People Partner

Overview

Lean is scaling fast, with 130+ employees across our markets. We’re hiring a senior People Partner to own areas such as org design, manager enablement, and performance management, ensuring leadership and teams are set up to thrive as we grow. Based in Dubai or Riyadh, this role provides senior HR presence in our largest offices and most complex teams. You’ll partner directly with cross-functional department heads to support high-quality decisions around team structure and talent, and you’ll help develop frameworks that drive performance, clarity, and culture. This is a small, lean team; this is not a layered HR function. You’ll work closely with senior leaders, and your ability to build trust, influence decisions, and operate with autonomy will be essential to success.

Responsibilities and expectations are aligned with the needs of a fast-growing technology-focused organization.

Responsibilities

• Act as a strategic HR partner to department heads across business and technology; design org structures, team models, and job architecture to support growth.
• Lead manager enablement programs, including toolkits, training, and resources.
• Support performance cycles from end-to-end (timeline, calibration, execution).
• Drive promotion processes, growth planning, and succession strategies.
• Advise on high-trust people matters, including ER cases, terminations, and policy interpretation.
• Own engagement survey execution and follow-up, ensuring action at the manager level.
• Identify people-related risks and propose clear, data-informed solutions.
• Collaborate cross-functionally to build scalable, repeatable People frameworks.
• Demonstrate strong project ownership and stakeholder management across departments.
• Able to coach and influence senior managers with confidence and credibility.
• Apply an analytical mindset with comfort using data to shape People strategies.
• Communicate clearly, with structure and tact, and work effectively in hybrid and distributed teams.
