Hi there!
Join us as a People Business Partner, where you'll have the opportunity to solve meaningful problems, support leaders in navigating team decisions, and help shape how we operate as a PBP/ER team. This role is perfect for someone with 5+ years of experience in HRBP or PBP roles, and who’s eager to leverage AI and automation to amplify the PBP/ER team’s impact. You'll bring an experimental mindset and hands-on experience with AI tools, enhancing our processes and boosting team efficiency. Your ability to bring structure to complexity—connecting insights to practical, scalable processes—will be key as we align our team’s work with broader business priorities.
In this role, you’ll be a strategic people business partner to leaders in our Build organization, supporting org design, coaching, team effectiveness, and performance. You’ll also play a key role in helping the PBP/ER team work smarter—using tools like Zapier and AI-enabled systems to test and improve how we operate. If you’re someone who’s comfortable in a fast-changing environment, values autonomy and ownership, and enjoys building systems as much as building relationships—this role could be a great fit.
