Lumos is an Autonomous Identity Platform backed by a16z, Scale, and Neo, serving enterprise customers like GitHub, MongoDB, Pinterest, and Anduril. The company has grown from 20 to ~130 employees since launching in April 2022 and has raised over $65M. Named a Strong Performer in the 2026 Gartner Voice of the Customer for IGA with 4.7/5 rating. As Senior People Partner, you will own a hybrid HRBP and People Ops role (60/40 split initially, shifting toward strategic partnership as automation absorbs manual work). This is a high-autonomy, high-accountability position where you build systems for the company's future rather than recreate legacy playbooks. Key responsibilities include: - Own HRBP relationships for assigned business groups, independently managing performance management conversations, employee relations, manager coaching, talent development, and org design. - Design and evolve performance cycles, pulse surveys, and talent assessments; surface trends and business-tied recommendations to leadership. - Independently manage employee relations cases, sensitive situations, and conflict resolution with appropriate escalation judgment. - Facilitate manager enablement workshops, internal learning sessions, and people-related comms rollouts. - Identify and implement automation across the People function—workflows, documentation, reporting, and reactive work—to create capacity for strategic initiatives. - Own and optimize the people tech stack, ensuring data accuracy and delivering regular people insights through reporting. - Manage onboarding, offboarding, and employee lifecycle processes with compliance rigor. - Serve as internal liaison for PEO-administered benefits and compliance; primary contact for employee questions and vendor escalations. - Drive continuous process improvement to reduce manual overhead and improve cross-functional coordination. You will work in a culture recognized three years running on Forbes' Top 100 Best Startup Employers in America, with strong retention and growth metrics. The role requires someone who can think systemically, use AI tools fluently, understand business drivers, and thrive in a high-growth startup environment where playbooks don't yet exist.
