Summary:

We are looking for an experienced People Business Partner to support our Corporate Functions — Finance, Legal, Cybersecurity, and HR. Reporting directly to the Chief People Officer, you will serve as a trusted advisor to the leaders of each function, delivering people programs and partnerships that keep our organizational infrastructure strong and our teams performing at their best.

This role sits at the heart of how our company operates. Corporate Functions at our organization are lean, high-expertise teams where every role matters. You will need to move fluidly between strategic counsel and hands-on execution, building credibility with specialized professionals across four distinct disciplines in a ~1,500-person cybersecurity company.

What You'll Do:

Business Partnership & People Strategy

• Serve as the primary People partner to functional leaders across Finance, Legal, Cybersecurity, and HR — developing a strong understanding of each team's goals, challenges, and talent needs

• Translate functional priorities into people plans that address org health, team effectiveness, and talent development

• Contribute to People team initiatives and collaborate closely with the CPO and People team peers on enterprise-wide programs

Organizational Design & Workforce Planning

• Partner with functional leaders on org design questions — role clarity, team structure, and spans of control — as the business evolves

• Support workforce planning cycles across Corporate Functions, helping leaders think through headcount needs in partnership with Finance

• Assist with succession planning and identifying development paths for key roles across the four functions

Talent, Performance & Development

• Facilitate the talent review and calibration process across Corporate Functions, helping leaders assess their teams and identify top talent and development needs

• Coach managers on performance management, feedback conversations, and building team cultures that bring out the best in specialized professionals

• Partner with L&D to connect employees in Corporate Functions with relevant development resources and programs

Employee Relations, Compliance & Risk

• Handle employee relations matters across Corporate Functions with sound judgment and discretion, including navigating the added sensitivity of supporting HR and Legal team members

• Partner with People Operations and Legal to ensure HR practices remain compliant across all applicable jurisdictions

• Serve as a reliable, approachable resource for managers and employees on policy questions, workplace concerns, and HR guidance

Culture & Engagement

• Monitor engagement and organizational health across Corporate Functions using people data and survey insights, surfacing trends and recommendations to functional leaders and the CPO

• Support leaders in building strong team cultures that reflect company values while honoring the professional norms of each discipline

What We're Looking For:

• 8+ years of progressive HR/People experience, with at least 3 years in a dedicated HRBP role supporting corporate or enterprise functions

• Experience supporting Finance, Legal, Technology, or HR teams — you understand the career paths, professional norms, and talent dynamics of specialized, expert-driven functions

• Comfortable operating as a trusted partner to senior leaders while also rolling up your sleeves to execute — this role requires both

• Solid foundation in employee relations, performance management, and HR compliance across multiple jurisdictions

• Working knowledge of org design principles, workforce planning, and talent review processes

• Ability to use people data and engagement insights to inform decisions and conversations with leaders

• Background in high-growth technology companies; cybersecurity, SaaS, or B2B enterprise software experience a plus

• Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to build credibility quickly with expert, specialized audiences

• Organized and able to manage priorities across multiple functions simultaneously without losing quality of partnership

• Bachelor's degree required; Master's in HR, Business, or a related field preferred

Why This Role:

This is an opportunity to do meaningful, varied People work alongside some of the most specialized professionals in the company — the teams that manage financial integrity, legal risk, cybersecurity, and the people function itself. You will have real influence on how these teams are built, developed, and supported, with a CPO who is invested in your growth and a company doing important work in an industry that matters.

• We're passionate problem-solvers helping the world's largest organizations protect what matters most: their human and machine identities.

• We invest in people who are smart, self-motivated, and collaborative.

• What we offer in return is meaningful work, a culture of innovation and great career progression.
