The company employs more than 450 people across 8 offices, spanning North America, Europe, and Asia, and representing over 20 cities worldwide. A note from the hiring team We're looking for an exceptional HR Business Partner leader to help shape the next chapter of AfterShip. Our business has evolved quickly. Today, North America is at the center of our growth, our leadership team is expanding, and the way we partner with the business needs to evolve alongside it. We already have talented HRBPs across North America, China, and India. What we haven't had is a single global leader who can bring them together around a shared vision of what world-class business partnering looks like. This role is an opportunity to build that vision. You'll help define how our HRBP function operates, raise the bar for strategic partnership across regions, and ensure the People team is involved in the conversations that shape the future of the company-not simply responding after decisions have been made. If you're energized by building, influencing senior leaders, and creating an organization where great people can do their best work, we'd love to meet you. At AfterShip, we believe that building a great company starts with building a great organization. As our Head of HRBP, you'll partner closely with the VP People and our executive team to help ensure our organization evolves alongside our business. You'll influence how teams are structured, where we invest in talent, how leaders grow, and how we prepare the company for what's next. This isn't a role centered on running HR programs. It's about helping leaders make better organizational decisions and building an HRBP function that becomes one of the company's most trusted strategic partners. What success looks like Success in this role isn't measured by the number of programs launched. It's reflected in the way the business works with People. Leaders seek your perspective early because they trust your judgment. HRBPs across North America, China, and India operate with a shared standard of excellence while adapting thoughtfully to local business needs. Organizational decisions are informed by stronger data, better talent insights, and clearer thinking. Most importantly, the HRBP function becomes known as a team that helps the business move faster, make better decisions, and build stronger leaders.

Responsibilities

• You'll shape and lead our global HRBP function - defining the operating model, standards, and expectations for business partnering across regions.
• You'll partner directly with executives and senior business leaders on organizational design, workforce planning, leadership effectiveness, succession planning, and talent investment.
• You'll lead and coach our North American HRBP team while providing functional leadership across HRBPs in China and India, helping build a consistent, high-performing global practice.
• You'll guide leaders through organizational change, helping diagnose challenges, evaluate trade-offs, and build teams that can support the company's long-term growth.
• You'll develop practical frameworks, career paths, and coaching that strengthen HRBP capability and create consistency across regions without losing local relevance.
• Most importantly, you'll help ensure that People is viewed as a strategic business partner that enables growth-not simply a support function.

Requirements

• You naturally connect people decisions to business outcomes.
• You enjoy solving ambiguous problems and are comfortable building the path while walking it. Rather than waiting for perfect information, you gather context, form thoughtful opinions, and help leaders move forward with confidence.
• You build trust through sound judgment, curiosity, and practical advice. Senior leaders value you
