HR Business Partner

HR Business Partner

Do you love being in the trenches with business leaders instead of just sitting in HR meetings? Can you have a hard conversation with a senior stakeholder without flinching? Do you see a spreadsheet of headcount and engagement data and immediately spot the story it's telling?

Then, our HR Business Partner role here at CUBE84 may interest you.

In this gig

• You're in the room where strategy happens: You partner directly with business leaders to align people strategy with growth plans, as someone who pushes back when the plan doesn't add up.
• You see the gaps before they become fires: You drive workforce planning, including hiring demand, skill mapping, and resource optimization, and you spot skill gaps early.
• You make performance management feel human, not bureaucratic: You own the full cycle of goal setting, reviews, and difficult conversations with top performers and low performers.
• You're the person managers call before the difficult conversation, not after: You coach and support managers on team management, feedback, and conflict.
• You read the room before people start walking out the door: You monitor engagement, spot early signs of attrition or burnout, and build retention plays.
• You keep things fair, even when nobody's watching: You monitor internal parity across roles, titles, and compensation, and flag inequities.
• You think two moves ahead on the org chart: You support org design, career pathing, and succession planning.
• You're TA's closest partner, not their approval bottleneck: You work with Talent Acquisition to make hiring fast and high-quality, including interviews and sourcing.
• You steady the ship during change: You act as a change agent during restructures, process overhauls, and leadership transitions.
• You handle the hard stuff with judgment, not a script: You handle employee relations with sensitivity, investigate complaints fairly, and stay compliant with employment law.

It'll be awesome if you

• Have 6-8 years of experience in an HR Business Partner role, ideally within a services/consulting environment (this one's non-negotiable)
• Have a strong grasp of business fundamentals and can hold your own in a room with senior stakeholders
• Have run performance management cycles end to end, including goal setting, reviews, and the tough calls on low performers
• Have a solid working knowledge of employment laws and regulations, and know when to escalate versus handle directly
• Are comfortable analyzing data, including engagement scores, attrition trends, and pay parity, and turning it into a recommendation
• Have handled employee relations issues with discretion and fairness under pressure

More awesome, if you have

• Experience supporting org design or succession planning in a fast-growing company
• Exposure to workforce planning in a project/consulting delivery model (billable resourcing, skill-based staffing)
• A certification in HR (SHRM, CIPD, or similar)
