About the Role
We’re not trying to “support R&D.” We’re trying to redefine how R&D works.
Technology is moving fast. AI is reshaping how teams build, think, and deliver. Most companies are reacting. We want to be ahead of it.
We’re looking for a Strategic People Partner who sees People as a system design problem, not a HR checklist. Someone who is deeply curious about AI, how work is evolving, and what high-performance looks like in modern engineering environments.
You’ll operate where technology, behavior, and organizational design collide, helping us build R&D teams that are fast, adaptive, and genuinely great to work in.
What You’ll Do
Design the next version of R&D: Work with engineering and product leaders to rethink org structures, team topology, and ways of working in an AI-accelerated world.
Cut through the AI noise: Translate “AI will change everything” into actual decisions: roles, skills, productivity, team composition. No fluff, just impact.
Rebuild People products for speed: Performance, hiring, onboarding, merit, talent… take what exists and make it work for builders. Less bureaucracy, more signal. If it slows teams down, it’s broken.
Bridge strategy and reality: Zoom out to define where we’re going. Zoom in to make sure it actually happens. No patience for strategies that live in slides.
Build teams for what’s next: Identify future capabilities early and make sure we have the talent to match. Not when it’s obvious, but before.
Upgrade leadership: Help leaders operate in ambiguity, make better decisions faster, and build teams that don’t burn out or slow down.
Protect what makes us human: As AI scales, double down on judgment, creativity, trust, and collaboration. The stuff that actually differentiates teams.
Use data, but think: Bring strong insights into decisions, but don’t hide behind dashboards when judgment is required.
What you'll bring to the role:
You’ve worked closely with R&D / engineering teams and get how things really happen
You’ve been part of meaningful transformation (not just polishing existing processes)
You’re comfortable tearing down and rebuilding core HR systems when they don’t fit
You’re genuinely curious about AI and the future of work (not just repeating headlines)
You’re proactive, sharp, and opinionated—you don’t wait to be asked
You’re comfortable in messy, fast-moving environments where clarity comes late
You believe People is a core driver of business performance, not a support layer
