Senior HR Business Partner

Key Responsibilities

• Strategic Business Partnership: Independently partner with leaders to translate business priorities into actionable people plans. Connect People programs to functional goals, surface patterns across your client group, and escalate insights that inform broader org thinking.
• Talent Strategy & Performance: Lead performance management and talent review processes with rigor and follow-through within the org. Coach people managers to set clear expectations, deliver feedback, and take early action on performance — building their confidence to lead with accountability.
• Organizational Design & Effectiveness: Partner with leaders to inform org structure decisions, clarify roles and decision rights, and support team health within your defined scope. Use headcount and workforce data to identify talent gaps and support scalable design.
• Coaching & Manager Development: Build trusted relationships with managers and deliver direct, actionable feedback that shifts behavior and builds capability. Reinforce Headway's cultural principles and managerial expectations through consistent coaching and follow-through.
• Operational Excellence: Own People programs and projects end-to-end within the org, from planning through execution and follow-through. Balance multiple workstreams without losing precision or quality.

Key Requirements

• 5+ years of progressive HRBP or HR adjacent/ generalist experience (e.g., Chief of Staff, Strategy, Consulting), with a track record of supporting senior executives in high-growth or scaling environments.
• Independently partner with business leaders — you don't wait to be told what's needed, and you know when to escalate and when to run with it.
• Are data-driven, using both qualitative and quantitative signals to surface insights and support decisions.
• Build genuine trust with managers through candor, follow-through, and sound judgment.
• Have solid grounding in core HR processes — performance management, org design, talent development — and execute them with rigor.
