True Anomaly is a defense and aerospace company building autonomous spacecraft, advanced payloads, mission software, and space-based interceptors to secure the space environment and counter threats. The company is seeking a People Business Partner to serve as a strategic HR advisor to corporate function leaders across Finance, Legal, Business Development, and Mission Readiness.
This is a strategic partnership role—not a generalist HR position—designed for an experienced People professional who can build credibility quickly with operationally focused leaders, manage competing priorities across multiple lean functions, and operate with autonomy in a high-growth environment being built from the ground up. You will report to the Director, People Business Partners.
Key Responsibilities:
Strategic Partnership: Serve as the dedicated People Business Partner for corporate function leaders, providing counsel on organizational design, talent planning, leadership development, and workforce strategy. Build trusted relationships through proactive consultation and deep understanding of the unique challenges facing enabling functions—balancing compliance rigor with speed, scaling lean teams, and developing career paths for non-technical roles without established ladders.
Talent & Performance: Guide managers on performance management, succession planning, and career development, with particular focus on building professional development pathways for non-technical roles. Drive execution of people programs including performance cycles, talent reviews, and engagement initiatives, feeding insights back into program design.
Employee Relations: Own low-to-moderate complexity employee relations cases independently, including conducting investigations and advising managers on consistent, values-aligned resolution. Escalate high-stakes or legally sensitive matters to the Director, People Business Partners.
Compensation & People Data: Partner with the Compensation Manager on compensation cycles for corporate teams, including market benchmarking and data analysis for professional roles. Analyze engagement, attrition, and performance data across your client groups to surface patterns, flag risks early, and contribute cross-functional themes to quarterly executive readouts.
Organizational Capability: Partner with the Manager, People Business Partners to assess capability gaps, prioritize learning needs across lean teams, and identify cross-functional development opportunities. Support change initiatives—restructures, workforce planning, scaling efforts—ensuring alignment with business goals and positive employee experience.
Culture: Model and embed True Anomaly's values (Be The Offset, What Would It Take, It's The People) through coaching, everyday practices, and intentional focus on teams that are often distributed or operating independently.
Requirements:
- 5–7 years of progressive HR experience, with 3–4+ years in a Business Partner or strategic HR role
- Experience supporting corporate functions (Finance, Legal, Ops, Business Development) or professional services
- Strong foundation in performance management, talent planning, employee relations, and compensation support
- Ability to build credibility quickly with operationally focused leaders skeptical of HR's value
- Must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident, protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3), or eligible to obtain required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State (ITAR compliance)
- Located near Denver, CO or Long Beach, CA
