Role
Who you are

- Ability to influence without authority and build trust across levels
- Track record of improving manager effectiveness and organizational health
- Data-informed mindset with strong qualitative judgment

What the job involves
- Reports to: VP of People & Talent
- The mission of the Director of People / HR Business Partner is to help build a company where great people do their best work - and managers are equipped to lead with clarity, consistency, and care
- In this role, you’ll partner closely with senior leaders to strengthen manager effectiveness, organizational health, and core people programs as Ambience continues to scale
- You’ll operate as both a trusted advisor and a hands-on builder — bringing structure where needed, designing systems that last, and helping leaders navigate complex people challenges with confidence
- This is a highly impactful role for someone who enjoys operating at the intersection of strategy and execution in a fast-growing environment
- Partner closely with senior leaders to improve manager effectiveness, team health, and organizational clarity
- Design and roll out core people programs (e.g., performance management, career frameworks, manager enablement) that scale with the business
- Coach managers and leaders through real, high-impact people situations — from feedback and performance to team dynamics and growth
- Proactively identify organizational risks and help leaders address issues before they become reactive
- Build repeatable frameworks and tools that reduce dependency on ad hoc People support
- Use data and qualitative insights to inform recommendations and guide action
- Drive adoption and change, not just alignment, as new programs and processes are introduced
Our take
Healthcare providers often find themselves overwhelmed by administrative duties like form filing and record coding, detracting from their primary focus on patient care. While these tasks are essential for billing and compliance, they are time-consuming and prone to errors.
In response to this challenge, Ambience Healthcare offers an AI-powered "operating system" designed specifically for healthcare organizations. Its suite of tools automates documentation, coding, and referrals, streamlining workflows for clinicians while enhancing accuracy.
With substantial funding, the company is expanding its business in the US and hopes top potentially include diagnosis in the future. While facing competition from startups like Corti and Babla, Ambience is well-positioned with strong investor backing and a clear focus.
