LAYIQ - Senior People Partner, Manufacturing at Panthalassa

Spend real time on the production floor at all three sites. Learn how Manufacturing Engineering, Production, and Supply Chain work, and keep information moving between the sites and HQ.
Partner with the Vice President of Manufacturing and manufacturing leaders on team structure, leadership capacity, and role clarity, weighing effects on other teams and sites.
Help leaders plan for the work ahead: whether to hire, move people, use contractors, or reorganize. Partner with Talent Acquisition on hiring, and lead the people side of site expansions.
Build the manufacturing portion of our job families, levels, and career paths, and coach managers to use them in hiring, development, and promotion.
Coach managers, including new ones as we add leadership layers, to set clear expectations, give useful feedback, address performance early, and develop their people. In hard situations, guide them without taking over—the team stays theirs.
Handle complex employee matters, including conflict, accommodations, investigations, and exits, with care and proportion. Most issues need a conversation or a change in how we work; few need formal action.
Give direct advice, including when you disagree. Explain your reasoning, listen to other perspectives, and help people reach a workable decision.
Bring organizational patterns and risks to the Vice President of Talent and People Operations with a clear recommendation.
Build processes only where they solve a real problem, and retire them when they stop serving the organization.
Required Qualifications
8+ years of progressive experience in HR or People Partner roles, including substantial independent partnership with senior leaders.
Experience supporting hourly employees, salaried employees, and contractors across multiple worksites, with credibility on the production floor as well as in the office.
Experience helping a fast-growing or changing organization make decisions about structure, workforce needs, and leadership capacity.
Strong manager-coaching skills, with examples of helping managers improve how they lead rather than taking over their responsibilities.
Sound judgment on complex employee matters and employment law, including knowing when to involve legal counsel.
Demonstrated ability to earn trust and influence decisions without reporting authority, including challenging senior leaders while remaining a credible partner.
Clear communication, discretion, and steady judgment under pressure, and comfort working through ambiguity without a fully built process.
Desired Qualifications
Experience supporting manufacturing or another technically complex, shift-based organization, ideally including opening or expanding a worksite.
Experience in a high-growth startup where you helped build the organization and adapted your approach as it grew.
The above qualifications are desired, not required. We encourage you to apply if you are a strong candidate with only some of the desired skills and experience listed.
Additional Requirements
Travel to vendors and test sites as needed
Intermittently able to work longer hours and weekends to support critical needs. While we expect a lot of each other, we also offer a high degree of autonomy and work-life balance, including flexible PTO and flexible working hours.
