Senior Director, People Partners (Remote) at Honor · LumiJobs

Responsibilities

As Senior Director, People Partners, you will lead the evolution of our HRBP function to operate as a true organizational architect: identifying systemic problems before they become crises, designing mechanisms that produce the right talent outcomes, and becoming a sought-after partner to senior leaders. You will lead a small team of HRBPs, set the standard for how this function operates, and serve as a credible, trusted voice in senior leadership conversations — someone who earns influence by being right, honest, bringing insights and patterns that leaders may not see but need to understand, and proactively helping leaders reach their goals through people, structure, and culture.
This role is fully remote.
About the People Team
The People team at Honor builds the infrastructure, practices, and leadership capability to help the company achieve its goals through its people, structure, and culture. We aim to act as a force multiplier — aligning people and purpose to drive growth, adaptability, and long-term value. Our work is both strategic and operational: finding and hiring talented people, ensuring the people and culture "scaffolding" are in place for the company to evolve and scale, continuously examining and improving how work gets done and information flows, supporting and strengthening leaders, and ensuring the fundamentals of risk mitigation, pay, and policy are executed reliably.
As Senior Director of HR Business Partnership at Honor, you will:
Raise manager and leadership quality — Help leaders understand that manager-employee relationships are the primary driver of team performance, retention, and culture. Build manager capability, feedback loops, and coaching infrastructure that make strong manager-employee relationships the norm, not the exception. Support succession planning and leadership bench development. (Leadership Principle: Drive Impact)
Drive organizational effectiveness — Build trust-based relationships with business leaders to partner on organizational design: assess structure, clarity of roles and decision rights, and alignment with business strategy. Strengthen the organization's change management capabilities and agility. Act as a connector across functions — bringing objectivity, empathy, expertise, and sound judgment to complex, cross-cutting people issues.
Build scalable people solutions that drive business impact. Look beyond individual issues to identify root causes, patterns, and systemic challenges, then develop sustainable, repeatable solutions that improve how the organization operates. Test new approaches through practical, data-informed experimentation, learn quickly, and scale what works. Leverage HR data, workforce analytics, and emerging technologies to identify trends, mitigate risk, and improve engagement, retention, performance, and organizational effectiveness. Measure success through meaningful business and people outcomes—not simply completed activities. (Leadership Principle: Think Systemically)
Own employee relations and risk — Lead employee relations for our fully-remote HQ team. Identify and resolve ER issues with speed and sound judgment. Bring strong multi-state wage and hour knowledge and solid understanding of employment law and HR best practices. Maintain working knowledge of employee relations dynamics and know when to engage additional expertise. Support performance management with rigor — teach and enable managers to set clear expectations, provide clear feedback, and address performance issues promptly. (Leadership Principle: Identify Problems)
Lead and develop the HRBP team — Manage, coach, and develop a small team of HRBPs, raising the bar on quality, speed, and judgment. Build observability and repeatability into the team's work through tools, playbooks, and decision frameworks. Lead and evolve the HRBP practice as a strategic center of excellence, defining clear operating principles, standards, and expectations for consistent, high-quality HR partnership across the organization.
Partner on hiring quality — Collaborate with Talent Acquisition to sharpen hiring criteria, improve structured interview practices, and strengthen calibration. Help leaders understand what they are actually hiring for given the needs of the organization now and in the future, not just what they think they want.
