People Business Partner (GTM)

Join Relay, an innovative and high-growth fintech company, as a People Business Partner. In this role, you will treat performance, talent, and leadership effectiveness as products, implement a multi-quarter people strategy, and use experimentation as the primary mechanism for change. You will partner with managers, directors, and VPs on org design, performance, succession, and leadership effectiveness, and contribute to designing systems that keep great talent performing, growing, and staying at Relay. You will also use data and context to surface risks, patterns, and leverage points before they become problems, and bring clarity to ambiguous, high-stakes decisions.

• Treat performance, talent, and leadership effectiveness as products with clear problem statements, success metrics, and data-informed continuous iteration.
• Implement a multi-quarter people strategy for your groups, setting priorities, sequencing work, and making tradeoffs to maximize business impact.
• Use experimentation as the primary mechanism for change: form hypotheses, run pilots with clear decision points, and scale what works.
• You operate comfortably as a strategic owner, setting direction, making tradeoffs, and being accountable for results
• You have 5+ years of experience in People Business Partnering or adjacent strategic People roles, including close partnership with senior leaders or executives
• You think in systems and outcomes, not tasks or programs. You naturally look for leverage and design solutions that scale
• You are fluent in using data and experimentation as a way of working. You know how to define a hypothesis, design a test, establish success metrics and tripwires, manage stakeholders and communication, and decide what to scale, change, or stop based on evidence
• You are comfortable holding tension and leading high-stakes conversations with clarity and empathy, including performance, role scope, and exit decisions
• You collaborate deeply and deliberately. You pressure-test ideas, align stakeholders, and evolve shared systems without operating unilaterally
• You bring strong business acumen and understand how talent, performance, and leadership decisions show up in execution, retention, and results
• You move with urgency, follow through reliably, and take full ownership of outcomes, not just recommendations
• You’re energized by ambiguity and prefer building what’s needed next over applying what worked somewhere else
