About the role

We move fast, stay curious, and take full ownership of our results - no excuses, no finger-pointing.
If you thrive in ambiguity, take initiative, and view honest feedback as fuel for growth, you'll feel right at home here.
We're direct but respectful, ambitious yet grounded, and collaborative at every level.

You'll be establishing how people partnerships work at Tekmetric - the frameworks, the operating rhythms, the standards - while simultaneously leading the team that delivers it.
You're the one who creates it.
You'll manage and develop a team of 2-3 People Partners embedded across our GTM, Customer, R&D and G&A divisions, while personally owning senior leader relationships and escalated employee matters.
You set the standard for what great people partnership looks like at Tekmetric and build a team that delivers it consistently.
You'll report to the VP of People & Culture and partner closely with the Director of People Operations, Sr.
Director of Talent Acquisition, and Head of Employee Experience to build a People function that is a genuine competitive advantage as Tekmetric scales toward 200M ARR and beyond.
Own the Talent Architecture.
Design and maintain a rigorous approach to org design, workforce planning, and succession planning across all divisions.
Lead and develop the People Partnerships team. Manage, coach, and develop 2-3 People Partners, setting the standard for what great people partnership looks like at Tekmetric - then building a team that delivers it consistently across every division.
Own the most complex work yourself. This is a player-coach role. You'll personally own senior leader relationships, and escalated situations, not because your team can't, but because that's how you develop them and stay close to the business.

You're energized by doing the work yourself, not just overseeing it.
You don't hand off the hard stuff - you model how to handle it.
You set a high bar for your team and hold it - on quality of partnerships, consistency of judgment, and the impact of the work.
You have 8-12+ years in people partnership or a closely related function, with at least 3-4 years at the director or senior HRBP level in a high-growth SaaS or technology company.
You've supported revenue-generating or customer-facing teams and understand how quota-carrying managers think - and what it takes to earn their trust.
You don't wait to be told where the gaps are.
You identify organizational risk early, bring clarity to ambiguity, and know when to push back and when to align.
You're comfortable with HRIS platforms (Rippling a plus), people analytics, and performance management tools (Lattice or similar).

Partner closely with the People Leadership Team to deliver integrated people solutions — from hiring strategy and onboarding to compensation decisions and leadership development.

We're looking for a Director of People Partnerships who is energized by two things in equal measure: developing the people on their team and making the leaders around them measurably better.
We're looking for a track record of outcomes - not a specific title history or certification.
