Senior/Staff HRBP

Runway

1d • $200,000 - $250,000

About The Position

We are building AI to simulate the world through merging art and science. We believe that world models are at the frontier of progress in artificial intelligence. Language models alone won’t solve the world’s hardest problems – robotics, disease, scientific discovery. Real progress requires models that experience the world and learn from their mistakes, the same way that humans do. And this kind of trial and error can be massively accelerated when done in simulation, rather than in the real world. World models offer the most clear path to general-purpose simulation, changing how stories are told, how scientific progress is made and how the next frontiers of humanity are reached. Our team consists of creative, open minded, caring and ambitious people who are determined to change the world. We aspire to continuously build impossible things and our ability to do so relies on building an incredible team. If you are driven to do the same, we'd love to hear from you. We’re looking for a Senior/Staff HR Business Partner to work directly with Runway’s leaders and teams on how they grow, organize and perform. You’ll advise managers and executives on people decisions, lead org design and talent programs, unblock teams so they can move faster and turn what you see across the business into HR priorities.

Requirements

• Experience at a high-growth company, ideally through periods of rapid headcount growth

• Strong employee relations experience, with sound judgment and discretion
• Working knowledge of employment law, compensation practices and performance management frameworks
• Clear written and verbal communication
• Comfort operating independently in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment

Responsibilities

• Partner with leaders on org design, headcount planning, team structure and leveling
• Coach managers and executives on performance, feedback, career development and difficult conversations
• Own complex employee relations cases from intake through resolution, including investigations, in partnership with Legal where needed
• Work with Compensation and Talent Acquisition on offers, promotions and market adjustments
• Use headcount, attrition, engagement and performance data to spot risks early and recommend action
