Why this role

Our rapidly growing team at Evolve is hiring Senior People Business Partners to align with dedicated business portfolios across our organization. Depending on business needs, each role may partner with leaders in areas such as Product, Technology, Commercial, Revenue, Customer, or Operations. These roles serve as strategic advisors to senior leaders, including CTO, CRO, and executive-level partners as assigned, translating business priorities into the organizational structures, talent plans, leadership practices, and employee experiences that help teams scale with speed, clarity, and care.

You will be both a trusted partner and a hands-on operator: diagnosing organizational opportunities, coaching leaders through complex moments, using data to guide decisions, and partnering across People, Talent Acquisition, Total Rewards, Legal, Finance, and Organizational Development to deliver practical solutions. The ideal candidate has strong HRBP experience, excellent judgment, and the courage to challenge leaders while maintaining deep trust.

What You’ll Do

• Serve as the senior People partner for an assigned business portfolio, translating strategy into practical people plans that support growth, performance, retention, and organizational health.
• Lead workforce planning and organizational design work, including headcount planning, critical-role identification, succession planning, team structures, spans and layers, role clarity, and operating rhythms.
• Coach executives, directors, managers, and frontline leaders on leadership effectiveness, performance accountability, feedback, team dynamics, conflict resolution, and change leadership.
• Drive talent routines such as performance calibration, promotion readiness, talent assessment, career development, engagement action planning, and manager enablement.
• Use people analytics from engagement, attrition, performance, hiring, exits, retention, attendance, and team health signals to identify trends, diagnose root causes, and recommend action.
• Partner with Total Rewards, Finance, Talent Acquisition, and business leaders on compensation, leveling, incentive or bonus considerations, offer strategy, retention risks, and pay equity considerations.
• Navigate employee relations, performance, conduct, policy, and organizational risk matters with sound judgment, strong documentation, legal partnership, and a bias toward durable resolution.
• Champion Evolve’s culture and values while helping leaders create high-performing teams where teammates understand priorities, receive meaningful feedback, grow their careers, and can do their best work.

What Makes You a Great Fit

• 8+ years of progressive HR Business Partner or closely related People experience in a fast-paced, high-growth, customer-centric, or technology-enabled environment.
• Experience partnering directly with senior leaders or executives, with the ability to influence strategy, challenge assumptions, and build trusted relationships.
• Demonstrated expertise in organizational design, workforce planning, performance management, talent reviews, employee relations, compensation partnership, manager effectiveness, and change management.
• Strong judgment across both strategic and sensitive people matters, including complex employee relations, performance issues, confidential information, and moments of ambiguity.
• Data fluency and comfort using HRIS, engagement, performance, compensation, headcount, and attrition data to influence leaders and prioritize action.
• Experience supporting technical, commercial, customer-facing, operational, hourly, or frontline teams is a plus.
• Experience with Rippling, Betterworks, or similar people technology is a plus. HR certification is also a plus.

For this role compensation is $140,000 to 170,000 depending on relevant experience.
