People Partner Engineering & Product
About The Role
We're scaling from 1,000 → 4,000 employees across 50+ countries, and the complexity of our teams, hubs, and workflows is growing quickly. Our People Partners play a critical role in enabling leads, supporting peeps, and protecting performance and culture as we grow. As a People Partner at ElevenLabs, you'll sit at the intersection of leadership coaching, performance, and day-to-day people guidance.
You'll support Engineering and Product leaders across our international teams, getting to know their rhythms, challenges, and talent needs. Much of the role is coaching: helping leads handle feedback, performance, growth, and change well, and surfacing people issues early. You'll work as part of the wider People team, with Employee Relations and People Ops alongside you on more complex cases.
This is a high-impact role for someone who enjoys coaching, can context-switch quickly, builds trust easily, and brings clarity and calm to fast-moving environments.
YOU WILL
- Partner with Engineering and Product leaders across our international teams to support team health, performance, and talent density.
- Coach leads and managers through people challenges, including feedback, performance, conflict, growth conversations, and team change.
- Run proactive 1:1 sessions mainly with leads, and with peeps where needed, surfacing issues early.
- Contribute to organisational design work, advising on team structures, spans and layers, and capability gaps.
- Support leaders and teams through change, such as team moves and new ways of working.
- Support key People programs (performance reviews, engagement, recognition, and lead enablement) for Engineering and Product.
- Work with Employee Relations and, where required, Legal Counsel on early-stage ER issues, escalating complex cases.
- Spot patterns across teams and share them with the wider People team to shape new People initiatives.
- Work with People Ops & Compliance teams to support terminations, mobility, and local requirements in each country where needed.
REQUIREMENTS
- Experience supporting leaders and teams through people topics such as performance, coaching, growth, and team change.
- Strong coaching skills, with the confidence to guide managers through difficult conversations.
- Strong judgment and the ability to handle sensitive issues with discretion, clarity, and fairness.
- Ability to thrive in a high-velocity, ambiguous environment and make decisions with incomplete information.
- Comfortable with both partnership and hands-on execution when needed.
- Comfortable working with leaders across different timezones and cultures; experience supporting globally distributed or multi-jurisdiction teams is a strong plus.
- Experience supporting Engineering or Product teams.
