Job Description


HR Business Partner — Build the People Engine of a Global Remote Team


About Us

We’re one of the fastest-growing companies helping law firms scale using offshore talent — and we’re just getting started.

Founder-led. Remote-first. High-performance. High-trust.

We operate across multiple continents with a world-class distributed team. Our people systems and culture are not side projects. They are the backbone of our scale.

We don’t do bureaucracy or fluff. We build smart systems, enforce clear standards, and create an environment where elite performers thrive.


The Role

We’re hiring a high-impact HR Business Partner to act as a true strategic partner to leadership.

This is not a transactional HR role. Our global partners handle local labor laws and payroll complexity. Your job is higher leverage.

You’ll align people strategy with business growth. You’ll coach leaders. You’ll strengthen accountability. You’ll shape culture intentionally. And you’ll help us scale without losing standards.

You are not here to maintain HR.

You are here to evolve it.


Why This Role Rocks

Strategic Seat at the Table:

You partner directly with leadership to shape performance, retention, and org design.

Real Influence:

You coach managers through high-stakes conversations and performance decisions.

Global Scope:

You help shape the experience of a multicultural, fully distributed team.

Pure Focus:

You spend your time on culture, engagement, leadership development, and performance — not compliance paperwork.


What You’ll Actually Do

Partner with department leaders to translate business goals into people strategy.

Coach managers on performance management, goal clarity, feedback loops, and talent development.

Lead employee relations matters with structure and fairness.

Drive engagement, recognition, and retention initiatives across a remote global team.

Use HR data and insights to identify trends in turnover, performance gaps, and development opportunities.

Shape org design and succession thinking as we scale.

Refine and elevate our People Engine as we double in size.


You’ll Thrive Here If You…

Have 5+ years of progressive HR experience, ideally in fast-paced, remote or global environments.

Have operated as a true partner to leadership — not just an administrator.

Balance high empathy with high standards.

Are comfortable addressing underperformance directly and constructively.

Think in systems and outcomes, not policies and process for their own sake.

Are tech-forward and use HRIS tools to drive insight and automation.


This Role Isn’t for You If…

You’re most comfortable executing established processes rather than shaping strategy.

You prefer slow-moving corporate environments.

You avoid difficult conversations.

You want a compliance-first role (our partners handle that).


Requirements

5+ years of HR experience, including experience partnering with leaders.

Strong background in employee relations, engagement, and organizational development.

Experience supporting remote and/or globally distributed teams.

Exceptional communication skills — calm, clear, and assertive across cultures.

Familiarity with modern HRIS tools (Workday, BambooHR, Rippling, HiBob, or similar).


What We Offer

Ownership and strategic impact.

Direct access to leadership.

A high-performance culture built on trust and accountability.

Competitive compensation based on experience.

True remote-first structure.

A seat at the table as we scale globally.
