About the role

At Instagrid you are part pf the clean-tech revolution by inspiring people to become part of our green-tech revolution as well as empowering the InstaCrew to bring their innovational mind-sets to life and fulfill our purpose to liberate clean energy now.

Your Mission
Help us build the organisation that accelerates the energy transition. As a Senior People Business Partner, you'll
enable leaders to build high-performing teams that help us scale faster and bring clean, reliable power to more
people. You'll own a broad set of leader relationships across our organisation, help us build a genuine performance
culture, and grow our leadership capability. You'll do this in a global, fast-moving scale-up where the bar is high
and the pace is real.

What you’ll own
Leader Partnerships:
Own a broad portfolio of leader relationships across functions and levels from Heads of to VP - as a genuine thought partner, not a service provider.

Translate business context into people priorities: org questions, team dynamics, capability gaps, hiring decisions.

Handle ER cases, employment questions, probation conversations, manager coaching with good judgment and speed.

Drive Performance Culture:
Lead the rollout and execution of our performance cycle.

Build the muscle of ongoing feedback and honest performance conversations across the organisation.

Support leaders in making timely, fair to the person/fair to the business, well-reasoned people decisions.

Leadership & L&D:
Co-own and grow our leadership development offer: Action learning sets, new manager foundations, ad hoc enablement.

Identify capability gaps and design pragmatic interventions.

Talent & Organisation:
Partner on org design questions, headcount decisions, and role scoping as the business evolves.

Support hiring quality.

Own job architecture maintenance and levelling as we grow.

Drive Change:
Use AI to redesign how P&C works from how we run processes to how we support leaders.

Keep raising the bar by constantly looking for ways to automate, simplify, and rethink how People & Culture operates through AI.

Initiate continuous process improvements, based on the opportunities you spot, with adjacent teams within and around P&C.

At least 4 years of business partnering experience sitting at the leadership table, not just supporting.

You've successfully partnered with leaders in complex, fast-changing organisations.

Performance culture isn't a concept to you - you've lived it, built it, and you think it's healthy.

You partner with leaders as a peer: you challenge, push back, and bring a point of view. You do not shy away from the difficult conversations.

Your benefits
Flexible work schedule

30 vacation days plus 5 special leave days and 5 baby leave days

Discounts on sustainable online shops

Join a company at the forefront of innovation
