Job description

SUMMARY

The People Business Partner will be a dedicated global People partner. You will build a deep understanding of each function’s strategy, talent and growth plans, then turn that insight into practical people priorities that help teams perform, scale and do the best work of their careers.

You will be a visible and trusted presence for employees across the business, particularly within our US and Utah teams. This role is about protecting our people, amplifying Gozney’s values and ensuring we live the culture we aspire to create. You will coach leaders, support employees through all moments, challenge when standards are not being met and help build teams where accountability, trust and care can coexist.

The role blends strategic partnership with hands‑on execution. You may move from an organization design conversation to supporting an employee relations matter, improving onboarding or helping a manager navigate performance. You will also strengthen the systems and practices that enable Gozney to grow, including our HRIS, surveys, performance reviews and cross‑functional People projects.
