HRBPLead

In the last 18 months at Loka, our teams have helped clients advance the world’s #1 AI reading tutor, eliminate $1B in food waste and develop novel drugs for fighting cancer. To cap it off, at the end of 2024 Loka was recognized by AWS as Innovation Partner of the Year, outshining 150,000 partners for the title. And we did it all while working remotely and enjoying every other Friday off 😎. As HR Business Partner Lead, you’ll manage and develop a distributed team of five HRBPs operating across three regions - while staying close to the work yourself. This is a player-coach role: you’ll set the standard for what great HRBP work looks like at Loka, partner directly with senior leaders and ensure global HR frameworks land effectively across very different local contexts. You won’t just manage a team. You’ll shape the people strategy that underpins how Loka grows, and you’ll be hands-on enough to model what good looks like.
