  • Work closely with Recruiting and the broader Talent team to execute organizational priorities.
  • Ownership & Execution
  • Own initiatives end-to-end, driving execution with speed and intention.
  • Build scalable processes that support a growing organization.
  • Act as a proactive problem-solver, identifying gaps and building solutions that strengthen our people foundation.

You might be a great fit if you have:
  • 10+ years experience as an HR Business Partner or HR Generalist within high-growth tech environments.

  • Experience using data to influence decisions and shape strategy.
