The Role

As a People Partner at [Employer], you will work with managers and employees across Marketing, G&A, and Products to help teams perform, grow, and navigate everyday people needs.

This is an individual contributor role for someone with solid HR experience, clear communication, and a practical approach to solving problems. You will build trusted relationships, coach managers, and own work from start to finish. You will work independently within your scope, partnering with your manager and People Team colleagues on more complex or sensitive matters.

_______________________________________________________________________

What you’ll do

• Build relationships with managers and employees across your client groups. Understand their priorities, team dynamics, and how you can support them.
• Coach managers on setting expectations, giving actionable feedback, supporting development, and addressing performance concerns promptly and fairly.
• Guide managers and employees through day-to-day and moderately complex employee matters. Gather relevant facts, evaluate options, and recommend practical next steps.
• Recognize when a situation requires broader input. Raise concerns promptly and bring a clear summary, your assessment, and questions to your manager or the appropriate partner.
• Coordinate and deliver core people processes within your client groups, including performance reviews, talent reviews, compensation cycles, promotions, and engagement action planning.
• Use people data and employee feedback to identify team-level patterns, recommend actions, and track follow-through.
• Help managers clarify roles, responsibilities, and team expectations. Support defined parts of workforce planning and organizational changes in partnership with your manager.
• Work with Talent Acquisition, People Ops, Total Rewards, Finance, Legal, and other partners to resolve questions and move shared work forward.
• Support global and distributed teams, working with regional experts to account for local requirements and differences in employee experience.
• Own defined People Team projects or workstreams, managing commitments, communicating progress, and raising blockers early.
• Share knowledge and practical resources with teammates, contribute ideas for improving processes, and actively seek feedback on your own development.

_______________________________________________________________________

What you’ll bring

• Relevant HR experience, typically four or more years, including hands-on experience advising managers as a People Partner, HR Business Partner, or in a similar role.
• Solid working knowledge of employee relations, performance management, talent development, compensation processes, and employee engagement.
• The ability to manage moderately complex work independently, organize competing priorities, and follow through on commitments.
• Sound judgment about what you can resolve within your scope and when to involve your manager or a specialist.
• Clear, thoughtful communication. You can explain sensitive information, ask useful questions, and offer a recommendation supported by facts.
• The ability to build credibility across teams, work through disagreement respectfully, and raise concerns when something needs attention.
• Curiosity about the business and an understanding of how people decisions affect team outcomes.
• Comfort using data to identify patterns and inform practical recommendations.
• Care, discretion, and attention to detail when handling confidential information.
• Experience working with distributed or global teams, or a demonstrated ability to collaborate across locations and time zones.
• Comfort using AI tools to support your work, with independent review of their outputs and sound judgment about handling sensitive information.
• Experience supporting Marketing, Product, or G&A teams is a plus, as is experience in a technology company.
