About The Position

This is a strategic people-and-organization partner role focused on shaping a global Product & Engineering organization as it evolves, scales, and matures its operating model. The role involves partnering with senior technical leaders to connect people strategy to business outcomes, strengthen leadership capability, and improve team effectiveness. Key areas of focus include organization design, workforce planning, operating effectiveness, succession, leadership capability, and large-scale change. The role also involves coaching leaders through ambiguity and supporting them in executing initiatives. A unique aspect of this position is its connection to the evolving landscape of AI-native and agentic workforces, offering an opportunity to influence cutting-edge work.

Requirements

Senior business partnering experience: Proven experience partnering with senior leaders across global, complex or fast-scaling environments.
Strong technical aptitude: Experience supporting Product, Engineering, Technology or technical functions would be a real advantage. You don’t need to be an engineer, but you do need to credibly engage with technical leaders, understand complex technology conversations and stay connected to industry trends.
Systems thinking: You look beyond the surface issue and can spot whether the real challenge is structure, decision rights, leadership capability, capacity, incentives, ways of working or the operating model.
Strategic and practical: You can operate at altitude, connect people strategy to business outcomes, and then get into the detail to drive execution.
Strong influence and communication: You build trust quickly, bring clarity to ambiguity, and can influence across levels, functions and geographies.
Insight-led judgement: You use data, patterns and context to inform decisions — without losing the human lens.
People-first maturity: You bring empathy, discretion and resilience, especially in difficult or sensitive situations.
A bit of spark: You’re someone people want to work with — collaborative, commercially minded, humble enough to laugh at yourself, and happy to grab a drink after a big week.
Must hold valid right to work in the United States.

Responsibilities

Shape people-and-organization strategy: Partner with senior Product & Engineering leaders to translate business priorities into practical people, organization and workforce plans.
Lead through ambiguity: Help leaders make sense of complex, evolving challenges — from structure and decision rights to leadership capability, capacity, incentives and operating model.
Drive org design and operating effectiveness: Support scalable organization design, role clarity, ways of working and operating rhythms that help technical teams move faster and work smarter.
Build future-ready talent plans: Bring focus to succession, leadership capability, critical skills, workforce planning and talent strategies that support growth and performance.
Champion change that sticks: Lead and support large-scale change, helping leaders communicate clearly, build trust quickly and bring people with them.
Coach and influence leaders: Act as a trusted partner to technical leaders — able to challenge thinking, ask the right questions, and support difficult conversations with confidence and care.
Execute brilliantly: Move between strategic advisory and hands-on delivery. You’ll be equally comfortable in executive conversations, working sessions, employee matters and the detailed follow-through that makes change real.
Connect across the organization: Collaborate with People, Product, Engineering and cross-functional partners globally to create joined-up, practical solutions.
