We are seeking a tech-savvy People Business Partner (PBP) for the Engineering
and
Product teams. This role translates the People needs of individual contributors, team leads, and people managers into practical, high-impact solutions that improve team performance, manager effectiveness, and employee experience.

You will be a key partner to the CTO and the President, supporting them to lead high-performing teams through growth, change, and complexity. You will embody ways of working, values, and culture, and you will build scalable People solutions by digitising everything that should not require direct human intervention. Your time should be reserved for the work that benefits most from a human partner: coaching, mentoring, facilitation, sound judgment, and prompting excellent system design.

You will partner closely with People Team (and where needed, external experts) to deliver joined-up outcomes. This is a hands-on role for someone who is passionate about talent acquisition and talent management, and who is comfortable rolling up their sleeves to handle operational work when required. You are accountable for the end-to-end employee journey for the teams you support, and you lead the intersection between the People Team and the high-performing teams you partner with, across both local and global team members (including independent contractors).

What

you will do
1) Strategic business partnering (Engineering+Product)
  • Partner closely with the CTO, President, and functional leaders to diagnose organisational needs and translate them into People plans that drive high performance and engagement.
  • Build strong context across Engineering and Product to proactively anticipate challenges related to structure, growth, capability, and leadership.
  • Provide clear, practical guidance to leaders navigating ambiguity, change, or sensitive people decisions.
2) Talent acquisition + talent management
  • Partner with hiring managers to plan and execute hiring across Engineering and Product, including role definition, interview design, decision quality, and candidate experience.
  • Strengthen talent management across your teams, including capability building, succession thinking, retention risks, internal mobility, and development planning.
3) Manager and team effectiveness (coaching+facilitation)
  • Coach team leads and people managers to build high-performing teams, including feedback quality, role clarity, decision-making, and psychological safety.
  • Facilitate manager and team lead enablement sessions (workshops, training cohorts, working sessions) that improve leadership capability and consistency across Engineering and Product.
  • Create enablement assets that scale (guides, templates, playbooks, short modules, AI-assisted nudges), so training does not rely on live delivery every time.
4) Performance and progression
  • Drive effective high performance practices within Engineering and Product, supporting calibration, outcomes, and high-quality feedback.
  • Partner with leaders to define expectations and standards that are fair, consistent, and aligned to COMPANY's culture and ways of working.
  • Enable strong career conversations by helping leaders interpret competency frameworks and apply them in practice.
5) Employee experience and lifecycle ownership (end-to-end)
  • Own the end-to-end employee journey for the Engineering and Product teams you support, ensuring an excellent employee and manager experience across key moments that matter.
  • Partner with People Team and other internal/external stakeholders to ensure processes are implemented well, with strong follow-through and clear ownership.
  • Identify friction points and redesign processes to be simpler, clearer, and easier to self-serve.
6) Partner with People and…
