About The Position

We're looking for an experienced People Business Partner, GTM to join our scaling People team as we navigate our Series D growth journey. The People team at Semgrep is dedicated to building a culture where all 200+ global employees can grow their careers while feeling respected and supported to bring their best selves to work, no matter where they're located. As our People Business Partner, you'll partner closely with GTM and G&A people leaders to build the foundation for how team members develop and advance their careers at Semgrep. You'll be instrumental in creating clear career pathways, meaningful development opportunities, and thoughtful HR initiatives that help our team grow as fast as our company does. You will thrive in this role if you believe investing in people's growth is the key to organizational success and have experience building L&D programs that actually work. This role is based out of our San Francisco office, with an in-office expectation of 1-2 days a week (Tuesdays + Wednesdays). Prior experience in a fast-paced, tech environment is helpful, but we are more interested in your passion for developing people and your strategic thinking skills than your pedigree. So if this opportunity excites you but you don't meet the exact requirements, apply anyway!

Requirements

Embrace the dynamic, uncertain environment of a Series D startup
Have 8+ years of HRBP experience, including supporting international teams
Have a pulse on the evolving state of HR and can help us navigate what absolutely needs to be done versus what can wait
Have past success in building learning and development programs or career frameworks
A track record of coaching managers to become effective developers of talent, not just performance managers
Familiarity with modern L&D approaches and tools, with the ability to build scalable programs that don't feel corporate
Operational excellence with HR tech stack experience (bonus points for: Rippling, CultureAmp, Pave, Carta)

Responsibilities

Partner with GTM and G&A leadership to drive People strategy that aligns with business objectives, providing counsel that shapes meaningful priorities beyond checkbox HR practices
Act as employee champion and trusted advisor—managing complex employee relations while addressing wellbeing needs that enhance productivity and engagement
Design career development frameworks including job architecture, leveling guidelines, and promotion criteria that create clear growth paths
Coach managers to become world-class leaders who excel at career conversations, team development, and identifying stretch opportunities
Guide workforce planning decisions including org design, compensation philosophy, promotion frameworks, and ensure global compliance
Build Semgrep's L&D foundation—determining what HR structures we need now versus later, always prioritizing impact over bureaucracy

Benefits

Our goal is to competitively and fairly compensate every Semgrep employee with a system that equally rewards those who are vocal and those who are less comfortable making demands during the final steps of the hiring process. To that end, we generate internal compensation bands that are used when discussing and negotiating salaries. We update these based on market data to make sure they’re above the average for comparable roles.
We also invest in our employees’ well-being and long term success with comprehensive health plans, generous vacation time, 401k, learning stipends, and more. Our benefits are for everyone, so that you’re taken care of, and we work with individuals to make sure you have what you need, whether that’s quiet work space, adjusted hours, or something else.
