We’re hiring a temporary Senior People Business Partner (PBP) to provide parental leave coverage on our People Business Partner team. Each role is a fixed-term assignment of approximately four months. The PBP will step into an established client group - Revenue, R&D, or G&A functions - and serve as the day-to-day People partner for managers and employees in that function while the incumbent PBP is on leave. This is a continuity role, not a build role. Success looks like managers and employees experiencing no drop-off in support, in-flight People cycles landing on schedule, and a clean handback when the incumbent returns. It’s a strong fit for an experienced PBP who can ramp fast, operate with judgment in ambiguity, and is genuinely comfortable inheriting someone else’s context rather than reshaping it. **This temporary role operates on a hybrid model with 2-3 days per week required in-office at our NYC HQ.** **What you’ll do:** - Serve as the primary People point of contact for your assigned client group, partnering with managers and employees on performance, development, engagement, and organizational questions - Own employee relations matters end-to-end — intake, investigation, documentation, and resolution — escalating complex or high-risk situations appropriately - Coach managers through day-to-day people situations: performance concerns, team dynamics, difficult conversations, and org changes already in motion - Carry in-flight People programs across the finish line, including performance cycles, talent reviews, compensation planning, and engagement survey follow-through - Partner with COE teams (Talent Acquisition, Total Rewards, People Ops & Employee Experience, Compliance, Legal) to execute programs within your client group - Support org changes, role changes, onboarding, and offboarding for your function - Maintain clear documentation and a running handover record so the returning PBP can pick things up cleanly - Flag risks and open items early rather than absorbing them quietly **What success looks like in this role:** - Managers and employees in your client group report consistent, responsive support throughout the coverage period - In-flight People cycles and programs complete on time with no slippage attributable to the transition - Employee relations matters are resolved or cleanly escalated, with complete documentation - The returning PBP receives a thorough, well-organized handback with no surprises **What you'll bring:** - 6+ years of progressively responsible HRBP or People Generalist experience - Demonstrated ability to ramp quickly and operate independently within an existing client group — you’ve stepped into unfamiliar contexts and been effective within weeks - Strong employee relations depth, including investigations, documentation, and risk assessment - Practical command of core HR disciplines: performance management, manager coaching, org design fundamentals, and compensation basics - Working knowledge of labor and employment law - Excellent written and verbal communication; credible with individual contributors, managers, and senior leaders alike - Comfort with people data, analytics and reporting to inform recommendations - High EQ and discretion in handling sensitive information - Sound judgment about what to decide, what to escalate, and what to leave for the returning PBP - Working knowledge of Google Workspace (Docs, Sheets, Slides, Forms) **Nice to have:** - Prior experience in interim, fractional, or leave-coverage HRBP assignments - Experience supporting Revenue (Sales, CS, Partnerships), R&D (Product, Engineering, Data), or G&A (Finance, Legal, Marketing, People) client groups - High-growth startup or technology company experience - Exposure to HR technology or People analytics platforms *The target base salary range for this position is **$129,780 - $164,450.** Individual pay may vary from the target range and is determined by a number of factors including experience, location, internal pay equity, and other relevant business considerations. We review all employee pay and compensation programs annually using [Radford Global Compensation Database](https://springhealth.link/jd-2022-09-radfordcomp) at minimum to ensure competitive and fair pay.* **Not sure if you meet every requirement?** [Research shows](https://pubsonline.informs.org/doi/10.1287/mnsc.2023.4907) that women and people from historically underrepresented communities often hesitate to apply for roles unless they meet every qualification compared to other similarly-qualified candidates.
