Job summary

Redgate Software, Inc is seeking a strategic People Partner to partner with Technology and Product leadership, shaping and owning the people strategy that underpins our goals. You’ll sit with the leadership team, shaping roadmaps, headcount plans, and organisation design, while driving retention and onboarding improvements.

You’ll influence senior leaders and push back when needed, embedding AI into how the team works.

Qualifications

• Solid experience as a strategic People Partner or HR Business Partner in a high-growth or fast-changing business, ideally tech or SaaS, partnering directly with product or engineering leadership.
• A commercial mindset: able to connect the business issue behind a people problem and the people issue behind a business problem, with a track record of turning that into commercial outcomes.
• Proven ability to influence senior stakeholders and make decisions stick without relying on formal authority.
• Confident using people metrics (attrition, engagement, hiring velocity, time to fill) to diagnose what's really going on, not just report on it.
• Evidence of shaping how a People team works, not just delivering inside your own area, for example building a framework or fixing a broken process.

Responsibilities

• Sit inside the leadership team's regular rhythm, seeing the roadmap and trade-offs early enough to shape them, not just react when there’s a people problem.
• Full ownership of the people strategy for Technology and Product: headcount plan, org design, succession, and retention, agreed directly with the functional exec.
• Real thought leadership beyond your own patch: spot patterns across functions and bring them to the wider People Partner team.
• Coach and challenge leaders directly, including pushing back on a VP or exec when the data or your judgement says they've got it wrong.
• Find practical ways to bring AI into how the function and the People Partner team work, not as a bolt-on.
