Responsibilities
Partner with and coach people managers up to Sr Manager on team health, performance, development, and day-to-day people decisions — earning credibility and influencing sound outcomes.
Bring business context to your partnership: understand your client group's operational and financial goals, and align People programs and processes to them.
Run the core people cycles end to end — performance reviews, calibration prep, comp cycle, and org-health insights — coaching managers through each.
Own employee relations from IC through Sr Manager: handle grievances and conflict with empathy and fairness, navigate difficult topics, and escalate complex or senior-level matters to PBP leadership.
Consult with managers on team-level structure and effectiveness, and partner with the Sr PBP on larger org changes.
Interpret org-health data to find root causes, anticipate risks, and give managers clear, actionable insight.
Execute org and change initiatives independently as needed, and in partnership with PBP Leaders, using data and context to keep transitions moving.
Translate policy and compliance into everyday practice, escalating higher-risk matters appropriately.
Manage the tactical workload end to end — HiBob workforce planning and reqs, headcount reconciliation, JD and Greenhouse support, on/offboarding, transitions, and termination prep — and provide backup coverage for a paired team so no group goes dark.
Communicate clearly and build trust across teams, coaching managers on how to communicate through change.
