About

Lokalise is looking for a senior People partner who can turn the priorities of G&A and GTM leaders into clear, practical people decisions, while ensuring continuity during a 12-month parental leave cover.

In a distributed business operating across multiple countries, decisions about organizational structure, performance, compensation, talent, and employee relations are closely connected to business performance and require experienced judgment.

This role will help leaders build effective teams, address complex people matters early, and make data-informed decisions about organizational design, workforce investment, and talent. By connecting business needs with a consistent, human-first People approach, the Senior People Partner will reduce organizational and employment risk, strengthen leadership effectiveness, and help teams remain focused and perform through change.

This reflects the broader purpose of a senior HRBP: translating business priorities into practical people strategies and measurable organizational outcomes.

• Serve as the dedicated People Partner for G&A and GTM functions (Finance, Legal, Marketing, Sales, Customer Success), owning the full HRBP relationship with those leaders and their teams across a distributed, remote-first workforce

• Partner with the Senior HRBP for Product & Engineering and with People Ops to deliver a coherent, consistent people approach company-wide, including shared cycle ownership and cross-functional coordination
• Bring a business-first perspective to every HRBP conversation, showing up with a point of view, data-backed recommendations, and a bias for moving things forward rather than waiting to be asked
• Drive continuous improvement and innovation in People processes and practices to enhance efficiency, effectiveness, and employee experience within a remote environment.
• You must have
• Business first human forward approach to your craft.
• 5+ years of progressive HR experience, including at least 1 year in a senior HRBP or HR leadership role.
