Role
Who you are
- Our ideal candidate will be able to comfortably span both strategic planning and highly tactical workloads
- You will need to understand the interplay between talent, culture and business needs and have the experience to navigate and make an impact on those inputs
- If you love variety, a broad scope, and have a passion to work with both experienced and new people managers to drive real change in the business, this role may be for you
- Ideally you’ll have done this before—you have experience in a high-growth scaling environment; you will also have experience partnering with R&D management teams at a Sr. Business Partner level
- You enjoy wearing many hats and are able to be both a strategic partner to the senior leadership team as well as tactical support when needed
- You are process oriented and enjoy creating structure where there may be ambiguity and are skilled at finding creative solutions to non-obvious problems
- You will handle a wide range of complex and highly sensitive employee issues and will maintain confidentiality at all levels of the organization
- You are an excellent communicator in all channels (in-person, over Zoom, in Slack) and you’re able to garner strong working relationships as a result
- You are a people-person and problem solver at heart - you are able to take your passion for helping others and identifying problems to ultimately define solutions and drive impact via a high say/do ratio
- You appreciate working in a team through competing priorities and are able to use your initiative and creative problem solving to confidently manage decision-making
- Ideally you have experience of working remotely and internationally coordinating with team members globally and understand the challenges and opportunities of remote work and communication
- You will be highly approachable and provide a customer service approach to your role ensuring that everyone, locally and internationally, views you as a “go to” person for your business and function
What the job involves
- This is an exciting opportunity to join the global People Business Partnering function at Grafana Labs
- You will report to our Director of People Business Partnering and form a critical part of our R&D Business Partnering team supporting our global leadership team to design, implement and drive our People strategy, all while helping us maintain our culture as we scale
- You’ll have the opportunity to help shape the talent agenda at the same time as rolling your sleeves up to make things happen
- The responsibilities listed below are a sampling of the projects you would help to support and lead
- You will partner directly with our R&D management and leadership teams building trusted advisor status with key stakeholders
- You will design and lead the strategic talent agenda for the global R&D function in partnership with our CTO, VP Product and wider Leadership team
- You will identify needs, gaps and opportunities within current processes and policies as well as partner to ensure sustainable and scalable processes are created
- You will support the international People team by acting as the local expert for UK based projects and initiatives
- You will support new and experienced people managers across the R&D function to ensure we build a strong and consistent approach to people management
- You will partner with our People team to deliver our annual People processes surrounding talent and performance, workforce management, attrition, compensation analysis and learning & development initiatives
- You will have the professional knowledge to actively contribute to the enhancement and delivery of these processes, as well as provide your experienced perspective on how to improve Grafana initiatives on an ongoing basis
Our take
Observability plays a crucial role in software development, where dashboards are pivotal for monitoring the health of IT infrastructure across an organization. However, for developers, the frustration of spending unnecessary time navigating between different dashboards to find the latest information detracts from valuable programming time.
Grafana collaborates closely with its clients to create customizable observability platforms, striving to enhance efficiency in observability. Its offerings include cloud-based data structures, dashboards, API plugins, and collaboration tools. Currently, Grafana boasts over 25M users globally, with a customer base exceeding 5,000, including prominent names like Bloomberg, PJ Morgan Chase, eBay, PayPal, and Sony.
While Grafana provides free plans with a simplified tool package, the Grafana Enterprise Stack offers customized observability solutions on a monthly subscription basis. The company's ongoing strategy revolves around continually improving Grafana to meet users' demands, enhancing functionality with each iteration, and fostering community engagement by enabling users to share their Grafana dashboards with the broader open-source community.
