What You’ll Do:

As a People Business Partner for Product and Engineering, you’ll enable leaders to make data-driven people decisions that support execution and growth.

You’ll own and drive core people processes, balancing executional rigor with speed. You’ll identify patterns early, surface insights quickly, and help leaders course-correct before people challenges impact delivery.

The focus of this role is reducing friction, increasing clarity, and amplifying leadership impact as the organization scales.

About the role:

This role sits at the center of CoreWeave's Product and Engineering organization, partnering with senior leaders through a period of rapid growth and increasing complexity. This is not a role where you wait to be asked, you bring a clear point of view, operate independently across complex situations, and are embedded deeply enough in the business to anticipate what leaders need before they articulate it.

You think about the upstream and downstream implications of every recommendation, build trusted relationships through coaching and knowledge sharing, and consistently deliver high-quality outcomes even in ambiguous or fast-moving environments. This person shapes initiatives, refines how people work gets done across P&E, and elevates the quality of decisions across the organization.

Success in this role means turning priorities into practical, scalable solutions that help Product and Engineering operate effectively—and leaving the function better than you found it.

Who You Are: 

Investing in our people is one of our top priorities, and we value candidates who can bring their diversified experiences to our teams. Here are some qualities we’ve found compatible with our team. We'd love to talk about whether this aligns with your experience and interests and what you’re excited to work on next.

Your impact will be felt across various dimensions:

Strategic Partnership: Serve as an influential thought partner to P&E leaders, helping translate business goals into people decisions that improve execution, support growth, and strengthen organizational effectiveness. Anticipate how priorities are evolving and align your work accordingly—before leaders come to you with the problem.

Execute with Impact: Consistently deliver high-quality outcomes across complex, often ambiguous workstreams. Balance strategic thinking with hands-on execution, stepping into the details when needed and knowing when to pull back. Consider the upstream and downstream implications of decisions before recommending a path.

Pattern Recognition & Insights: Leverage data, observations, and deep domain expertise to identify recurring patterns across P&E—surfacing signals proactively, synthesizing them into clear actions, and helping leaders course-correct before challenges compound.

Enable Change at Speed: Lead organizational change in a dynamic, fast-paced environment, ensuring seamless transitions, transparency, and business continuity. At IC4, you're driving change—not just managing through it.

Talent Management: Drive workforce planning, talent calibration, and performance management activities across P&E, enabling consistent and defensible people decisions. Apply deep expertise to hold the bar on job architecture and leveling in a function where those lines can blur.

People Risk & Workplace Advisory: Independently manage complex people matters, balancing risk, speed, and business practicality with sound judgment. Own the resolution, not just the escalation.

Cross-functional Delivery: Lead effective collaboration with People Team COEs and other stakeholders to deliver scalable, business-aligned people solutions. Share insights and practices that raise the quality of work across the broader PBP team.

Wondering if you’re a good fit? 

We believe in investing in our people and value candidates who can bring their own diverse experiences to our teams—even if you aren't a 100% skill or experience match. Here are a few qualities we’ve found make people thrive here:

Be Curious at Your Core: You bring a genuine curiosity about our space and the evolving world of AI. You actively seek to understand the business, the functions you support, and the people in them, leveraging curiosity to uncover opportunities, spot trends, and design impactful People programs.

Act Like an Owner: You take full accountability for outcomes, thinking strategically while also rolling up your sleeves to build from the ground up. You proactively identify challenges, make data-informed decisions, and deliver results that move the business forward.

Empower Employees: You believe in enabling others to succeed, whether it’s through coaching leaders, designing initiatives that foster growth, or creating environments where employees feel engaged, supported and capable of doing their best work.

Deliver Best-in-Class Client Experiences: You measure success by how effective the leaders and teams you partner with become. You bring clarity, pragmatism, and partnership to every interaction.

Achieve More Together: You thrive in collaboration, building strong relationships across Product & Engineering, People Ops, Talent, and other cross-functional teams. You recognize that the best outcomes come from shared goals, transparent communication, and working in sync to create lasting impact.
