- Mastery in Org Design & Development: Demonstrated success in leading structural OD initiatives (re-architecting tech pods, spans/layers analysis) and building comprehensive ODev frameworks (engineering career matrices, manager development)

- Analytical Rigor: Highly analytical mindset with the ability to leverage data and workforce metrics to solve complex technical talent challenges

What the job involves
- We need a sophisticated Sr. HR Business Partner (P5) to support our U.S. Product and Engineering (R&D) teams—the technical heartbeat of our company
- You will be the primary HR strategist and organizational consultant for our world-class engineers, product visionaries, and cloud architects. This is a high-impact, strategic role where you will partner directly with executive R&D leadership to design scalable org structures, foster technical talent density, and align people strategy with our rapid product evolution and AI roadmap

- Strategic Organizational Design (OD): Lead complex structural org design initiatives—including engineering pod structures, spans and layers optimization, and technical team realignments—to increase shipping velocity and maximize post-funding scale
- Organizational Development (ODev) & Technical Pathways: Diagnose capability gaps and execute targeted ODev programs. Refine dual-track technical career matrices (IC vs. Management tracks), cultivate technical leadership pipelines, and drive high talent density across R&D
- Global R&D Collaboration: Partner closely with global HR counterparts to ensure seamless alignment, communication, and operational efficiency between U.S. Product/Architecture leaders and international/offshore R&D centers

- Competitive Technical Rewards: Partner with Talent Acquisition and Compensation to benchmark and structure competitive total rewards models that attract and retain top-tier software and security engineers
- Data-Driven Insights: Utilize R&D productivity analytics, engineering turnover trends, and engagement metrics to proactively diagnose organizational health and influence leadership decision-making
- Engineering Leadership Coaching: Provide expert guidance and candid coaching to engineering directors and managers on leadership effectiveness, team dynamics, complex employee relations, and scaling technical culture
Our take
Saviynt’s Identity Governance and Administration platform helps secure access to corporate systems in the cloud such as Workday, Office 365, AWS, Salesforce, SAP and Hadoop. It was created to offer an innovative, modern solution as its founder believed that existing identity services were not optimized.
By spending its early years in stealth mode, developing its product technology and switching to a cloud based model, the company was well prepared for a quick up-scale. This has been achieved partly because of the fact that it favours targeting large companies, boasting clients like Marriott, BP, KuppingerCole and Toyota Connected.
Saviynt faces a major rival in the form of SailPoint, which was an earlier entrant in the space, and went public sooner. However, Saviyntnt is growing rapidly and has converted some notable customers from SailPoint in the process. The company has continually invested in its platform to maintain a competitive edge, earning industry recognition along the way, and has recently concentrated on securing new customers and growing its partner ecosystem.
