We’re empowering repair shops to rise above the daily grind, create meaningful connections with their customers, and lead the industry forward - one interaction at a time. Come build with us. Join the journey. Shape the future of auto repair. Working the Tekmetric Way At Tekmetric, we’re building a culture where winning matters - not for ego, but because when our customers win, we win together. We move fast, stay curious, and take full ownership of our results — no excuses, no finger-pointing. If you thrive in ambiguity, take initiative, and view honest feedback as fuel for growth, you’ll feel right at home here. We’re direct but respectful, ambitious yet grounded, and collaborative at every level. Everyone leads through impact and is encouraged to speak up, share ideas, and challenge assumptions (even your manager’s). This is a place for builders, not bystanders. Success here takes focus, follow-through, and a willingness to roll up your sleeves — but if you’re driven by meaningful work and real results, it’s deeply rewarding. You’ll join a team that cares about the work, supports one another, and takes smart risks to achieve bold goals. Be yourself, stay mission-focused, and you’ll thrive. If that energizes you, we can’t wait to meet you. We offer hybrid and remote work models based on your proximity to our office hubs. Because we value in-person collaboration, travel is an expected part of every role. We come together several times a year for team and company-wide offsites to align on goals and strengthen relationships. Attendance at these events is expected and fully supported. What You’ll Do We’re looking for a People Partner who is energized by developing leaders and building high-performing teams — someone who views talent development as a strategic lever, not a program to manage. This is not a traditional HRBP role. We have specialists who own compliance, benefits, and compensation. What we need here is someone who is exceptionally good at one thing: making the leaders and teams around them better. You’ll be embedded in the business, operating as a trusted advisor to managers and senior leaders in your assigned divisions, and you’ll own the outcomes — not just the process. We’re open to candidates who have also built this skill set outside of traditional HR. If your background is in sales enablement, talent management, organizational development, executive coaching, or a strategic leadership role where developing others was central to your work — we want to hear from you. What matters is your track record of making leaders measurably better and your instinct for where people and organizational problems are heading before they surface. You’ll report to the Director of People and operate as a senior individual contributor embedded in the business. You will Be a Strategic Partner. Serve as the embedded People Partner for Revenue and Customer leaders, acting as a trusted advisor who improves team effectiveness, drives business outcomes, and helps leaders navigate ambiguity, scale, and organizational change. Develop & Coach Leaders. Coach leaders through performance, conduct, development, and retention decisions while strengthening leadership capability across the organization. Drive performance management, calibration, succession planning, and talent development initiatives, including identifying emerging leaders and building intentional paths toward management readiness. Navigate Org Health. Use engagement data, attrition signals, and pattern recognition to get underneath team health issues and performance gaps — then bring leaders a point of view, not just a summary. Lead Through Friction. Be the steady hand when things get hard. Coach leaders to address people\'s issues early and decisively — before they become formal matters. When situations do escalate, navigate them with sound judgment, high integrity, and a clear escalation path. Partner Across People Team. Work closely with TA, L&D, and Total Rewards on hiring strategy, onboarding, workforce planning, and cross-functional initiatives. What You’ll Bring We’re looking for someone who is deeply passionate about developing talent and building high-performing organizations. You see talent development as a strategic advantage in a scaling company—not simply a program to manage. You’re future-oriented, highly collaborative, and bring a technology-first mindset to how you work, solve problems, and build for scale. You operate with high ownership and strong business judgment. You don’t wait to be told where the gaps are—you identify them early, bring clarity to ambiguity, and create structure where it accelerates outcomes. Whether your background is in HR, consulting, sales leadership, L&D, or organizational development, what matters most is your ability to influence leaders, elevate teams, and drive meaningful business impact. What We’re Looking For Talent Development & Leadership Coaching. Deep conviction in developing people and leaders as a core driver of company performance. You have strong talent assessment instincts, and can point to measurable outcomes in leadership growth, retention, and team effectiveness. Executive Presence & High EQ. Ability to navigate difficult conversations with steadiness, sound judgment, and integrity. You communicate with both directness and empathy, adapt your style to the audience, and build trust quickly across all levels of the organization. High Agency & Change Leadership. Comfort operating in fast-moving, ambiguous environments with a bias for action. You bring structure and process where needed—not for complexity’s sake, but to unlock scale, clarity, and stronger execution. Cross-Functional Collaboration & Technology Fluency. Exceptional collaborator across the People team and business functions, with a strong orientation toward leveraging AI and technology to improve decision-making, workflows, and organizational effectiveness. Experience. 6–8+ years in a strategic talent role within a high-growth or technology environment, including proven experience partnering with revenue and/or customer teams in a SaaS context. You\'ve owned senior stakeholder relationships across a meaningful business segment and can speak clearly to the impact you\'ve driven. We don’t require a traditional HR background. We have specialists for compliance, compensation, and benefits. What matters most is your ability to develop leaders, drive organizational effectiveness, and make the people around you better. If that’s where you do your best work, we’d love to meet you.
