We are a production's best ally every step of the way. #OneCastOneCrewCast & Crew is launching a new HR Business Partner model, and this role sits at the heart of it. As an HRBP, you'll serve as a true strategic partner to the business — connecting people strategy to business performance in ways that are visible, measurable, and lasting. This is not a transactional HR role. You won't spend your days processing requests or fielding policy questions. You'll spend them partnering with leaders to build high-performing teams, working through complex organizational challenges, and helping shape a culture where our people — and our business — can do their best work. You will report to the VP, People Experience and operate within a People & Culture team that is intentionally being rebuilt for strategic impact. You are joining at the beginning of something, and your fingerprints will be on how this model takes shape.What You Will DoStrategic PartnershipPartner with business unit leaders on workforce planning, org design, succession, and talent strategyBring a people lens to business decisions earlyTranslate business priorities into actionable people strategies that drive measurable outcomesCounsel and influence senior leaders - bringing both data and judgment to every conversation.Talent & PerformanceLead quarterly talent reviews and calibration sessions within your business unitsCoach managers on performance management from development conversations to difficult feedback and underperformancePartner on individual development plans that connect employee growth to business needsHelp identify high-potential talent and build visibility and opportunity for themCulture & EngagementMonitor team health and engagement within your business units and act on what you findPartner with leaders to build cultures of accountability, inclusion, and psychological safetySupport the rollout and action planning for company-wide engagement surveys (Culture Amp)Be a visible, approachable presence our Crew members, someone they trust and will actually come toOrganizational Effectiveness & ChangeSupport restructuring, team design, and org changes within your business units, from planning through execution and employee experienceLead change management for people-related initiatives, ensuring changes land well and stickPartner on headcount business cases, role design, and workforce planningIdentify organizational friction and help leaders solve it before it becomes a crisisEmployee RelationsHandle complex employee relations matters with sound judgment, empathy, and a clear eye on riskPartner with legal and compliance on sensitive situations, investigations, accommodations, separationsGuide managers through difficult conversations, escalations, and employment decisionsMaintain a working knowledge of employment law and apply it practically in day-to-day advisingPeople Analytics & InsightsUse data to inform your business unit conversations and recommendations, turnover trends, engagement signals, performance patternsPartner on reporting and insights that help leaders make smarter people decisionsLeverage tools including Workday and Culture Amp to surface and act on workforce dataWhat You BringExperience3+ years of progressive HR experience, with at least 3 years in a dedicated HRBP or strategic HR partnership roleBackground in a technology, SaaS, or digital-first company strongly preferred, you understand how fast-moving, product-driven organizations operateProven experience navigating organizational change, including restructuring, reorgs, and transformation initiativesTrack record of building trusted relationships with senior leaders and influencing without authorityExperience with talent management processes: calibration, succession, performance, developmentStrong knowledge of US employment law and employee relations, including handling sensitive investigationsSkills & CapabilitiesBusiness acumen: you understand P&L pressures, org design tradeoffs, and what keeps leaders up at nightCoaching instincts: you make leaders better, not dependent on youChange management fluency: you know how to help organizations move through ambiguity without losing people along the wayData literacy: you can turn people data into a compelling narrative that drives decisionsEmotional intelligence: you navigate complex interpersonal dynamics and difficult conversations with graceJudgment: you know when to act, when to escalate, and when to sit with ambiguityCommunication: you write and speak with clarity and credibility, from frontline employees to the C-suiteTools & SystemsWorkday (HRIS/ATS) experience strongly preferredCulture Amp or comparable engagement platform experience a plusComfortable with AI-enabled tools and digital collaboration platformsMicrosoft Teams experience is a plusEducationBachelor's degree in Human Resources, Business, Psychology, or a related fieldMBA, Master's in HR, or Organizational Development a plusWhat We OfferThe opportunity to shape the People & Culture function and how we engage with the businessA seat at the tableDirect access to and partnership with senior leadershipA company in a compelling growth chapter with a clear path and strong PE backingCompetitive compensation and benefitsHybrid flexibility based in Burbank, CACast & Crew provides a comprehensive package of employee benefits including: Medical, Dental, Vision, PTO, health and wellness programs, employee discounts, and more!
