Senior HRBP

About the Role

As Factory scales through hyper-growth off the back of our Series C, we are seeking a Founding HRBP to serve as a trusted partner to leaders across the org. This is a foundational role: you’ll provide hands-on partnership while helping build the HRBP function itself - the frameworks, playbooks, and practices that become its backbone as the company scales.

What you will do and achieve

• Strategic Partnership & Org Effectiveness
• •Advise functional leaders on org design, workforce planning, and growth plans as the company scales.
• •Own headcount planning and data integrity for your client groups
• •Partner with leadership to build the playbooks and frameworks for org design, performance calibration, comp cycles, career ladders, headcount - that become the foundation for the HRBP function as it grows

• Employee Relations & Coaching
• •Serve as a trusted advisor on employee relations, exercising judgment on what’s a coaching moment, a policy issue, or an escalation
• •Coach leaders and managers on performance, feedback, and people leadership, building trust and transparency

Contribute to L&D, People Program, and Total Rewards initiatives.

• Performance, Comp & Data
• •Run performance reviews and the comp cycle for your client groups end to end - calibration, consistency, communication
• •Bring a data- and metrics-driven approach - attrition, span of control, performance distribution to flag org risk before it becomes a retention problem

• AI & Ways of Working
• •Use AI tools, including Factory’s own product, as a core part of how you operate - dogfooding what we build
• •Operate at both altitudes: build durable systems while running the day-to-day operational load, often in the same week

Qualifications

• •8+ years in HR, with a strong track record as an HRBP or People Partner in high-growth, fast-paced tech companies
• •Strong business acumen - you understand how the company makes money and decisions well enough to be a credible partner to functional leaders
• •Curious and a real problem solver - you work root causes instead of pattern-matching to the nearest existing policy
• •Genuinely employee-focused - you build for the people using the systems you design
• •Excellent interpersonal and communication skills; able to build trust at all levels of the company
• •Comfortable operating in both strategic and hands-on capacities in a dynamic, fast-changing environment
• •Experience partnering with Finance on headcount planning and compensation strategy
