Role
Who you are
- This role is perfect for someone with 5+ years of experience in HRBP or PBP roles, and who’s eager to leverage AI and automation to amplify the PBP/ER team’s impact
- You'll bring an experimental mindset and hands-on experience with AI tools, enhancing our processes and boosting team efficiency
- Your ability to bring structure to complexity—connecting insights to practical, scalable processes—will be key as we align our team’s work with broader business priorities
- If you’re someone who’s comfortable in a fast-changing environment, values autonomy and ownership, and enjoys building systems as much as building relationships—this role could be a great fit
- You have 5+ years of experience as a PBP/HRBP, working closely with senior leaders to support their teams
- You’ve partnered with technical teams (engineering, product, design) and understand their pace, operating norms and challenges
- You embrace an AI and Automation mindset, always on the lookout for innovative tools to streamline processes and enhance efficiency
- You have proven experience with AI or automation tools to improve and innovate workflows
- You know how to build trust with senior leaders, balancing business needs with employee experience and doing both with sound judgment
- You're data-savvy, turning engagement surveys and people metrics into actionable insights that drive business decisions
- You navigate complex situations with sound judgment and empathy, ensuring both individual and business needs are met
- You communicate with clarity and confidence, tailoring your message to influence diverse audiences
- You know how to get things done in writing—not just clearly, but persuasively. You use written communication to influence, align, and drive action across teams and leaders
- You’ve led or contributed to org design and workforce planning, helping shape how teams scale and evolve
- You’ve supported change management efforts, helping leaders and teams navigate transitions effectively
What the job involves
- Join us as a People Business Partner, where you'll have the opportunity to solve meaningful problems, support leaders in navigating team decisions, and help shape how we operate as a PBP/ER team
- In this role, you’ll be a strategic people business partner to leaders in our Build organization, supporting org design, coaching, team effectiveness, and performance
- You’ll also play a key role in helping the PBP/ER team work smarter—using tools like Zapier and AI-enabled systems to test and improve how we operate
- Lead the charge in leveraging AI and automation to revolutionize PBP/ER team workflows, making processes more efficient and impactful
- Work directly with senior leaders to support org design and team changes, ensuring decisions align with business goals and team effectiveness
- Analyze people metrics and engagement data, and translate insights into strategic actions that improve team health and performance
- Partner with Centers of Excellence to design and roll out people programs that are useful, relevant, and well-connected to the needs of the business
- Test and build innovative workflows using tools like Zapier, ensuring our processes are cutting-edge and efficient
- Advise on complex people challenges, offering thoughtful, timely support that balances empathy with sound judgment and business context
- Develop strong, trusted relationships with leaders and stakeholders, becoming a reliable partner who understands both people and business needs

Our take
Even before remote working became the "in thing", freelancers, small business owners, and large organisations have found themselves needing more and more software platforms to serve their operations needs. As people used more software services, Zapier founders saw the need to connect the actions between these softwares and save everyone some time.
Zapier is the largest integration and automation tool for businesses. Since being founded, Zapier has grown its suite of automation offerings across almost every mainstream software service. The company is one of the most successful to come out of Y Combinator, and has also been one of the pioneers of remote working.
Zapier has so far, been able to capitalise heavily on its advantage as first entrants and has had very little actual competition. Software services aren't going anywhere anytime soon and organisations are only going to need more of them. This puts Zapier in a strong place growth-wise but also opens up room for bolder companies to get in on the action. Companies like Airtable and Integromat are already preying on more niche segments of Zapier's market share.

Additional info
- As a fully remote company with 800+ team members across 40+ states, 38 countries, and 18+ timezones, we’ve adopted a culture of asynchronous work. This work style allows teams to collaborate effectively across locations, time zones, skills, and each individual’s energy levels, and empowers employees to work in a setting that fits their needs. In practice, we live on Slack, with most conversations in public channels. It mimics the open-office feel and allows everyone to search the chat logs if they need to find something that happened when they weren’t around
