People Business Partner Role

We're not just building better tech. We're rewriting how data moves and what the world can do with it. With Confluent, data doesn't sit still. Our platform puts information in motion, streaming in near real-time so companies can react faster, build smarter, and deliver experiences as dynamic as the world around them. It takes a certain kind of person to join this team. Those who ask hard questions, give honest feedback, and show up for each other. No egos, no solo acts. Just smart, curious humans pushing toward something bigger, together. One Confluent. One Team. One Data Streaming Platform.

As a People Business Partner (PBP) supporting the R&D organizations, you have the opportunity to align business objectives with people strategies, in partnership with leaders and managers. These initiatives will enable the company's overall business strategy, culture, and values, and will directly contribute to the scaling of an inclusive, results-oriented, and high-performance work environment. With past experience working in fast-paced tech companies, the ideal candidate will recall a history of success leveraging deep HR subject matter expertise and growing business acumen to deploy the relevant manager coaching, manager / team enablement, and organizational development initiatives to assist in enabling the business to meet mission-critical deliverables. This role will require an agile People Professional who adapts quickly to fluid environments, thrives in ambiguity, builds strong relationships, and has the business acumen to guide the organization through scale, growth, and transformation. Experience supporting Engineering and Product teams is preferred. This position reports directly to the Sr. Director, People Business Partner (based in the US) and will be based in the US. An in person meeting is required at a Confluent office during your first week of employment.
