Senior People Partner

5–8 years of HR experience, with at least 3–5 years in a true HRBP or business partner capacity — and a people ops foundation that means you can still get hands-on when it matters. Ideally you've supported GTM, Engineering, or mixed business groups at a startup.

Demonstrated ability to independently own performance management, employee relations, and manager coaching — not just support someone else running those processes.

Detail orientation: anticipates stakeholder and cross-functional needs before being asked, thinks through downstream impacts before acting, and executes with near-perfection where it counts — HRIS data moves, employee comms, and anything that touches the employee experience directly.

Genuine AI fluency: actively uses AI tools in your workflow, has a POV on how AI should reshape HR operations, and is energized about automating the manual work.

Business acumen: genuinely curious about the business — how it makes money, where it's headed, and what's getting in the way. Can speak to headcount tradeoffs, org design implications, and connect people recommendations to business outcomes. Doesn't declare victory when a solution is implemented; follows through to actual resolution and measurable impact.

Comfortable facilitating sessions with leaders and employees — from manager enablement workshops to internal comms rollouts on sensitive people topics.

Strong systems thinker who has meaningfully improved or implemented HR tools — not just used them.

Experience at a startup or high-growth company where you had to build, not just operate.

A fresh perspective: can learn Lumos's culture and build for what we actually need — not default to what worked at the last company.

Familiarity with our current stack a plus: Culture Amp, HiBob, Deel (EOR), Sequoia One (PEO).

We also care about whether you would be a good fit for Lumos based on the values and characteristics that define how we achieve outcomes, not just your resume.
