Senior People Partner - Lumos

Every breach, every failed audit, every new hire stuck in onboarding purgatory traces back to the same question: who has access to what — and should they?

Identity is where modern companies break. Too much access leaks data. Too little grinds the business to a halt. Lumos is the industry's first Autonomous Identity Platform — software that doesn't just surface access risk, but acts on it.

You'll ship work that thousands of IT and security teams touch every day. You'll own problems without playbooks, because the category is being redefined in real time.

🔦 Overall description

This isn't a role where you inherit a playbook and execute it. At Lumos, you'll craft and own it.

You'll come in at 60% HRBP / 40% People Ops — and that balance keeps shifting toward strategic partnership as AI and systems absorb the manual work. As the ops load lightens, your impact on the business and truly human work deepens.

On the HRBP side, you will independently own your business groups' performance management conversations, employee relations, and manager coaching. On the Ops side, you will run the people infrastructure, drive automation, and make sure the fundamentals never slip.

✨ Your Responsibilities

• People Business Partner: Own the HRBP relationship for your business groups — performance management, employee relations, talent development, org design, and team health. Coach managers proactively.
• Performance & Talent Programs: Own and evolve performance cycles, Pulse surveys, and talent assessments. Surface trends and insights to leadership with recommendations tied to business outcomes.
• Employee Relations: Independently manage employee relations cases, sensitive situations, and conflict resolution with thorough documentation and confidentiality.
• Facilitation & Internal L&D: Facilitate manager enablement workshops, internal learning sessions, and program rollouts.
• AI & Automation: Identify and implement automation across the People function — workflows, documentation, reporting, and reactive work.
• HR Tech & Data: Own and optimize the people tech stack, ensuring data accuracy and delivering regular people insights.
• People Ops: Own onboarding, offboarding, and employee lifecycle processes while maintaining accurate, compliant records.
• Benefits & Compliance Oversight: Internal liaison for PEO-administered benefits and compliance, acting as primary contact for employee questions.

🙌 What We’re Looking For

• 5–8 years of HR experience, with at least 3–5 years in a true HRBP or business partner capacity, plus a strong people ops foundation.
• Demonstrated ability to independently own performance management, employee relations, and manager coaching.
• Detail-oriented mindset with the ability to anticipate stakeholder needs and execute with near-perfection.
• Genuine AI fluency: actively uses AI tools in workflow and has a POV on how AI should reshape HR operations.
• Strong business acumen with the ability to connect people recommendations to business outcomes.
• Comfortable facilitating sessions with leaders and employees.
• Strong systems thinker who has meaningfully improved or implemented HR tools.
• Experience at a startup or high-growth company where you had to build, not just operate.
• Familiarity with our current stack is a plus: Culture Amp, HiBob, Deel (EOR), Sequoia One (PEO).
