HR Business Partner / HR Team Lead

About the Position

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.

Responsibilities

• 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

• 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

Requirements

• 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

We Offer

• Opportunity to work in a dynamic and growing product company
• Remote work options
• Professional growth and development
