Job description

Urban Company is a tech-driven home services marketplace where customers book trusted professionals for beauty, wellness, cleaning, repairs, and more. Our promise is simple: reliable, high-quality services at home. We achieve this by empowering our service partners with technology, training, financing, and strong brand support—helping them grow while delivering outstanding customer experiences.

About the Role

We are seeking a People Success Partner to play a business-enabler role—crafting people strategies that unlock performance, scalability, and culture. This is not a traditional HRBP role. At Urban Company, you’ll partner directly with business leaders to shape the people agenda, strengthen leadership capability, and build high-talent-density teams that drive business growth.

Key Business Responsibilities

• Strategic People Partnership: Collaborate with business leaders to co-create the annual operating plan, manpower strategy, and people priorities aligned with business objectives.
• Talent as a Growth Driver: Drive talent conversations, succession planning, and performance reviews to build a strong pipeline of future leaders.
• Managerial Capability & Culture: Enable managers with toolkits and programs that help them build thriving teams, strengthen decision-making, and retain top talent.
• Employee Success & Retention: Design engagement levers and listening mechanisms (check-ins, surveys, feedback loops) to surface team pulse, improve alignment, and reduce attrition.
• Performance & Growth Enablement: Facilitate growth pathways, career progression frameworks, and performance conversations that directly impact business outcomes.
• Data-led Insights: Translate people metrics (attrition, engagement, productivity) into actionable strategies for improving organizational health.

What We’re Looking For

• 2–6 years of experience in business partnering, people strategy, or related roles.
• Strong ability to influence leaders and connect people strategy with business impact.
• Analytical, data-driven mindset with strong problem-solving skills.
• High ownership and execution bias, with comfort in fast-paced, growth environments.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.

Why Join Us

• Impact at Scale: Directly shape business outcomes by building high-performing teams.
• Ownership & Growth: Take end-to-end ownership with steep career growth opportunities.
• Learning Environment: Work with leaders from top organizations (Uber, GE, Airtel, Bira91, etc.) and gain exposure to business-critical projects.
• Culture of Hustle + Depth: Experience startup agility combined with structured people practices.
• Inclusive Workplace: Thrive in a diverse, empowering, and equitable environment.

Leaders You’ll Work With

As a People Success Partner, you’ll work closely with some of our top leaders who bring deep expertise from leading organizations:

Shalini Singh – Director

You’ll be directly partnering with leaders like them on high-impact projects, giving you exposure to business-critical decision-making and people strategies that fuel UC’s growth.

At Urban Company, we are committed to providing equal and fair opportunities in employment and creating an inclusive work environment. We endeavor to maintain a work environment free from harassment based on age, colour, physical ability, marital status, parental status, ethnic origin, religion, sexual orientation, or gender identity.
