage to push back when a decision is heading in the wrong direction.

If your current HRBP role is mostly reactive, mostly admin, or mostly waiting for someone else to decide what gets built, this will feel very different. If you have been looking for a place where you get to build the practice, own outcomes, and work at the pace of a scaling business, keep reading.

Responsibilities

Partner directly with department heads on organization design, workforce planning, change management, and employee engagement
Coach managers so they actually get better at leading people, not just check a box
Own employee relations from medium-complexity cases through sensitive exits and compliance matters
Lead company-wide People initiatives (performance cycles, engagement programs, onboarding redesigns) and make them land in your departments, not just launch
Work with Talent Acquisition on hiring strategy, leveling, and quality for every role in your portfolio. TA runs sourcing, screening, and closing. You make sure the right roles get opened at the right level and the bar stays high
Partner with People Ops on lifecycle execution. They build systems and processes. You drive adoption and feed back what needs to change
Turn people data into decisions: use attrition trends, engagement signals, and performance patterns to diagnose problems and bring leaders clear recommendations they can act on
Act as the feedback loop between the business and the rest of the People function

What Success Looks Like

First 90 days:

You are the trusted people partner for every leader in your portfolio. They come to you first, not as an afterthought
You have independently identified and resolved at least 3 real people problems that nobody asked you to find. Leaders can name what changed
You have a running operating rhythm with your departments, TA, and People Ops that drives weekly decisions on hires, cases, and priorities
You own a structured view of your portfolio: every open role, every at-risk employee, every active case, with a clear next step for each
You have taken ownership of your first company-wide People initiative and have a delivery plan in motion

First year:

Your departments run structured performance and calibration cycles that produce real outcomes, not paperwork
Hiring for your portfolio is planned, on track, and aligned with business priorities. Leaders no longer escalate hiring frustrations because the process works
You have delivered at least one company-wide People initiative end to end, from design through adoption, with measurable impact
You have coached at least two managers through a difficult people situation where the outcome was better because of your involvement
The teams you support are measurably healthier: lower regretted attrition, stronger engagement, better manager effectiveness

Required Skills & Qualifications

Proven track record as an HRBP supporting multiple departments simultaneously in a fast-scaling tech or SaaS environment
Demonstrated experience coaching managers with measurable impact on how they lead, not just how they fill in forms
You have owned employee relations cases end to end, including sensitive exits and compliance matters, with defensible outcomes
Track record of using people data to change business decisions, not just report on them
You have led company-wide People programs (performance, engagement, onboarding) and delivered adoption across multiple teams
Proven ability to manage competing priorities across senior stakeholders at pace, without losing structure
You push back on leaders when a people decision is heading in the wrong direction, and you can describe what happened next

This Role Is Not For You If

You prefer a well-defined, stable HR environment where the processes are set
You are looking for a pure advisory role where someone else implements
You need detailed instructions before you can move. Here, you will often need to figure out the right approach and then go execute it
You find it uncomfortable to push back on senior leaders when you believe they are making a mistake
