About the role

This is not a "keep the lights on" HR role.
You'll be part strategist, part coach, part process architect, part trusted confidant - and 100% focused on making Lightspeed a place where great people do their best work.
NOTE: This position is hybrid and requires several days onsite each week at our Austin, Texas headquarters.

Be a true partner.
Own the HRBP relationship for both departments - sitting at the table with leaders, understanding their goals, and making sure our people practices support getting there.
Support the full employee lifecycle.
From job posting to exit interview, show up as an engaged, consistent presence - conducting stay interviews, supporting managers through employee relations issues, and helping us build a culture people want to stay in.
Whether it's automating an onboarding step, building a cleaner offboarding process, or designing a repeatable performance review workflow - you see process gaps as opportunities, not annoyances.
Actively use AI tools to do your job better: draft and refine job descriptions, analyze engagement trends, summarize exit interview themes, build scalable HR templates, and more.
Help us build the infrastructure.
3-5 years of HR experience, with meaningful time as an HRBP or in a generalist role with real business partner exposure
Working knowledge of sales compensation structures - variable pay, commission plans, quota design, and how they connect to motivation and retention
You'll own the full HRBP relationship for two fast-moving, revenue-driving departments - and you'll be a key player in how we modernize and strengthen our People function from the ground up.

Demonstrated experience supporting sales and/or marketing teams - you understand the unique culture, pace, and compensation dynamics of a revenue-driving org
A process improvement mindset - you've looked at an HR workflow and rebuilt it, not just flagged it
Comfort with HR technology and genuine curiosity about AI - you're not waiting for a workshop to figure out how tools like ChatGPT, Copilot, or other AI platforms can make you sharper.
You're also familiar with HRIS, ATS, Performance Management, and L&D platforms.
Knowledge of Jira is a plus
Strong communication skills - you can simplify complex HR concepts for a skeptical sales manager, write a crisp policy, and navigate a difficult conversation with equal confidence
Self-starter energy - you don't need a detailed roadmap to make progress.
You see what needs doing and you do it

Demonstrated experience supporting sales and/or marketing teams - you understand the unique culture, pace, and compensation dynamics of a revenue-driving org
