People Business Partner

Summary

Engine is an all-in-one travel and spend management platform for businesses and groups. The People Business Partner will own the People partnership for a defined client group, coaching managers, running core people cycles, managing employee relations, and handling tactical people operations in a high-growth environment.

Responsibilities

• Partner with and coach people managers up to Sr Manager on team health, performance, development, and day-to-day people decisions — earning credibility and influencing sound outcomes
• Bring business context to your partnership: understand your client group's operational and financial goals, and align People programs and processes to them
• Run the core people cycles end to end — performance reviews, calibration prep, comp cycle, and org-health insights — coaching managers through each
• Own employee relations from IC through Sr Manager: handle grievances and conflict with empathy and fairness, navigate difficult topics, and escalate complex or senior-level matters to PBP leadership
• Consult with managers on team-level structure and effectiveness, and partner with the Sr PBP on larger org changes
• Interpret org-health data to find root causes, anticipate risks, and give managers clear, actionable insight
• Execute org and change initiatives independently as needed, and in partnership with PBP Leaders, using data and context to keep transitions moving
• Translate policy and compliance into everyday practice, escalating higher-risk matters appropriately
• Manage the tactical workload end to end — HiBob workforce planning and reqs, headcount reconciliation, JD and Greenhouse support, on/offboarding, transitions, and termination prep — and provide backup coverage for a paired team so no group goes dark
• Communicate clearly and build trust across teams, coaching managers on how to communicate through change

Skills

• ~4–6 years in HRBP / People Partner roles with direct client-group support and hands-on manager coaching — including at least 2 years supporting either a Product Development org (Engineering, Data, Product) or a GTM / Revenue org (Sales, Finance, Business Development) in a high-growth environment
• Practical employee-relations experience through mid-management, with sound judgment on when to act and when to escalate
• Strong organization and process discipline — comfortable owning cyclical people processes end to end
• Business acumen to connect People work to what the business is trying to achieve
• Demonstrated ability to build strong, trusted relationships with stakeholders to influence outcomes
• Fluency with HRIS, ATS, and analytics tools (e.g., HiBob, Greenhouse, Looker, or similar)
• Comfortable in a rapidly changing environment, able to manage multiple priorities and pivot as needed
