GitGuardian is a global cybersecurity scale-up based in Paris, New York City, and Boston. The company has raised Series C funding (early 2026) and is backed by top-tier VCs and notable founders including GitHub co-founder Scott Chacon and Docker co-founder Solomon Hykes. GitGuardian leads in securing the credential layer, helping organizations protect secrets used by code, machines, and AI agents. The company is trusted by 600K+ developers and 50 Fortune 500 companies.
The People team owns the full employee lifecycle and translates company strategy into hiring, performance, and development plans across Europe and the US. As GitGuardian scales, particularly in commercial operations, this role combines two connected responsibilities: serving as the dedicated People Partner for Go-To-Market and G&A populations across France, Europe, and part of the US, while supporting globally-scaled programs and processes that keep teams performing, engaged, and growing.
This is a hands-on, cross-functional role reporting to the Chief People Officer and working within an 8-person People team. You will be the trusted partner to GTM and G&A managers and their teams, coaching on team and individual situations, supporting people development, and helping build effective, motivated teams. You will also actively design and run global performance cycles, translate pulse survey signals into action plans, lead change management initiatives, and help build data infrastructure and automation systems.

- Employee relations and compliance: handle individual and collective employee relations across your perimeter, ensuring compliance with French and US labor law and relevant local frameworks in other European countries.
- Process design and implementation: identify where employee experience breaks down, support designing better processes, and drive adoption across teams (performance management, engagement, career paths, compensation and benefits).
- Change management and internal communication: lead rollout of new policies, tools, and programs with clear communication and strong manager enablement.
- Learning and development: scope and launch L&D initiatives (manager training, skills frameworks, career development) in partnership with team leads, leveraging LLM and AI capabilities, and organizing workshops and learning events.
- AI and automation: identify high-leverage HR workflows to automate and areas where AI can support HR operations.
The role can evolve over time toward program management and L&D, or toward HR Manager and Director positions overseeing EMEA or all regions.
REQUIREMENTS (Essential):
- 5–10 years of experience as an HR Business Partner in the tech industry, partnering with and coaching business managers (including senior leaders), conducting performance management, and navigating French labor law
