Global Business Partner 1

🌟 Global Business Partner 🌍✨ DENVER / Hybrid

Strategic people-and-organization partner • senior builder • business thinker • hands-on doer

This is not “just another HRBP role.” This is a chance to help shape a global Product & Engineering organization as it evolves, scales and matures its operating model. You’ll partner with senior technical leaders through real organizational complexity, connecting people strategy to business outcomes, strengthening leadership capability, and helping teams work better as Pax8 continues to grow. 🚀

You’ll be close to the work that matters: organization design, workforce planning, operating effectiveness, succession, leadership capability and large-scale change. And yes, there will still be moments where you’ll need to roll up your sleeves, handle the tricky people stuff, coach leaders through ambiguity and help make things happen. That altitude shift is part of the magic. ✨

You’ll also be connected to one of the most exciting shifts in the industry: how teams think about AI-native and agentic workforces. Our Product & Engineering leaders are helping shape what that means internally, so this role has genuine opportunity to influence cutting-edge work , not simply support an existing model. 🤖🌐

We’re looking for someone with strong business judgement, technical curiosity, and enough humility to laugh at themselves along the way. It’s a fun ride. Challenging, fast-moving, and genuinely fun. 🎢

🌈 What You’ll Do

💡 Shape people-and-organization strategy: Partner with senior Product & Engineering leaders to translate business priorities into practical people, organization and workforce plans.

🧭 Lead through ambiguity: Help leaders make sense of complex, evolving challenges — from structure and decision rights to leadership capability, capacity, incentives and operating model.

🏗️ Drive org design and operating effectiveness: Support scalable organization design, role clarity, ways of working and operating rhythms that help technical teams move faster and work smarter.

📈 Build future-ready talent plans: Bring focus to succession, leadership capability, critical skills, workforce planning and talent strategies that support growth and performance.

⚡ Champion change that sticks: Lead and support large-scale change, helping leaders communicate clearly, build trust quickly and bring people with them.

🤝 Coach and influence leaders: Act as a trusted partner to technical leaders — able to challenge thinking, ask the right questions, and support difficult conversations with confidence and care.

🛠️ Execute brilliantly: Move between strategic advisory and hands-on delivery. You’ll be equally comfortable in executive conversations, working sessions, employee matters and the detailed follow-through that makes change real.

🌍 Connect across the organization: Collaborate with People, Product, Engineering and cross-functional partners globally to create joined-up, practical solutions.

🎉 Why You’ll Love It

🚀 Real strategic impact: You’ll help mature a global Product & Engineering organization at a moment where people, technology and operating models are changing quickly.

🤖 Cutting-edge work: You’ll be close to the thinking around AI-native and agentic workforces — helping shape what that looks like practically inside the business.

🧠 Brilliant, curious leaders: You’ll work with people who care about building great teams, making good decisions and doing the work properly.

🤗 Trust, challenge and collaboration: You’ll build strong relationships, challenge constructively, and be part of a team that values humour, honesty and getting stuck in.

🌱 Room to grow: You’ll deepen your expertise across workforce planning, organization design, leadership development, change and strategic partnering.

🏆 What You Bring

🌎 Senior business partnering experience: Proven experience partnering with senior leaders across global, complex or fast-scaling environments.

💻 Strong technical aptitude: Experience supporting Product, Engineering, Technology or technical functions would be a real advantage. You don’t need to be an engineer, but you do need to credibly engage with technical leaders, understand complex technology conversations and stay connected to industry trends.

🧩 Systems thinking: You look beyond the surface issue and can spot whether the real challenge is structure, decision rights, leadership capability, capacity, incentives, ways of working or the operating model.

🎯 Strategic and practical: You can operate at altitude, connect people strategy to business outcomes, and then get into the detail to drive execution.

🗣️ Strong influence and communication: You build trust quickly, bring clarity to ambiguity, and can influence across levels, functions and geographies.

📊 Insight-led judgement: You use data, patterns and context to inform decisions — without losing the human lens.

❤️ People-first maturity: You bring empathy, discretion and resilience, especially in difficult or sensitive situations.

😄 A bit of spark: You’re someone people want to work with — collaborative, commercially minded, humble enough to laugh at yourself, and happy to grab a drink after a big week.

✨ Why Pax8?

At Pax8, we’re not just transforming the cloud commerce marketplace , we’re helping transform how people, teams and technology come together to do great work. 🌟
