You will be expected to challenge leaders, drive hard decisions on talent and structure, and raise the performance bar across the organization.

This role reports to the Director, HR Business Partners, and works closely with the SVP of People and senior leadership across the company.

What You'll Do

  • Strategic partnership: Primary partner to C-suite/Executive G&A, GTM, and Clinical leaders and their teams to shape organizational strategy, team structure, and leadership effectiveness.
  • Build and scale: Help evolve the G&A, GTM, and Clinical organizations as the company grows through hiring, leadership development, and organizational change.
  • Talent and leadership: Coach senior leaders on performance, feedback, and building elite teams. Support leaders through periods of rapid change including scaling, restructuring, and talent upgrades.
  • Organizational effectiveness: Drive clarity around goals, performance expectations, and accountability. Help leaders diagnose organizational challenges and implement solutions quickly and effectively.

  • Experience working in high-growth technology or health-tech companies.
  • Comfortable operating in environments with ambiguity and rapid change.
  • Strong judgment and the ability to balance speed with thoughtful decision-making.


What Success Looks Like

  • G&A, GTM, and Clinical leaders view you as a trusted partner and advisor.
  • The organization operates with increasing clarity, accountability, and performance.
  • Leaders are better equipped to hire, develop, and retain top talent.
  • People systems support speed and growth rather than slowing the business down.
  • Reduced org friction during scaling.

The People Business Partner will directly shape the leadership, culture, and organizational strength of our G&A, GTM and Clinical teams during a critical stage of growth.
