About the role

  • You'll report to the HR Director and be dedicated to GTM - Sales, Customer Success, and Marketing - the engine behind Safe Software's growth.
  • You'll work closely with the CRO and commercial leaders, with a seat at the table from day one.
  • This is a hybrid role based in Surrey, BC, with 2 days/week in office.

Responsibilities

  • As a Senior HR Business Partner, you will operate at all altitudes - one week advising the CRO on how to structure a new EMEA team, the next in the room for a manager's first real performance consulting conversation.
  • Build calibration that changes minds, not documents.
  • Design and run the GTM talent review - 4-box, succession planning, and talent mapping for commercial leadership - on a quarterly cadence, with outcomes that actually alter decisions: who gets promoted, who gets developed, and who needs a different conversation.
  • Own performance consulting end to end.
  • Partner with managers early, build development plans with real milestones, have the conversations others are avoiding, and handle exits in a way that leaves everyone's dignity intact.
  • Define what great looks like. No calibration process, shared definition of high performance, or talent review cadence exists in GTM today - you'll build it from first principles so Safe can name, protect, develop, and replicate its best commercial talent.
  • Help leaders see around corners. Bring a point of view - not just a process - to org design decisions, team structure, and headcount sequencing, surfacing what your business partners haven't asked about yet.
  • Build for where Safe is going. GTM's expansion into EMEA is coming. Candidate experience, onboarding, culture continuity across time zones, and local employment context - write the playbook before the first London hire starts.
  • Every Safer is expected to figure out where AI creates leverage in their own work - there's no approved tool list or workflow guide to follow.
  • Safe Software is looking for a Senior HR Business Partner to join our HR team.

  • Fluency with people analytics: attrition, comp equity, and calibration distributions
  • Genuine curiosity about AI - actively experimenting now, not planning to start
  • Desired skills / Bonus points:

  • EMEA or multi-jurisdiction employment experience
  • Variable compensation design: OTE modeling, quota structures
  • Coaching accreditation or structured manager development work

Compensation

  • Take paid time off to volunteer for one of our Safe-organized opportunities that align with our core community initiatives.
  • Turn attrition trends into a retention play before the exits happen, use engagement signals to advise rather than just report, and bring comp equity analysis to the table before a leader asks for it.
  • Retain people before they decide to leave.

Company info

  • Use data with craft. Turn attrition trends into a retention play before the exits happen, use engagement signals to advise rather than just report, and bring comp equity analysis to the table before a leader asks for it. The craft is in the interpretation, not the spreadsheet.
