About The Position

Life360 is undergoing a significant transformation, with the Engineering, Product & Design (EPD) organization spearheading the company's move to AI-native operations. This role, reporting to the Chief People Officer, will be instrumental in designing the operating model in collaboration with the CTO and EPD leadership. The position will own workforce decisions related to this transformation, manage the HRBP team supporting the rest of the company, and build systems for other functions as they transition. The company is remote-first, with over 500 employees across more than 180 countries, and is committed to being AI-native, integrating AI into its operations and product development. Candidates may be asked to demonstrate AI proficiency during the interview process.

Requirements

10+ years of progressive HR experience, with at least 5 years as a strategic HRBP embedded in a technical organization (Engineering, Product, or Design).
Demonstrated experience leading people strategy through significant organizational transformation, not just managing HR programs during growth, but designing the people approach for a changing org model.
Real, working knowledge of AI tools and how they are changing technical work. You use AI in your own workflow and can speak credibly to leaders about the implications for their teams.
Org design experience. You have made structural decisions, not just advised on them. You understand spans of control, role architecture, and how org shape drives or undercuts execution.
Talent economics. You can model workforce composition trade-offs, frame build/buy/borrow decisions at the role-architecture level, and partner credibly on comp and incentive design for roles whose value is changing.
Experience managing and developing a team of HRBPs or HR professionals.
Strong track record of advising C-suite and VP-level leaders on difficult people and organizational decisions, holding a point of view and defending it.
Comfort with uncertainty and an incomplete playbook. The AI-native model is still being developed. You will be designing people approaches for situations without precedent.
Data literacy. You can build a workforce planning model, read an attrition analysis, and design a measurement framework for a people initiative.
