Requirements

What you’ll need

8+ years of progressive HR/People experience, with at least 4 years in a true Business Partner capacity
Significant experience partnering with GTM, Sales, or revenue-focused organizations inside a SaaS or recurring-revenue business - you understand how GTM teams are built, how they’re measured, and what makes them perform
A background that includes at least one deep tech, engineering-first company - think developer tooling, observability, infrastructure, or adjacent spaces where the product is highly technical, a builder mentality runs through everything the company does, and technical craft and product quality set the standard for how the whole company operates. You know what it feels like to do People work in that environment, and you know how to build people practices that resonate there without compromising what makes those cultures special
Comfort holding a broad remit - you can context-switch between a revenue org conversation and a corporate function conversation without losing depth in either
Track record running complex employee relations matters, including multi-witness investigations, performance interventions on senior individuals, and multi-state separations
Strong people analytics instincts - comfort pulling and interpreting attrition, attainment, ramp, engagement, and organizational data, and translating it into recommendations leaders can act on
Multi-state US employment law fluency at a senior PBP level
Experience working in a remote-first or distributed company, with a track record of owning the end-to-end People Business Partner strategy for a function or business unit — not just executing programs, but shaping how people practices are designed, prioritized, and measured across the org
