People Business Partner

4h•$100,000 - $135,000

About The Position

Bizzabo is looking for a hands-on, people-first People Business Partner to join our evolving People Team. This role will be a close partner to leaders and employees across our North American GTM teams, focused on strengthening culture, engagement, and day-to-day people operations. This isn’t a traditional HR role. You’ll work at the intersection of people, culture, and business — combining strong operational execution with genuine human connection. You’ll support a distributed organization in a fast-moving, ever-changing industry. If you’re the kind of person who notices what’s missing, rolls up your sleeves, and builds what’s next, you’ll feel right at home here. We’re operating like a startup: agile, bold, and deeply human-centric.

Requirements

4–7 years of experience in HR / HRBP/ People & Culture roles, ideally in a startup or high-growth environment.
Experience working with global or distributed teams.

Practical and business-minded, yet deeply people-oriented.
Excellent communicator, able to adapt tone and approach across cultures and levels.
Strong working experience with PEOs, BambooHR, Lattice, Google Workspace, and Slack.
