Brex is seeking a People Business Partner focused on Employee Relations & Performance to join their San Francisco office on a hybrid basis (minimum 3 days/week in office: Mon, Wed, Thu). This role is central to scaling Brex's high-performance culture by coaching managers on consistent, fair performance management and driving accountability across the organization.
You will partner directly with front-line managers to ensure rigorous performance management, coach them on setting clear expectations, delivering effective feedback, and taking appropriate action on performance outcomes. You'll serve as the first point of contact for manager questions on performance-related cases and processes, and build scalable resources like coaching templates, toolkits, and training programs to strengthen manager effectiveness.
Key responsibilities include running employee investigations end-to-end with full documentation and escalation, providing guidance on terminations to ensure consistency, owning operational logistics for promotion and performance calibration cycles, and partnering with People Partners on return-to-office audits.
You'll need 5–8 years of HR experience, ideally in high-growth organizations, with demonstrated hands-on experience running investigations and supporting terminations. Strong understanding of performance management practices, ability to build trusted relationships with managers, and excellent organizational and communication skills are essential. Bonus experience includes supporting customer-facing or fast-scaling teams, familiarity with tools like Lattice or Workday, manager enablement programs, and a passion for building scalable People processes.
Success means managers consistently uphold Brex's high performance bar, processes run smoothly with strong logistics support, risks surface early with thoughtful escalation, and you're recognized as a trusted partner. Over time, you'll build skills to grow into a client-facing People Business Partner or senior Employee Relations role.
