HR Business Partner / HR Team Lead

We’re a 100+ people product company looking for an experienced HR professional to take ownership of the people function and help us scale thoughtfully.

There’s already a solid foundation: an HR Operations / People Partner Manager and a Recruiter are part of the team, and HR processes are up and running. What we need now is someone to elevate the function - act as a strategic partner to leadership, sharpen our people practices, and bring both big-picture thinking and hands-on execution.

What You’ll Be Doing
▸ Partner with middle and senior managers to translate business goals into HR strategies and concrete actions
▸ Use HR metrics and analytics to support decision-making and drive data-informed conversations at all levels
▸ Support organizational design: structure, role definitions, workforce planning
▸ Contribute to job architecture - leveling, grading, and KPI frameworks
▸ Own the full employee lifecycle: onboarding, performance management, development, internal mobility, and offboarding
▸ Develop and maintain HR policies and processes that work for the business, not just for compliance
▸ Coach and guide managers on people management, employee relations, and HR processes
▸ Identify organizational challenges early, propose practical solutions, and follow through on implementation
▸ Lead and contribute to HR projects end-to-end - from design to delivery
▸ Collaborate closely with the FinOps Manager on payroll, accruals, and compensation-related matters
▸ Work in tight coordination with the HR Operations / People Partner Manager and Recruiter to keep the people function running smoothly and consistently

What We’re Looking For
▸ 5+ years in HR, with 2+ years in an HR Business Partner or HR Lead capacity
▸ Proven experience working directly with middle and senior management
▸ Background in international or multicultural environments
▸ Strong expertise in Performance Management and the full Employee Lifecycle
▸ Experience navigating complex ER situations - conflicts, retention challenges, and offboarding
▸ Confident working with HR data: metrics, reporting, analytics - you bring evidence to the table, not just instinct
▸ English B2+ (used in daily work)
▸ Kyiv-based (preferred)
▸ ✦ PLUS: Familiarity with Ukrainian employment specifics - gig contracts, PE arrangements and military registration

Who Will Thrive in This Role
You enjoy working at the intersection of business, leadership and people. You’re comfortable building and improving processes, can navigate ambiguity, and know how to move between strategic thinking and day-to-day execution without losing momentum.
