People & Performance Partner

Halter • Boulder, CO

1d • Hybrid

About The Position

At Halter, performance matters. The US team is scaling rapidly, and leadership quality will determine whether we win or stall. We’re hiring a People & Performance Partner to work closely with managers and strengthen how teams perform as we grow. This is not transactional HR. It’s not policy administration. It’s not a feel-good support role. It’s about lifting performance through clear standards, strong judgment, and better leadership. You’ll partner with managers across the US to strengthen how they lead and how their teams perform. You’ll coach managers through performance and development conversations, navigate early Employee Relations (ER) and team dynamics issues, raise clarity, accountability, and standards, spot risk before it becomes systemic, and escalate when needed — but not by default. Operate close to the work, where complexity is real and standards are high. This might mean time on the road visiting various members of the sales team. You’ll work in a high-performance environment where expectations are clear, feedback is direct, and standards are not diluted for comfort. You’ll need commercial judgment, not just HR knowledge. You’ll work alongside a Senior P&P Partner operating at system level — your role is to strengthen manager capability and bring signal from the ground. You’ll be expected to think, not just execute. What great looks like: You apply strong judgment under pressure and stay calm in complexity. You’re comfortable challenging managers directly and handling hard conversations without flinching. You understand performance and accountability, think commercially, and have a strong sense of fairness. You communicate clearly, operate well in ambiguity, and have the grit and integrity to hold high standards.
