Role
Who you are
- 2–4 years of experience in a People Business Partner, HRBP, or similar role
- Experience supporting teams in high-growth or fast-paced environments preferred
- Strong understanding of employee relations and performance management
- Excellent communication and coaching skills
- High judgment and discretion when handling sensitive issues
- Organized and comfortable managing multiple priorities simultaneously
- Genuine enthusiasm for AI, with hands-on experience using AI tools in your day-to-day work
- Bias toward automating your own workflows and a willingness to rethink how work gets done
What the job involves
- We’re looking for a People Business Partner to support our Product-Led Growth Go-To-Market (PLGTM) organization
- In this role, you’ll partner with managers and employees to navigate performance, development, and employee experience while helping the organization scale thoughtfully
- You’ll provide practical guidance to managers, support key people processes, and ensure employee concerns are handled with care and consistency
- This role is ideal for someone who is hands-on, highly responsive, and energized by solving people challenges in fast-growing environments
- Just as importantly, you'll help lead our AI transformation. Every People team member is expected to work AI-first: leveraging AI to move faster and eliminate the manual work that gets in the way of high-value partnering
- You won't just adopt these tools yourself; you'll build them and have a front-row seat to how AI reshapes the way we work and support our teams
- Serve as a trusted advisor to managers across the PLGTM organization
- Provide clear guidance on performance, team dynamics, and people decisions
- Help leaders navigate growth, change, and organizational complexity
- Support performance cycles including goal setting, reviews, and performance improvement plans when needed
- Partner with People team members on talent reviews, internal mobility, and team transitions
- Help identify retention risks and support leaders in addressing them
- Triage and resolve employee concerns with professionalism, empathy, and sound judgment
- Provide managers with guidance on sensitive people matters and ensure appropriate escalation when needed
- Coach managers through common leadership challenges including feedback, performance conversations, and conflict resolution
- Provide practical tools and frameworks that help managers lead effectively
- Track and manage employee cases and requests using ClickUp
- Identify patterns in employee questions or issues and recommend improvements to people processes
- Support rollout of people programs across the organization
- Work AI-first: default to AI tools (including ClickUp Brain and AI Agents) for research, drafting, summarizing, and administrative processes instead of handling them manually
- Build and maintain AI agents and automations that take repetitive people work off the team’s plate
- Coach managers on how AI reshapes their teams: role design, skill expectations, capacity planning, and what “great” looks like in an AI-first org
- Champion adoption across the PLGTM organization by modeling the behavior, sharing what works, and pulling others along
- Monitor emerging AI capabilities and translate them into practical improvements to how we develop and support our people
- What Success Looks Like:
- Managers receive timely, practical support and handle people challenges with greater confidence
- Employee concerns are addressed quickly, consistently, and thoughtfully
- Core people processes run smoothly across the organization
- Managers have the tools and guidance they need to lead effectively
- Manual, repetitive people work is measurably reduced through AI and automation
- Leaders you support are more fluent and more confident in applying AI to how their teams operate
Our take
Clickup provides a set of professional tools for collaborative project management, spreadsheets, document processing and workplace communication which are accessed from a single platform. In contrast to most of the austere, pared-back tools you might find in the workplace, it takes a playful approach, with its programs looking more like fun consumer-focused apps while still being fully-featured.
The company isn't alone in the workplace productivity market, but its advantage comes from its unified platform which encourages users to stay in ClickUp's ecosystem rather than look outside for other tools. Indeed, the vast majority of its users utilise three or more of its products. This has led to strong success in its market, with over 800,000 teams using the platform in enterprises such as IBM, logitech and Spotify.
ClickUp has been the beneficiary of a significant amount of investment, which it has used to develop its product and expand internationally. It continues to launch new features such as "AI Super Agents", surpassed $300 million in ARR, and acquired AI coding platform Codegen. These notable successes support the company as it moves to deliver on its vision of becoming the one app to replace them all.
