About the Role

We’re looking for a People Partner to support our fast-growing North American team and serve as our first dedicated HR presence in the U.S. You’ll work closely with managers to build strong, engaged teams - coaching them through team development, performance, and day-to-day people challenges. You’ll lead local HR efforts - from rolling out people programs and handling employee relations to making sure we stay compliant with U.S. employment laws and benefits.

You’ll be part of a collaborative global People team and play a key role in shaping how we support our U.S. employees. You’ll contribute your insight to local HR practices and help tailor global initiatives to fit the U.S. context. This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys working cross-functionally, wants to make an impact, and thrives in a dynamic, fast-paced environment.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Partner with managers to support team growth, development, and engagement
• Act as a coach and trusted advisor on performance, feedback, and team dynamics
• Manage and advise on U.S. benefits programs, including health insurance, and serve as the go-to for employee questions
• Ensure compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local employment laws
• Support employee onboarding and offboarding processes for U.S and Canada-based hires
• Lead or contribute to people-focused projects across culture, DEI, engagement, and more
• Collaborate with the global People team to align practices and share best ideas
• Help shape a positive, inclusive, and high-performance workplace culture

What We’re Looking For:

• 5+ years of experience in a People Partner / HRBP / HR Manager role
• Strong knowledge of U.S. employment law and HR compliance
• Solid experience working with U.S. benefits (especially health plans and insurance)
• Proven ability to coach and support managers through people-related topics
• Hands-on experience in a fast-moving, high-growth company (preferably tech or startup)
• Strong communication, relationship-building, and problem-solving skills
• Comfort with autonomy and ownership, and a collaborative mindset
• Bachelor’s degree in Human Resources, Business, or a related field (HR certification like SHRM-CP or PHR is a plus)

Why Join Buildots?

• Be a key HR voice in a growing, mission-driven global company
• Work with talented, supportive colleagues across time zones and functions
• Real opportunity to make an impact and grow your role as we scale
