We’re hiring our first People Partner at Hightouch — a senior, fully autonomous partner who will help shape how we support managers and employees as we continue to scale globally. You’ll work closely with GTM leaders and managers across the company, acting as a trusted advisor on everything from employee relations to performance to compensation. You won’t inherit a fully built playbook — you’ll help create it. If you’ve worked in a high-growth, global startup and enjoy operating with judgment, nuance, and impact, this role gives you the opportunity to leave a meaningful imprint on how People Partnering is done at Hightouch. This role reports directly to the Head of People Operations.
Job Responsibility:
Own employee relations across our global organization, handling sensitive and complex situations with sound judgment, and working closely with our EOR partners to navigate local employment laws
Partner with managers to navigate performance management, feedback, role clarity, and growth conversations with employees
Design and deliver coaching and training for managers that raises the bar
Partner closely with Legal, Finance, and People Ops to assess risk, ensure compliance, and drive sound people decisions across geographies
Support managers with compensation decisions, helping them make thoughtful, consistent calls within our frameworks and constraints
Contribute to the development and scaling of People programs by pressure-testing what works in practice and refining approaches based on real manager needs
Help evolve our People Ops processes and systems so they keep pace with rapid growth while setting us up well for what’s next
Requirements:

Comfort operating at the Executive level — able to challenge, align, and coach leaders with credibility
Strong business acumen with the ability to quickly ramp, dive into details, and operate effectively amid ambiguity
Excellent communication skills, including clear writing, crisp synthesis, and direct recommendations
Experience partnering across multiple geographies (e.g., US, EMEA, APAC)
Office requirement: 2-3 days a week in NYC
What we offer:
meaningful equity compensation in the form of ISO options
offer early exercise and a 10-year post-termination exercise window
