The Opportunity As a Senior People Partner, you will be embedded within our Engineering, Product, Design and Marketing teams, working closely with leaders to drive org health, talent strategy, and people programs that move the business forward. This is a unique time for Superhuman, where we have brought together and integrated multiple companies (Grammarly, Coda, Superhuman Mail) into a single AI productivity platform, while building out new products and plans to integrate even more companies. Superhuman is scaling across multiple business units and functions and we operate in a unique model where people partners sit at the intersection of Business Units and centralized functions — acting as true strategic partners, not just HR administrators. We’re looking for a people partner who will own the relationships, context, and judgment to push the business forward proactively, and have the craft to navigate complex situations with speed and care. You’ll be joining a People Partner team that cares deeply about operating at all altitudes: in this role, you will be effective as a strategic partner and as a skilled executor, building foundational systems that scale broadly across the business.

Demonstrated ability to build high-trust relationships quickly across org levels, from ICs to senior leaders
Experience supporting Engineering, Product, Design and/or Marketing orgs
Strong judgment in navigating complex, sensitive employee situations. You combine speed, structure, and genuine care
Experience partnering with other People teams and business partners like Finance and Recruiting
Ready to build and figure out the right solutions with cross-functional partners, not just execute processes and programs.
Strong business acumen — you can connect people strategy to business outcomes and talk credibly with senior leaders
Experience owning talent calibrations, leveling exercises, and performance management end-to-end
Has a demonstrated ability to work independently with minimal guidance, and has a track record of operating proactively, not reactively. Thrives in fast-paced, ambiguous environments.

Experience in a compound startup, multi-product company, or post-acquisition environments
