Senior HR Business Partner

Location: Remote, must work full-time in Central Standard Time (CST), aligned to US teams Employment Type: Full-time Reports to: People Leadership Function: People / Human Resources

About the Company

We are a rapidly growing, U.S.-based product engineering and digital transformation consultancy with a strong track record of helping enterprise companies innovate, modernize, and accelerate. We partner with leading organizations across financial services and enterprise sectors, delivering product strategy, platform modernization, and AI-driven solutions.

We are a lean, high-ownership organization. We move quickly, decide quickly, and empower our people to make real decisions. That culture is central to who we are and to who succeeds here.

About the Role

We are scaling our US workforce — roughly 100 people today, and growing — while evolving from a staff-augmentation model toward more project-based, outcome-based delivery. As that shift accelerates, our people function needs to sit closer to both our employees and our clients.

This is a senior, hands-on HR Business Partner who fully owns the employee lifecycle for our US team and operates as a driver, not a support function. Most HRBPs seek information and approvals; we need the opposite. This person walks in, defines best practice, and gets it done — including steering the leadership team on what needs to happen and how it should be managed.

The role is also client-facing. When a client raises a performance concern about one of our team members, this HRBP engages the client directly, understands what is needed, and drives the issue to resolution rather than waiting for someone else to act. We will empower this person to make decisions and own the outcomes.

Key Responsibilities

Employee Lifecycle Ownership (Hire-to-Retire)

• Own the full employee lifecycle for the US team, from onboarding through offboarding.
• Lead performance appraisals, performance management, and exits with sound judgment and legal care.
• Design and drive learning, development, and career-growth initiatives.

Engagement & Retention

• Own employee engagement and retention across a distributed US workforce.
• Proactively surface and resolve people issues before they escalate.
• Serve as a trusted, credible point of contact for US employees.

Client Coordination

• Act as a direct point of contact for clients on team-member performance and engagement matters.
• Partner with clients on overall project health and delivery quality as we expand outcome-based engagements.

US Employment Compliance (Mandatory Expertise)

• Maintain expert, current knowledge of US federal and state-by-state employment law, benefits, and regulations.
• Advise leadership clearly on what can and cannot be done in each state.
• Manage sensitive situations — performance, exits, disputes — quickly and decisively without exposing the company to legal risk.

Leadership Partnership

• Partner with and influence senior leadership, setting best practice and driving people decisions.
• Support recruitment efforts, which are led from India, without owning the recruiting function.

Required Qualifications

• 10+ years of progressive HR experience at senior HR manager, HRBP, or HR director level.
• Deep, demonstrable expertise in US employment law across multiple states — including benefits, compliance, terminations, and risk management. This is mandatory.
• Proven experience owning the full employee lifecycle for a US-based workforce.
• Track record of operating as an independent decision-maker who sets direction rather than seeking approvals.
• Excellent spoken and written English, with the confidence to communicate directly with US leadership and clients.
• Able to work full-time on Central Standard Time (CST).

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience supporting US teams from Latin America or another remote/nearshore location.
• Background in professional services, IT or technology consulting, or staffing — environments where people are the product.
• Experience in fast-paced, lean organizations where speed and ownership are cultural norms.
• Client-facing or account-adjacent HR experience.
• SHRM-CP/SCP, SPHR, or equivalent HR certification.
• Studied or worked in the US before returning to home country.

Ideal Candidate Profile

You are:

• A driver, not an approval-seeker — you identify best practice and get it done, and you can steer leadership to the right decision.
• Fast — you understand the environment on day one and start executing on day two, not in month three.
• Independent and accountable — you own decisions and their outcomes without hand-holding.
• Credible with leadership — comfortable partnering with, and pushing back on, senior stakeholders.
• Composed in client-facing moments, including difficult performance conversations.
• Deeply fluent in US employment law — able to make the tough call quickly while protecting the business.

Why Join Us

• Own the US people function at an established consultancy serving world-class financial-services clients.
• Real autonomy and decision-making authority in a lean, high-trust organization.
• A growing team and an evolving delivery model that give you room to shape how HR operates.
