HR Business Partner- Tech

Flock Safety is a leading safety technology platform focused on proactive crime prevention and security. The HR Business Partner will support the Engineering organization by driving performance management, talent decisions, and employee relations, ensuring alignment with the company's long-term goals.

Responsibilities:

• Serve as the primary HRBP for our Engineering organization, acting as the first point of contact for complex People related issues — including performance management, employee relations, investigations, and terminations
• Partner closely with engineering leaders and embed yourself in the business so you can provide practical coaching that drives clarity, accountability, and forward momentum
• Lead rigorous talent processes, including calibrations, promotions, and performance improvement, ensuring decisions are fair, consistent, and aligned with a high-performance bar
• Monitor the health of the engineering org through attrition trends, engagement data, stay/exit insights, and performance outcomes — translating signals into clear, actionable recommendations
• Partner cross-functionally with Finance, Recruiting, Total Rewards, and People Operations to ensure seamless execution across hiring, leveling, compensation, and employee lifecycle processes
• Build trusted relationships with both managers and engineers, serving as a steady, objective advisor who can navigate nuanced people challenges with urgency and professionalism
• While Engineering will be the primary focus, this role may expand to support additional teams or international populations as the business scales
• Deeply embed in the Engineering organization — understand product roadmaps, org structure, technical domains, delivery cadence, and leadership dynamics
• Build relationships with key engineering leaders and establish a regular operating cadence (1:1s, staff meetings, talent reviews)
• Assess current talent processes (performance management, leveling, promotions, ER patterns) and identify immediate risk areas or gaps
• Establish yourself as a trusted, pragmatic thought partner — responsive, clear, and execution-focused
• Fully own HRBP support for Engineering, serving as the primary advisor on performance, org design, and complex employee situations
• Lead or support active talent decisions (calibrations, performance improvement, promotions) with rigor and consistency
• Identify opportunities to bring more structure and repeatability to talent processes without slowing product velocity
• Begin synthesizing trends across attrition, engagement, and performance to surface clear, actionable insights for leadership
• Deliver a clear point of view on the health of the Engineering org — strengths, risks, talent gaps, and structural opportunities
• Implement scalable, high-leverage improvements to performance management, org design, or talent decision-making where needed
• Build strong, trust-based relationships with leaders and key engineers so you can coach, challenge, and influence effectively — even in high-stakes moments
• Establish a reputation as a steady, objective partner who helps Engineering move faster and make better people decisions, not slower

Requirements:

• 5+ years of progressive HRBP experience, ideally in a high-growth product or engineering-driven environment
• Experience partnering with technical or engineering teams, with a strong understanding of how product organizations scale
• Proven ability to manage complex employee relations matters, performance management, and high-stakes talent decisions with sound judgment and objectivity
• Comfortable using data (attrition, engagement, performance trends) to inform recommendations and drive clear action
• Ability to operate with urgency in fast-moving environments — cutting through ambiguity and making well-reasoned decisions quickly
• Strong written and verbal communication skills; able to deliver direct feedback and influence leaders at multiple levels
• Bias toward execution, ownership, and operational excellence with strong attention to detail
• Experience with HRIS systems (Rippling experience a plus)
• Strong alignment with Flock Safety's Core Values and mission
