About the Role

We’re looking for a Director, HR Business Partner to be the strategic right-hand to our VP, People Experience & Operations - and the primary HR presence for our entire organization.

Right now, our VP of People Experience & Operations wears a lot of hats: she’s the one employees come to, the one running 1:1s, and the one holding together programs across performance, learning, culture, and operations. You’ll step in as a true thought partner and co-pilot - taking on the direct employee-facing work so she can operate at a higher altitude, while also helping shape the people strategy itself.

This is not a role for someone who wants to execute a set playbook. You’ll be stepping into an organization that’s scaling fast and needs a real strategic partner: someone who can hold complexity, earn trust quickly across all levels, and help us build a people function that’s world-class. The scope of this role has room to grow - including the potential to manage a team over time given this is the first of likely a larger org of HRBPs.

Your Impact

Serve as the primary HR partner across ShopMy’s teams : be the go-to for employees and managers navigating anything from career development and feedback to sensitive or complex situations

Be a true thought partner to the VP of People Experience & Operations : help shape people strategy, pressure-test ideas, and co-own the work of building a best-in-class people function at a fast-moving company

Partner on manager effectiveness : build and run programs, coaching frameworks, and toolkits that make ShopMy’s managers meaningfully better at leading, developing, and retaining their teams - in close partnership with the VP of People Experience and Operations

Anchor performance management : manage the day-to-day cadence behind our annual review cycle and calibration, in partnership with the VP of People Experience and Operations

Partner with leaders on talent density and bar-raising: help them continuously assess whether their teams are meeting the bar - not just during the annual review cycle - and act early on gaps, whether through targeted coaching, role changes, or performance action

Support employee relations : navigate sensitive conversations, workplace investigations, PIPs, and exits with care, sound judgment, and the documentation rigor those situations require

Identify opportunities for learning & development : identify where the org needs to grow, design or source programs that close those gaps, and build a culture of continuous development

Inform our approach to compensation and org design : partner with leadership and Finance on leveling, pay decisions, and headcount planning as we scale given the insights you have from working closely with different team leaders

You Are Energized By

Being the person employees trust to come to - you’re naturally approachable, and you take that responsibility seriously

Strategic partnership, not just execution - you want to help shape the direction of the people function, not just run programs someone else designed

Building in a fast-moving environment where the work is real and the stakes are high

Making managers better - you genuinely care about developing the humans who lead people, and you’re good at it

The intersection of business and people work - you understand what makes a company grow and you connect people decisions to outcomes

ShopMy’s mission at the intersection of creators, brands, and culture

What We’re Looking For

8 - 12 years of progressive HR experience, with meaningful time as a HRBP or strategic HR partner at a high-growth tech or startup company

Proven track record as a trusted advisor to leaders - you’ve sat in the room, understood the business, and shaped people strategy as a result

Track record of driving talent density as an ongoing practice, not as an annual event - you help leaders spot underperformance or skill gaps early and act on them proactively

Strong employee relations background - you’ve managed complex investigations and sensitive situations with discretion, fairness, and rigor

Exceptional written and verbal communication - equally clear, credible, and calibrated whether you're talking to an executive or an individual contributor.

Strong follow-through and organizational rigor - you manage many concurrent priorities in parallel without losing the thread, and you're proactive rather than waiting to be asked."

Hands-on experience with performance management cycles and talent density management - calibrations, feedback frameworks, and coaching managers through hard conversations

Exceptional EQ and the kind of trust-building instincts that make both executives and individual contributors feel genuinely heard

Data-driven and clear-headed - you can interpret people data, spot what matters, and present it in a way that drives decisions

Comfortable with ambiguity and energized by building - you don’t wait for a perfect playbook
