People Business Partner

About the Role

As our People Business Partner for the GoTo team, you'll be a seasoned and strategic People and Culture (PAC) thought partner to a specific set of Corporate functions. Like a superhero, you'll trade between business imperatives and the needs of our GoTroops, contributing hands-on efforts at the strategic level in partnership with relevant client groups, mostly at the executive rank and above. Starting as an individual contributor, your role may evolve into leading a team of one or more People Business Partners down the road. You'll get ample opportunity to work on a variety of global projects, acting as a thought-leader by sharing your knowledge, experience, and people-related best practices among the broader PAC team across the GoTo ecosystem.

• Provide leaders with advice and guidance around their organizational structure to optimize for business objectives in a highly matrixed and dynamic commercial environment.
• Understand your client groups’ key talent, their strengths, and development needs, and actively participate in talent management discussions with relevant leaders.

• Drive global projects through to completion, engaging with L7+ leaders where necessary to achieve relevant outcomes.
• Challenge existing people-related practices if you believe there are better ways of doing things and inspire others to do the same.

• Strong analytical thinking skills in order to analyze people’s data and trends in the GoTo ecosystem.
• Ability to work at a quick pace whilst maintaining appropriate attention to detail and ethical standards.
