About Teleport

Don't wait for the future of infrastructure. Be part of it.

Teleport is the AI Infrastructure Identity Company. We're solving one of the hardest problems in security: giving every human, machine, workload, and AI agent a cryptographically secured identity, improving engineering velocity while maintaining security. We make trusted computing simple. This gives you the freedom, power, and autonomy to build and innovate with confidence.

Remote-first and globally distributed, we work with companies like Nasdaq, DoorDash, and Elastic to secure infrastructure for an AI world.

About the role:

As a Senior People Business Partner, you’ll be a founding member of the Organizational Effectiveness function at Teleport. Reporting to the Senior Manager, Organizational Effectiveness, you’ll be a dedicated partner to our R&D organization: Engineering and Product. You’ll sit close to their senior leaders and managers partnering with them to keep these organizations healthy and effective over time.

This is a strategic role for an experienced People Business Partner who knows technical teams well. You’ll diagnose organizational health, spot trends and capability gaps as these teams grow, and partner with leaders to set priorities and work on what keeps R&D strong at scale: manager development, org design, succession, and leadership programs you can measure. You’ll work hand in hand with our HR team, who owns the employee lifecycle globally. You’ll share context, align on priorities, and give the leaders and managers you both support one consistent experience.

What You’ll Do:

• Diagnose the health of the R&D organizations you support: how teams are doing and where they're headed.

• Coach engineering and product managers on performance: how to set clear expectations, give direct feedback, and address problems early so teams stay high performing as they scale.

• Coach managers and senior leaders as they grow, and help them confidently guide their teams through change and navigate complex organizational challenges.

• Lead org design, team structure, and succession planning with your business leaders.

• Design leadership development and offsites that lift manager capability across the org, with a clear learning arc.

• Measure the effectiveness of programs and processes, and adjust based on what the data shows.

• Partner closely with the HR team, pairing your proactive work on org health with the structure and judgment they bring to how people are supported, so the People function is stronger for it.

• Bring modern tools, including AI, to work faster and sharpen how you diagnose org health, and help the managers you support do the same.

What We’re Looking For:

• 12+ years partnering with senior leaders as a People or HR Business Partner or in organizational development, or 8+ years with an advanced degree in a related field.

• Experience in infrastructure, security, developer tools, or a similarly technical product environment required.

• Deep experience partnering with technical organizations such as Engineering and Product, and fluency with how R&D teams operate.

• Experience supporting a technical organization through rapid scaling, with a clear view of which practices transfer at that stage and which do not.

• A track record of developing senior-level leaders and above, and coaching managers to improve their effectiveness.

• Strength in org design, succession, change management, and measuring the effectiveness of the programs you run.

• The presence to influence senior leaders and offer a candid point of view, without formal authority.

• Sound judgment on when to act, when to bring in HR, and how to hold confidentiality, working primarily from aggregate team-health data.

How We Hire:

Our process is designed to be straightforward and respectful of your time. We skip performative rounds and focus on what matters: understanding how you think and what you can do.
