People Partner (w/ GTM Recruiting)

We are partnering with an AI-powered patent lifecycle assistant that is redefining how law firms and IP teams work. Following our recent $25M Series B, we are accelerating our growth. Our People team is small by design, we value high impact over headcount.

About the Role

We are looking for our first US People Partner to act as the backbone of our North American operations. As we scale, we need someone who can own everything people-related on the ground in Europe: hiring, day-to-day HR, office life, and making sure every person who joins has a great experience from day one. This is not a support role. You'll be the go-to person for the entire US team and work hand-in-hand with the Head of People to build something we’re proud of.

The role is hybrid from their Brooklyn, NY office with a salary range of $120-$150k. Looking for someone with a People Ops background along with some GTM recruiting.

Responsibilities

• GTM Recruitment (The Priority)
• End-to-End Ownership: Run the full funnel for GTM roles (Account Executives, CSMs, BDRs, and Solution Engineers)
• Agency Independence: Your goal is to bring hiring in-house, reducing our reliance on external recruiters through proactive sourcing and storytelling.
• AI-Driven Hiring: Leverage AI tools to optimize your workflow, from building custom agents for interview prep to automated candidate scoring.

• US People Ops & Employee Experience
• Onboarding & Benefits: Manage US-specific payroll, health benefits administration, and compliance. Ensure every US hire feels integrated into the global culture from day one.
• Local Support: Be the point of contact for all US employee queries.
• Engagement: Bridge the US-Europe divide, ensuring our culture remains consistent across time zones.

• Office Management & Events (NYC)
• NYC Hub: Keep our New York office running smoothly.
• Culture Moments: Coordinate monthly US all-hands events, team offsites, and local cohesion initiatives.

Qualifications

• 3–5 years in a People / HR generalist or Talent role, ideally in a SaaS startup or scale-up environment
• Comfortable owning both recruiting and HR ops, you don't wait to be told what needs doing
• Solid understanding of US labor laws, at-will employment, and benefits (401k, health insurance).

Required Skills

• You have a startup mindset: you move fast, figure things out, and don’t need a perfect process to get started
• You’re organized without being rigid - you can handle 10 things at once and nothing falls through the cracks
• You’re a people person in the real sense: people trust you quickly, and you take that seriously
• You care about candidate and employee experience, the details matter to you
• You’re solutions-oriented: when something's broken, you fix it and then make sure it doesn’t break again

Preferred Skills

• Experience with Teamtailor (ATS) and HiBob (HRIS)
• Previous exposure to an international or US-based team, great if you’ve worked across cultures
