Senior Talent Development Manager & Business Partner

RentSpree•Seattle, WA

7d•$200 - $230•Hybrid

About The Position

RentSpree is a fast-growing, profitable proptech company on a mission to make renting easier for everyone. We're a team of builders, problem-solvers, and culture-carriers who show up every day to create something meaningful, together. As we scale, we're doubling down on what's always driven us: talent, trust, and a culture of continuous growth. We're looking for a Senior HR/Talent Development Business Partner who is equal parts strategic partner, talent architect, and people developer. This is not a traditional HRBP role. Yes, you'll partner closely with leaders and managers, but your superpower is building capability and elevating talent. You'll shape how leaders lead, how talent grows, and how our culture scales as we do. Based in Seattle reporting to the Chief People Officer (CPO), and embedded with our team, you'll be the connective tissue between people strategy and day-to-day business reality — coaching managers, designing development experiences, career journeys, and building the systems that make great people even better. This role is based in our Seattle, WA office, with an expectation of 3-4 days per week on-site (Mondays–Thursdays). Fridays are remote. We believe in the power of in-person connection for coaching, culture, and collaboration, while respecting the value of focused, flexible work.

Requirements

7+ years of progressive HR experience, with meaningful depth in learning & development, organizational development, or leadership coaching
Proven experience as an HRBP or senior L&OD people partner in a fast-moving, growth-stage environment; high-tech, small to mid-sized companies preferred
A genuine passion for developing people and building the conditions where talent thrives
Strong coaching instincts — you know how to ask the right questions, hold space, and comfortably and constructively challenge thinking
Confidence designing and facilitating workshops, programs, and learning experiences for managers and leaders
The ability to think strategically and execute practically — you're comfortable in ambiguity, working independently, roll your sleeves up high and are motivated by building
Exceptional communication skills — open, honest, and courageous; you say the hard things with care and create space for others to do the same
A natural culture carrier — you model collaboration, accountability, and pride of ownership in how you show up every day, not just in the programs you build
Sharp critical and strategic thinker — you connect business context, people data, and organizational dynamics to develop solutions that are both smart and practical
Strong analytical and storytelling skills — you use data to inform decisions and communicate impact clearly
