About the role

Original posting from Cursor via Ashby

SpaceX was founded under the belief that a future where humanity is out exploring the stars is fundamentally more exciting than one where we are not. Today, SpaceX is actively developing the technologies to make this possible, with the ultimate goal of making life multiplanetary and expanding consciousness to the stars.

SpaceXSI is building Super Intelligence to help humanity understand the universe. Our teams are building the full Super Intelligence stack: from our Colossus supercomputers, to Grok models, to our suite of applications, including Grok Bot, Grok Build, Grok Imagine, Grok Voice, and X. We're creating a powerful flywheel where more compute trains better models, better models power more useful products, and what we learn from people using those products shapes what we build next.

HRBP, GTM

We're hiring a Senior HR Business Partner to support our rapidly scaling Go-to-Market organization. This person will partner closely with senior leaders across Sales, Marketing, Business Operations, and Recruiting to help build high-performing, durable teams in a fast-moving environment. This is not a traditional HRBP role. You'll operate as a strategic thought partner and hands-on builder in a high-talent-density company where expectations are high and the pace is fast.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

  • Partner Closely with GTM Leadership: Act as a trusted advisor to leaders across Sales, Marketing, Business Operations, and Recruiting; coach managers and leaders on performance, feedback, team health, organizational changes, and leadership effectiveness; support high-stakes decision-making and help leaders navigate rapid growth and ambiguity; raise the bar on accountability, talent density, and leadership quality across the organization
  • Drive Org Design and Talent Strategy: Partner on org design, headcount planning, team structure, leveling, and mobility; help leaders build scalable, high-performing teams with clear ownership and accountability; identify organizational gaps and proactively solve for talent, structure, and execution challenges; support thoughtful scaling without introducing unnecessary process or complexity
  • Own Performance and Employee Experience: Drive and operationalize performance management, calibrations, promotions, onboarding, engagement, and development programs; navigate employee relations and sensitive situations with strong judgment, empathy, and pragmatism; ensure high standards are upheld consistently while maintaining a strong employee experience; help build lightweight, high-quality systems that scale with the business
  • Build and Scale the Function: Partner cross-functionally with Recruiting, Compensation, Legal, Finance, and People Ops; build People infrastructure and operating rhythms from the ground up; bring structure, urgency, and follow-through to a fast-moving environment; operate with high ownership and jump into tactical work when needed

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS:

  • 8+ years of experience in HRBP, People Partner, or related leadership roles supporting high-growth GTM organizations

PREFERRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:

  • Strong expertise in organizational design, performance management, leadership coaching, and talent strategy
  • Excellent judgment and ability to navigate complex, high-stakes situations
  • Comfortable operating with ambiguity and minimal structure
  • Pragmatic, direct, highly execution-oriented, and deeply collaborative
  • Ability to influence senior leaders through credibility and partnership, not process
  • View HR as a core business function, not a support function
  • Care deeply about leadership quality, accountability, and talent density
  • Prefer simple, high-quality systems over heavy process
  • Thrive in fast-moving, high-expectation environments
  • Enjoy building from first principles and operating close to the business

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS:

  • This role is based in New York City (SoHo) with an expectation of domestic and international travel as needed

COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS:

The annual compensation range for this role is listed below.

Annual Salary:

$145,000 - $185,000 USD

Your actual level and base salary will be determined on a case-by-case basis and may vary based on the following considerations: job-related knowledge and skills, education, and experience.

Base salary is just one part of our total rewards package at SpaceXSI, which also includes equity, comprehensive medical, vision, and dental coverage, access to a 401(k) retirement plan, short & long-term disability insurance, life insurance, and various other discounts and perks.
