About Distyl

Coaching that holds up: You coach managers rather than solve their problems for them, and you can point to leaders who improved because of you

Responsibilities

• Definir y construir las capacidades centrales de la función de asociación empresarial en recursos humanos en Distyl.
• Actuar como el primer punto de contacto para los gerentes en toda la empresa en temas de rendimiento del equipo, estructura, planes de contratación y conversaciones difíciles.
• Utilizar datos de compromiso, señales de atrición y retroalimentación de 1:1 para informar al equipo de liderazgo sobre lo que realmente está sucediendo en la organización.

Requirements

• Comp literacy: You can read a band, explain a leveling decision, and hold the line on an off-cycle request and when an exception might be warranted
• Builder's instinct: You have operated without a playbook and then written one. You are comfortable being first. Experience in a high growth startup environment is preferred
• Org design and change management in practice: You have run at least one team-level restructure or leader transition from design through comms and follow-through. You know the difference between an org chart and an org
• At least 5 to 8 years in HR with a background in business partnering: You have been an embedded partner to a leadership team, coached employees and managers through difficult moments, and navigated complex employee relations issues and organizational changes with sound judgment and discretion
• Systems thinker: You understand the system before you design the intervention. You separate symptoms from causes and resist the quick fix
• Direct, kind, low ego: You give feedback thoughtfully, care about your work and others around you, and focus more on outcomes than credit
• Tech or AI background, strongly preferred: You have supported engineers, researchers, or technical leaders at a technology company and earned their trust. You understand how technical teams work, what they respect, and what makes them tune out. Experience inside an AI or applied-AI company is a plus
