We’re looking for a Senior HR Business Partner to support our Engineering and Product teams
This is a role for someone who wants to be close to the business. You’ll work directly with leaders and managers on the people decisions that matter most as their teams grow: developing exceptional talent, building stronger managers, designing organizations, raising the performance bar and solving difficult people problems quickly
You’ll also help build the systems behind that work. Mercor is still early, and many of the development programs and talent practices we need do not exist yet. We’re looking for someone who has built from 0 to 1 before and is excited to do it again
Partner directly with Engineering and Product leaders on talent, organizational and people decisions
Coach managers on performance, feedback, team effectiveness, development and difficult employee situations
Identify what our highest-performing employees need to continue growing at Mercor and turn those needs into practical development opportunities
Build development programs from 0 to 1, from identifying the problem through design, launch, adoption and iteration
Partner with leaders on organizational design, role clarity, succession planning and talent movement as teams scale
Run talent and performance processes for EPD while keeping the focus on judgment and outcomes rather than process for its own sake
Spot patterns across teams and turn them into clear recommendations for leaders and the People team
Work across Recruiting, People Operations and the broader People team to solve problems end to end
Move quickly between strategic questions and hands-on execution. You should be equally comfortable advising a senior leader and building the first version of something yourself
