What the job involves
- Bizzabo is looking for a hands-on, people-first People Business Partner to join our evolving People Team
- This role will be a close partner to leaders and employees across our North American GTM teams, focused on strengthening culture, engagement, and day-to-day people operations
- This isn’t a traditional HR role
- You’ll work at the intersection of people, culture, and business — combining strong operational execution with genuine human connection
- You’ll support a distributed organization in a fast-moving, ever-changing industry
- If you’re the kind of person who notices what’s missing, rolls up your sleeves, and builds what’s next, you’ll feel right at home here
- We’re operating like a startup: agile, bold, and deeply human-centric
- Be a thought partner to managers on people leadership, from day-to-day feedback and performance conversations to employee relations, difficult situations, and building strong, engaged teams
- Owning performance review cycles and engagement surveys — with an eye toward clarity and impact
- Be a sounding board for employees, handling sensitive topics with empathy and discretion
- Be a trusted point of contact for employees and managers across the U.S. and Canada
- Support the full employee lifecycle: onboarding, changes, leaves, offboarding, and everything in between
- Partner closely with the Finance team on payroll inputs, benefits administration, and employment-related compliance (no payroll processing required)
- Ensure people processes are clear, compliant, and human
- Actively support and evolve our company culture across regions, with sensitivity to local nuances
- Help design and run engagement initiatives, rituals, and programs that strengthen connection in a hybrid/remote environment
- Partner with leadership on initiatives that support motivation, well-being, and energy
- Own and maintain People systems (HRIS, documentation, policies)
- Oversee global total rewards programs (e.g., parental leave, sabbatical)
- Identify opportunities to streamline processes and improve the employee experience as we scale
- Use data and insights (engagement, feedback, trends) to inform decisions and People Team priorities
Our take
Recent years have seen a boost in hybrid online/offline events, and the logistical and financial benefits hybrid events offer over in-person events are clear. Bizzabo, originally a platform offering event organizers a range of tools to help with tasks like website building, networking, and ticketing, was swift in 2020 to adapt its cloud-architecture platform to its customers’ new virtual event requirements.
Bizzabo's Event Experience OS is a data-rich open platform that allows Event Experience Leaders to manage events, engage audiences, activate communities, and deliver business outcomes — all while keeping attendee data private and secure.
Bizzabo is continuing to develop and incorporate new features into its Event Experience OS, including tools powered by the technology and talent from its recent acquisitions. And with a successful 2024, being recognized as a Leader in the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Event Technology Platforms and The Forrester Wave™: All-In-One Event Management Platforms as well as boasting impressive growth through the year, the company will no doubt see even more success going forward.
