If you’re eager to be part of a winning team that works together to solve some of the most challenging supply chain challenges every day, let’s talk. 

About the role: 

At project44, our Senior HR Business Partners are more than advisors—they’re embedded, trusted partners who deeply understand the business and aren’t afraid to dig in. Supporting our Go-To-Market (GTM) functions, you’ll help shape a high-performance, inclusive culture where people thrive. You’ll be a coach, a confidante, a strategist, and sometimes, a scrappy doer. You’ll work directly with GTM leaders and cross-functional partners to bring people strategies to life that unlock growth, engagement, and retention. 

Responsibilities:  

  • Partner with GTM leaders to shape and execute talent strategies that align with business goals.
  • Coach leaders on team effectiveness, organizational design, performance management, and career development.
  • Use data and insights to inform decisions and shape people programs.
  • Lead and deliver programs that boost engagement, performance, and retention across global teams.
  • Collaborate with Talent Acquisition, L&D, Legal, Finance, IT, and others to build seamless employee experiences.
  • Guide and resolve complex employee relations matters with empathy and rigor.
  • Be an active contributor to core people processes—succession planning, compensation cycles, feedback programs, and more.
  • Influence with credibility and confidence across all levels, from individual contributors to the C-suite.
  • Balance strategic foresight with willingness to dive into the details—no task too small or big.
  • Embrace and foster our in-office culture—a minimum of three days a week in our HQ to connect, collaborate, and build together. 

Requirements:

  • 8-10+ years of progressive HR experience, including direct HRBP support to senior GTM leaders in SaaS or high-growth tech environments.
  • Tech-forward mindset—you’re excited by AI, data, automation, and finding smarter ways to work.
  • Exceptional emotional intelligence, strong instincts, and ability to read between the lines.
  • Resilience and grit—you stay calm, composed, and proactive under pressure.
  • Ability to build strong, trusted relationships at all levels of the organization.
  • Experience working independently and managing competing priorities with poise.
  • Agile mindset—able to pivot quickly and thrive in ambiguity.
  • Strong communication, influencing, and problem-solving skills.
  • Deep sense of discretion, professionalism, and integrity.
  • A team-first mentality with no ego, and a bias for action.

We're constantly working to improve, and we accept our responsibility to elevate the voices left in the margins. It is on every one of us. 

Our focus on inclusion manifests in the way we hire, the customers we serve, and the regions we prioritize. We're building a company that every one of us at project44 is proud to work for: a company that celebrates you for being you. 

We pride ourselves on celebrating everyone — project44 is an equal opportunity employer actively working on creating a diverse and inclusive work environment where underrepresented groups can thrive.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
