About the Role
As Factory scales through hyper-growth off the back of our Series C, we are seeking a Founding HRBP to serve as a trusted partner to leaders across the org. This is a foundational role: you’ll provide hands-on partnership while helping build the HRBP function itself - the frameworks, playbooks, and practices that become its backbone as the company scales.
Responsibilities
- Advise functional leaders on org design, workforce planning, and growth plans.
- Own headcount planning and data integrity for client groups.
- Partner with leadership to build playbooks and frameworks for org design, performance calibration, comp cycles, career ladders, and headcount.
- Serve as a trusted advisor on employee relations, exercising judgment on coaching moments, policy issues, or escalations.
- Coach leaders and managers on performance, feedback, and people leadership.
- Contribute to L&D, People Program, and Total Rewards initiatives.
- Run performance reviews and the comp cycle for client groups end to end.
- Bring a data- and metrics-driven approach to flag org risk before it becomes a retention problem.
- Use AI tools, including Factory’s own product, as a core part of how you operate.
- Operate at both strategic and hands-on altitudes, building durable systems while running the day-to-day operational load.
Requirements
- 8+ years in HR, with a strong track record as an HRBP or People Partner in high-growth, fast-paced tech companies.
- Strong business acumen; understand how the company makes money and make decisions to be a credible partner to functional leaders.
- Curious and a real problem solver; work root causes instead of pattern-matching to the nearest existing policy.
- Genuinely employee-focused; build for the people using the systems designed.
- Excellent interpersonal and communication skills; able to build trust at all levels of the company.
- Comfortable operating in both strategic and hands-on capacities in a dynamic, fast-changing environment.
- Experience partnering with Finance on headcount planning and compensation strategy.
