About the Role
We’re looking for a Senior HR Business Partner (Org Effectiveness) to join us on a contract / freelance basis and help leaders build high-performing, accountable teams during an important phase of growth. This is a strategic, high-impact assignment — not a traditional operational HRBP role. You’ll act as a trusted advisor to senior leaders, diagnosing organisational challenges, coaching managers, and driving focused people interventions that unlock measurable business impact. You’ll partner with a dedicated client group (R&D or GTM/G&A), helping translate business challenges into practical, high-leverage people solutions. Things you will do: Strategic Partnership & Organisational Effectiveness
- Partner with leaders to drive team effectiveness and sustained high performance
- Diagnose organisational friction and identify root causes of performance challenges
- Advise on organisation design, role clarity, and structural decisions
- Support workforce planning and people budgeting with divisional leadership
Leadership Coaching & Performance
- Coach managers to strengthen feedback habits and performance conversations
- Guide leaders through performance management with clarity and consistency
- Advise on headcount trade-offs and prioritisation decisions
Data-Driven People Strategy
- Use people data to identify patterns, risks, and intervention opportunities
- Translate insights into practical action plans
- Embed data-informed decision-making into leadership discussions
Change & Transformation
- Lead or support cyclical people initiatives (performance reviews, engagement surveys)
- Support organisational change and transformation initiatives
- Ensure clear communication and decision cascade across teams
Cross-Functional Collaboration
- Partner closely with People Operations to establish clear ownership boundaries
- Balance operational compliance with strategic intent
- Support employee engagement initiatives that drive cultural impact
What you already bring to the table:
- Strong experience as an HR Business Partner in fast-paced or scaling environments
- Proven ability to advise senior leaders on organisational performance and design
- Experience supporting transformation, change, or restructuring initiatives
- Commercially minded with strong business understanding
- Excellent problem-solver who identifies root causes, not just symptoms
- Confident coach who can influence and challenge leaders constructively
- Organisational design and team structure optimisation
- Change management and transformation execution
- Working knowledge of employment law (Europe, UK and/or US)
- Typeform drives hundreds of millions of interactions each year, enabling conversational, human-centered experiences across the globe. We move as one team, empowering our collective efforts by valuing each individual’s unique perspective. This fosters strong bonds grounded in respect, transparency, and trust. We champion our diverse customer base by anticipating their needs and addressing their challenges with priority. Committed to excellence, we hold high expectations for ourselves and each other, continuously striving to deliver exceptional results.
