Responsibilities
We are looking for a People Partner to join Render’s People team as a strategic partner to our Engineering, Product, and Design (EPD) leaders.
You’ll combine hands-on HR business partnership with program-design skills to help managers navigate growth, build high-performing teams, and scale people practices as Render grows.
Partner directly with EPD managers and leaders as a trusted, hands-on advisor on org health, team dynamics, and performance
Approach AI as a core productivity partner and proactively use AI to automate scheduling and streamline communications, research, and other daily workflows rather than defaulting to manual processes out of habit or hesitation
Diagnose organizational health by looking for patterns across teams using survey data, 1:1s, and other signals and translate insights into concrete, prioritized action plans for leaders
Design and run people programs end-to-end (e.g., manager enablement, onboarding, engagement-survey action planning), driving stakeholder alignment and follow-through to ensure programs actually change behavior
