Job description

Everpure (NYSE: P) has evolved from storage pioneer to data platform, closing fiscal 2026 with $3.7 billion in revenue, its first billion-dollar quarter, and accelerating growth into FY27. Our strategic agenda spans the companies defining the next era of technology - hyperscalers, AI labs, the AI hardware supply chain, data platform providers, and the broader AI ecosystem.

This type of work-work that changes the world-is what the tech industry was founded on. So, if you're ready to seize the endless opportunities and leave your mark, come join us.

THE ROLE

HR at Everpure is in the middle of an exciting transformation! We're building a connected, high-impact HR organization to support our rapidly growing global workforce. Positioned between HR Operations and HR Business Partners, the People Partner Specialist team delivers scalable, specialized expertise to leaders and managers across our global workforce. As Director, People Partner Specialist, you will architect this function from the ground up, lead a high-performing team, and establish a best-in-class support model globally. This is a unique opportunity to build, lead, and optimize a critical HR function during a period of strategic modernization. If you love the rare combination of designing the system and running the system, this is the job.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Build and lead the Partner Specialist team, owning its charter, budget, staffing plans, and performance standards while shaping a coverage model that delivers one consistent, high-quality experience across every region.
• Design the global tiering framework and routing logic for a function with no precedent, co-creating boundaries with HR Operations and HRBP leaders and owning the final decisions with executive sign-off.
• Lead the pilot, measurement, and scale-up of the service model in partnership with HR Operations and HRBP leaders, using resolution time, manager satisfaction, and HRBP capacity as the markers of success.
• Oversee global labor and employment compliance, working with Legal and works councils to turn regulatory change into clear policy and manager guidance across every operating region.
• Advise senior leaders and their managers on complex people matters and organizational change, coaching them on management practices, team dynamics, and conflict resolution.
• Set the standards for, and govern, the playbooks, tools, and enablement that build manager capability across the entire organization, while leading key manager-facing programs such as performance management, talent reviews, and engagement.

We are primarily an in-office environment and therefore, you will be expected to work from the Santa Clara, CA office in compliance with Everpure's policies, unless you are on PTO, or work travel, or other approved leave.

WHAT YOU BRING

• Track record of leading HR service delivery, HR business partnering, or employee relations work in complex, fast-moving environments, and can describe the outcomes you drove.
• Experience leading and managing teams, particularly across distributed or matrixed teams, and can describe how you built their capability and performance.
• A proven strategic architect with experience designing, launching, and scaling a tiered support model, specialist function, or shared service, and can walk through how you decided what work belonged in each tier.
• Working knowledge of employee relations that lets you route matters well, along with a deep understanding of employment law across multiple countries and experience partnering with Legal and works councils.
• Background in leading manager-facing talent programs or large-scale change, such as reorganizations or reductions in force, as the accountable owner, and can influence senior leaders with sound judgment and strategic thinking.
