About the Role

We are looking for a People Business Partner to act as a trusted advisor to managers and team leads on all people-related matters. This position sits at the intersection of business strategy and people strategy. You will partner with Managers to understand their team dynamics, talent gaps, and organizational challenges, and translate those into practical HR solutions that drive performance and engagement.
This is an ideal role for a junior-to-mid-level HR professional who has built a solid generalist foundation and is ready to step into a more business-facing capacity. You will work closely with the broader People team, including People Operations and Employee Relations, but your primary focus will be on coaching, supporting talent and performance cycles, enabling organizational effectiveness, and ensuring that people initiatives are aligned with business objectives. A working knowledge of Saudi labor law is expected.
