Human Resources Business Partner

GreenSky Administrative Services•Atlanta, GA

About The Position

We're looking for a Strategic HR Business Partner who operates less like a generalist and more like a trusted business advisor who happens to know HR deeply. You'll embed with our leadership team and bring sharp thinking across the full employee lifecycle — from org design and talent strategy to compensation philosophy, performance culture, and data-driven workforce decisions. This role is for someone who has done the work across multiple HR disciplines, thrives in fast-moving environments, and isn't afraid to challenge the status quo. This is a high-visibility role at a company where HR has a seat at the table — and we expect you to use it.

Requirements

8–12+ years of progressive HR experience, with meaningful depth across at least four of the following: compensation, performance management, employee relations, people analytics, talent management, DEI, organizational design, or AI/HR tech
Experience supporting fast-scaling, tech-forward companies; fintech, SaaS, or financial services background strongly preferred
Demonstrated ability to work at both the strategic and operational level — you can present to a leadership team and also fix a broken process
Strong command of employment law and compliance, particularly across U.S. states
Comfort with data — you don't need to be a data scientist, but you should be able to build a pivot table and formulas in Excel, read a regression output, and tell a story with numbers
Hands-on experience with HR technology platforms (HRIS, ATS, performance tools) and genuine curiosity about how AI is reshaping HR work
High emotional intelligence, executive presence, and the ability to influence without authority at the senior leader level
