Lightning AI is seeking a Senior People Partner to embed with go-to-market and business leaders, bringing clarity and strong judgment to organizational design, talent decisions, and complex people challenges. Founded in 2019, Lightning AI builds an end-to-end platform for developing, training, and deploying AI systems, combining developer-first software with cost-efficient, large-scale compute through a merger with Voltage Park. The company serves solo researchers, startups, and large enterprises globally, with offices in New York City, San Francisco, Seattle, and London, backed by top-tier investors including Coatue, Index Ventures, and Bain Capital Ventures.
In this role, you'll own high-stakes situations end-to-end—from nuanced compensation decisions to sensitive exits—while building capability and systems that enable business leaders to make great decisions independently. You'll partner with senior business leaders to drive clear, consistent calls on org design, team structure, leveling, promotions, and compensation. You'll own complex employee relations and performance situations, coaching leaders through performance management, role transitions, and exits with care and rigor. You'll level up manager capability across the business by sharpening feedback, improving performance conversations, and strengthening talent decisions. You'll partner with the Talent team to raise the bar on hiring quality through role design, leveling frameworks, and evaluation practices. You'll also spot friction and risk in people processes before they become problems, building pragmatic, scalable fixes alongside Legal, Total Rewards, and Finance.
You'll join a small, high-leverage People team where your judgment directly shapes how a fast-scaling, ambitious company grows. The company values builders who move fast, communicate openly, take ownership, and continuously improve themselves, their teams, and the organization.
