This is a full time remote role for people in the United Kingdom only.
This is an exciting opportunity to join the global People Business Partnering function at Grafana Labs. You will report to our Director of People Business Partnering and form a critical part of our R&D Business Partnering team supporting our global leadership team to design, implement and drive our People strategy, all while helping us maintain our culture as we scale.
Our ideal candidate will be able to comfortably span both strategic planning and highly tactical workloads. You’ll have the opportunity to help shape the talent agenda at the same time as rolling your sleeves up to make things happen. You will need to understand the interplay between talent, culture and business needs and have the experience to navigate and make an impact on those inputs. If you love variety, a broad scope, and have a passion to work with both experienced and new people managers to drive real change in the business, this role may be for you.

What you will be responsible for:
- You will partner directly with our R&D management and leadership teams building trusted advisor status with key stakeholders

- You will have the professional knowledge to actively contribute to the enhancement and delivery of these processes, as well as provide your experienced perspective on how to improve Grafana initiatives on an ongoing basis
What are we looking for?

- You enjoy wearing many hats and are able to be both a strategic partner to the senior leadership team as well as tactical support when needed
- You are process oriented and enjoy creating structure where there may be ambiguity and are skilled at finding creative solutions to non-obvious problems
- You will handle a wide range of complex and highly sensitive employee issues and will maintain confidentiality at all levels of the organization
- You are an excellent communicator in all channels (in-person, over Zoom, in Slack) and you’re able to garner strong working relationships as a result
- You are a people-person and problem solver at heart – you are able to take your passion for helping others and identifying problems to ultimately define solutions and drive impact via a high say/do ratio
- You appreciate working in a team through competing priorities and are able to use your initiative and creative problem solving to confidently manage decision-making
- Ideally you have experience of working remotely and internationally coordinating with team members globally and understand the challenges and opportunities of remote work and communication
- You will be highly approachable and provide a customer service approach to your role ensuring that everyone, locally and internationally, views you as a “go to” person for your business and function
