Senior People Business Partner, Temporary

New York (Hybrid)

Our mission: eliminating every barrier to mental health.

Spring Health is a global mental health company on a mission to eliminate every barrier to mental health. We're building a world where getting support is simple, personal, and built around the person, so care can continue through every job, move, health plan, and life stage.

Our AI-native platform helps us deliver personalized support across self-guided tools, coaching, therapy, medication management, and specialty care. With outcomes independently validated by JAMA Network Open and the Validation Institute, Spring Health reaches more than 170 million people worldwide through leading employers, health plans, and partners.

As an AI-native company, we believe technology should expand the reach, quality, and humanity of care. Every Spring Health team member is expected to use AI tools thoughtfully, apply human judgment to AI outputs, and keep building AI fluency in ways that support their role and our mission.

We’re hiring a temporary Senior People Business Partner (PBP) to provide parental leave coverage on our People Business Partner team. Each role is a fixed-term assignment of approximately four months.

The PBP will step into an established client group - Revenue, R&D, or G&A functions - and serve as the day-to-day People partner for managers and employees in that function while the incumbent PBP is on leave. This is a continuity role, not a build role. Success looks like managers and employees experiencing no drop-off in support, in-flight People cycles landing on schedule, and a clean handback when the incumbent returns. It’s a strong fit for an experienced PBP who can ramp fast, operate with judgment in ambiguity, and is genuinely comfortable inheriting someone else’s context rather than reshaping it. This temporary role operates on a hybrid model with 2-3 days per week required in-office at our NYC HQ. 

What you’ll do:

  • Serve as the primary People point of contact for your assigned client group, partnering with managers and employees on performance, development, engagement, and organizational questions
  • Own employee relations matters end-to-end — intake, investigation, documentation, and resolution — escalating complex or high-risk situations appropriately
  • Coach managers through day-to-day people situations: performance concerns, team dynamics, difficult conversations, and org changes already in motion
  • Carry in-flight People programs across the finish line, including performance cycles, talent reviews, compensation planning, and engagement survey follow-through
  • Partner with COE teams (Talent Acquisition, Total Rewards, People Ops & Employee Experience, Compliance, Legal) to execute programs within your client group
  • Support org changes, role changes, onboarding, and offboarding for your function
  • Maintain clear documentation and a running handover record so the returning PBP can pick things up cleanly
  • Flag risks and open items early rather than absorbing them quietly

What success looks like in this role:

  • Managers and employees in your client group report consistent, responsive support throughout the coverage period
  • In-flight People cycles and programs complete on time with no slippage attributable to the transition
  • Employee relations matters are resolved or cleanly escalated, with complete documentation
  • The returning PBP receives a thorough, well-organized handback with no surprises

What you'll bring:

  • 6+ years of progressively responsible HRBP or People Generalist experience
  • Demonstrated ability to ramp quickly and operate independently within an existing client group — you’ve stepped into unfamiliar contexts and been effective within weeks
  • Strong employee relations depth, including investigations, documentation, and risk assessment
  • Practical command of core HR disciplines: performance management, manager coaching, org design fundamentals, and compensation basics
  • Working knowledge of labor and employment law
  • Excellent written and verbal communication; credible with individual contributors, managers, and senior leaders alike
  • Comfort with people data, analytics and reporting to inform recommendations
  • High EQ and discretion in handling sensitive information
  • Sound judgment about what to decide, what to escalate, and what to leave for the returning PBP
  • Working knowledge of Google Workspace (Docs, Sheets, Slides, Forms)

Nice to have:

  • Prior experience in interim, fractional, or leave-coverage HRBP assignments
  • Experience supporting Revenue (Sales, CS, Partnerships), R&D (Product, Engineering, Data), or G&A (Finance, Legal, Marketing, People) client groups
  • High-growth startup or technology company experience
  • Exposure to HR technology or People analytics platforms

The target base salary range for this position is $129,780 - $164,450. Individual pay may vary from the target range and is determined by a number of factors including experience, location, internal pay equity, and other relevant business considerations. We review all employee pay and compensation programs annually using Radford Global Compensation Database at minimum to ensure competitive and fair pay.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 07/31/2029

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.
