As a Senior Human Resources Business Partner, you will serve as the primary HR strategic partner for a portfolio of corporate organizations, working directly with Directors, VPs, and executive team members. Your responsibilities will span performance management, employee relations, compensation, career development, and workforce planning.
Key responsibilities include leading annual review calibrations, promotion cycles, and merit reviews from preparation through facilitation to final outcomes. You will coach and develop managers to build high-performance, accountable, and inclusive team cultures, including navigating difficult performance conversations. You'll advise on complex employee relations situations, balancing employee and business needs, and own strategic HR initiatives end-to-end—from problem identification and stakeholder alignment through solution design and execution.
You will design HR processes and frameworks that scale beyond your immediate portfolio, solving root causes rather than symptoms. The role includes leveraging AI tools to accelerate your work—from ER documentation to policy drafting to workforce planning—and helping elevate how the broader People team operates. You'll informally mentor teammates and model strong HRBP partnership practices.
You bring broad HR experience in fast-moving environments, built as an HRBP, People Partner, generalist, or through similarly hands-on roles. You have a proven track record leading calibration, promotion, or merit cycles in high-performance cultures and are comfortable advising and coaching leaders through the executive level, including difficult or high-stakes conversations. You've owned ambiguous people problems and strategic initiatives end-to-end, and have a history of designing or improving HR processes, not just executing them. You're genuinely curious about AI and new tools, willing to experiment and iterate.
The company is distributed across US time zones with select offices in the US and internationally. Brightwheel is committed to creating a diverse and inclusive work environment.
