HR Business Partner, Culture & Capability

This role will be on-site 5 days a week in NW Austin.

Scope

HR Business Partner, Culture & Capability (a.k.a. The Talent Transformer)

We’re looking for a strategic, HR Business Partner with responsibility for shaping culture and building organizational capability across our growing teams to join our People & Culture team. This is a Director level role and designed for someone who loves connecting business strategy to people strategy — a true architect of growth, culture, and leadership. You’ll partner with senior leaders across the company to drive organizational effectiveness, elevate talent development programs, and cultivate a culture where every employee can thrive.

This role combines strategic HR partnership with ownership of building the capabilities of our employees, offering both high visibility and hands-on influence. As our company continues to expand globally, this is an exciting opportunity to build and scale programs that develop leaders, strengthen engagement, and prepare the workforce for what’s next. You’ll play a pivotal role in shaping our global people strategy, designing career frameworks, and ensuring that learning, performance, and culture are tightly aligned with our business goals.

The ideal candidate brings a blend of strategic vision and hands-on execution — someone who thrives at 30,000 feet but isn’t afraid to dive into the details when needed. You’re passionate about coaching, organizational design, and cultivating an environment where people feel empowered to do their best work.

We’re a fast-growing, mid-sized company with over 200 employees — and as a close-knit HR team, we operate on trust, collaboration, and a healthy dose of humor. Everyone contributes across multiple areas of HR, so if you love variety and having real influence in shaping the culture, you’ll feel right at home here.

You’ll join a team of talented HR pros who always have each other’s backs:

• Rick Morales, Head of Talent Acquisition & Workforce Planning, our resident “people whisperer” and talent visionary.
• Gina Barres, Operations Manager extraordinaire, the engine that keeps everything running smoothly.
• Allie Garza, HR Generalist and fearless commander of the Austin office.
• Helen Ng, Regional Leader for APAC and champion of global connection and inclusion.

And of course, you — the Culture Champion, and Strategic Partner who will help elevate our People & Culture function to the next level. You’ll bring global insight, leadership development expertise, and a passion for unlocking potential at every level of the organization.
