About the Role

We are looking for a Director, HR Business Partner who embodies our culture and core values and can serve as a strategic partner to our Marketing Organization. In this role, you will shape and drive the people strategy for the organization, partnering closely with senior leaders to align talent, organizational design, and leadership capability with business priorities.

You will bring both strategic perspective and operational rigor to how we scale our teams—from advising executives on organizational effectiveness and leadership development to shaping how core talent programs are designed and adopted. You will collaborate closely with People Operations, L&D, and Talent Acquisition to build scalable systems, strengthen leadership capability, and steward organizational change with care and clarity.

Strategic Partner to Leaders: Serve as a trusted advisor to senior leaders, shaping organizational strategy through a people lens. Ground recommendations in business context, org health, and long-term capability needs while helping leaders think in systems rather than symptoms.

Org Design & Ways of Working: Lead complex organizational design efforts that clarify roles, decision rights, and operating rhythms. Partner with leadership to evolve structures, spans/layers, and cross-functional collaboration models that enable the business to scale effectively.

Leadership & Manager Development: Coach senior leaders and managers to strengthen leadership effectiveness, decision-making, and team performance. Partner with L&D to scale leadership development and manager capability across the organization.

Talent & Performance: Drive talent strategy for the organization, including performance calibration, development planning, and succession planning for critical roles. Partner with People Ops to ensure performance and compensation processes are transparent, equitable, and aligned with business outcomes.

Change Leadership: Lead thoughtful change initiatives including reorganizations, strategic shifts, and team evolution. Design pragmatic change plans with clear communication, stakeholder alignment, and strong adoption.

Team Effectiveness & Culture: Diagnose systemic challenges impacting team health or performance and partner with leaders to strengthen psychological safety, accountability, and organizational effectiveness.

Employee Relations: Navigate complex and sensitive employee matters in partnership with Legal and People Ops. Proactively identify organizational risks and coach leaders to address issues early and constructively.

Special Projects: Lead high-impact, cross-functional initiatives that improve how the organization operates—from talent systems to leadership practices.

Learning & Development: Identify capability gaps and partner with L&D to design programs and experiences that build the leadership and functional capabilities needed for the organization’s next stage of growth.

Data-driven Insights: Translate engagement, talent, and organizational data into clear insights and executive-ready narratives that inform decision-making and drive action.

Experience: 12+ years as an HRBP / People Partner, including experience partnering with senior leaders in Marketing, Brand, Creative, or Growth organizations. Demonstrated depth in organizational design, executive coaching, and talent strategy within fast-paced, high-growth, or tech-enabled environments.

Change Leadership & Systems Thinking: Demonstrated ability to connect dots across teams, anticipate second-order impacts, and lead complex organizational change. Experience designing and scaling people programs that drive measurable business impact.

Executive Coaching & Advising: Proven ability to coach and influence senior leaders in dynamic, performance-driven environments—balancing ambitious outcomes with sustainable team health and long-term organizational effectiveness.

Influence & Communication: Strong data fluency and strategic storytelling ability. Exceptional communication and influencing skills with the ability to translate people insights into clear recommendations that drive alignment and action across senior stakeholders.

Nice to have: Formal coaching certification or background; experience supporting Marketing or other creative, consumer-facing organizations at scale; experience leading enterprise-level talent processes such as performance, talent planning, or engagement programs.
