We’re reinventing global trade.

Flexport helps more than 10,000 clients and suppliers lead all aspects of their supply chain operations. Started in 2013, we've raised over $300M from investors that include the Founders Fund, Google Ventures, First Round Capital, Bloomberg Beta, Y Combinator, & Wells Fargo.

With offices on three continents, our team is as global as our client base and we’re excited to continue building a product and service they love. Wherever you are, whichever role you play, you’re guaranteed to share your day with committed, encouraging, and resourceful team members.

To keep up with our growth, we’re looking for a smart, pragmatic People Business Partner for our growing New York office to help in building, executing, and scaling exceptional people and culture programs.

What you'll do:

• As a member of the People team, you will provide support across the client group in areas including organizational design, performance management, leadership development, succession planning, talent acquisition, diversity and inclusion, and employee relations;
• Provide frontline support to leaders and employees, acting as a one-stop contact for all strategies related to people in your assigned functional teams, managing both big ideas and some tiny tasks;
• Develop relationships with leaders and employees across the office to facilitate and promote an environment that attracts and retains diverse talent;
• Demonstrate an understanding of business needs and trends to help drive the business forward;
• Consult with leaders to help them navigate through employee issues so they understand the different risks and benefits of different scenarios to make the best decision possible for the organization; and
• Contribute to the Employee Experience and help us champion our Flexport culture

What you'll need:

• 5+ years of progressive HR experience, with 3+ years in a People Partner (HRBP) role or equivalent;
• A passion for people. You should be smart, thoughtful, emotionally intelligent, and excited to bring out the best in people;
• Experience should include demonstrated competence in various HR functional areas: coaching, employee relations, compensation, performance management, and program management;
• Has a people-centric and "roll up your sleeves and get it done" work style;
• Ability to exercise good judgment and discretion - maintain confidentiality;
• Approachable and calm: Your presence is reassuring and you can help people accomplish what is required by the business. You aren't afraid to weigh the options, influence decision making, and make recommendations. You accept change and are resilient, adapting to meet the nuanced needs of various partners;
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills and ability to work cross-functionally at all levels; and
• Ability to engage, inspire and influence people across diverse groups and levels.

Where you'll work:
