The Role

The Senior HR Business Partner (HRBP) serves as a strategic advisor and thought partner to leaders across their assigned business vertical, providing high-caliber support that strengthens managerial capability, enhances employee experience, and drives business outcomes. This role combines deep expertise in employment law, people programs, and HR operations with strong coaching, communication, and analytical skills.

The Senior HRBP builds trusted relationships with managers by offering timely, solution-oriented guidance; helping leaders navigate complex personnel matters; and empowering them to make data-informed decisions on engagement, performance, succession planning, and team health. Operating with significant autonomy, the HRBP delivers high-quality employee relations support, launches and conducts investigations, drafts critical documentation, and identifies HR-related risks with sound judgment and discretion.

This role acts as a connector between business needs and HR strategy—leveraging multiple data sources to identify learning and development opportunities, enhance people processes, and implement best practices. The Senior HRBP brings advanced proficiency across HR tools and systems, including Lattice, ADP, Google Workspace, JIRA, ATS platforms, and internal knowledge management tools. They create and present clear, concise materials for leaders, craft companywide communications, and serve as a reliable steward of policies, compensation philosophy, and organizational practices.

A highly collaborative partner, the Senior HRBP influences alignment across teams, holds managers accountable for People Team priorities, and helps operationalize initiatives that improve organizational effectiveness. They take initiative in a fast-paced, evolving environment and are energized by contributing to meaningful work that advances the education landscape. Above all, they model the behaviors, rigor, and excellence expected across the company and continuously seek opportunities to elevate managers, processes, and culture.
