About the role

We are partnering with a global technology organization specializing in payment solutions and commerce enablement to identify a HR Business Partner Director to support high-impact Sales and Product leadership teams.

This global organization supports retail, e-commerce, and digital businesses with platforms that streamline transactions, enhance customer experiences, and enable scalable growth. The environment is fast-paced and highly dynamic, with a strong focus on leveraging technology and talent to drive performance.

Role Overview:

This is a business-first leadership role where HR is a secondary lens. The ideal candidate is a strategic operator who connects people, structure, and performance to business outcomes including revenue, efficiency, and growth. You will partner directly with VP and senior leaders across Sales and Product (approx. 15 leaders), advising on organizational design, workforce strategy, and operational effectiveness.

Key Responsibilities:

• Act as a strategic partner to senior leadership, influencing organizational structure and workforce strategy
• Align people strategy to business outcomes, including revenue growth, efficiency, and scalability
• Identify gaps across teams, workflows, and talent, and implement solutions to improve performance
• Support and influence VP and executive-level conversations with confidence and credibility
• Drive organizational design, workforce planning, and talent strategy for Sales and Product organizations
• Partner on operational and financial planning, tying headcount and productivity to business performance
• Lead and develop HR support structure over time (future direct report expected post-conversion)
• Leverage HRIS systems, analytics, and AI tools to drive insights and decision-making
• Operate in a fast-paced, evolving environment with a strong focus on execution and results

Qualifications:

• 8+ years of progressive experience (ideal ~15 years; open to strong candidates with 5–7 years who can level up quickly)
• MBA or equivalent advanced business degree required
• SHRM-SCP or SPHR preferred
• Proven ability to operate as a business leader with HR as a supporting function
• Strong executive presence with experience supporting VP and senior leadership teams
• Demonstrated P&L literacy and comfort with operational and financial metrics
• Experience supporting Sales and/or Product organizations, particularly during growth or transformation
• Expertise in organizational design, workforce planning, and performance strategy
• Experience operating in ambiguous, fast-moving environments
• Familiarity with HRIS systems, Microsoft Office, and AI tools (e.g., Claude, Copilot)
• Preferred: experience in product-led or high-growth technology environments

What They’re Looking For:

• A true business leader who uses HR as a lever, not a core identity
• Someone who can drive strategy, challenge assumptions, and influence outcomes
• Not a traditional HR specialist focused on recruiting or DEI-only backgrounds
• Strong ability to optimize human capital for business performance and growth

This is a unique opportunity for a high-impact business-minded HR leader who wants to shape organizational strategy and directly influence growth at scale.
