YOUR MISSION

Partner with leaders across Finance, Legal, Business Development and Mission Readiness to build high-performing, engaged teams. This is a strategic partnership role – not a generalist position – suited for a People professional with 5-7 years of experience who can build credibility fast, manage competing priorities across multiple lean functions, and operate with autonomy in a high-growth environment being built from the ground up. Reports to the Director, People Business Partners. 

RESPONSIBILITIES

Strategic Partnership Serve as the dedicated PBP for corporate function leaders, providing counsel on org design, talent planning, leadership development, and workforce strategy. Build trusted relationships through proactive consultation and a genuine understanding of the challenges unique to enabling functions — compliance rigor alongside speed, lean teams scaling fast, and non-technical career paths without established ladders. 

Talent & Performance Guide managers on performance management, succession planning, and career development. Focus particularly on building professional development pathways for non-technical roles. Drive execution of people programs — performance cycles, talent reviews, engagement initiatives — and feed insights back into program design. 

Employee Relations Own low-to-moderate complexity ER cases independently. Conduct investigations, advise managers, and ensure consistent, values-aligned resolution. Escalate high-stakes or legally sensitive matters to the Director, PBP. 

Compensation & People Data Partner with the Compensation Manager on comp cycles for corporate teams, including market benchmarking and data analysis for professional roles. Analyze engagement, attrition, and performance data across your client groups to surface patterns, flag risks early, and contribute cross-functional themes to quarterly exec readouts. 

Organizational Capability Partner with Manager, PBP to assess capability gaps, prioritize learning needs across lean teams, and identify cross-functional development opportunities. Support change initiatives — restructures, workforce planning, scaling efforts — ensuring alignment with business goals and a positive employee experience throughout. 

Culture Model and embed True Anomaly's values — Be The Offset, What Would It Take, It's The People — through coaching, everyday practices, and intentional focus on teams that are often distributed or operating independent 

QUALIFICATIONS

  • 5–7 years of progressive HR experience, with 3–4+ years in a Business Partner or strategic HR role

  • Able to build credibility quickly with operationally focused leaders skeptical of HR's value
  • Comfortable operating independently day-to-day while partnering with Manager, PBP on complex decisions
  • Proven ability to manage ambiguity and competing priorities across multiple small teams
  • Bachelor's degree required; SHRM-CP/SCP or PHR/SPHR preferred
  • Aerospace, defense, or high-growth tech experience a plus

  • Base Salary:  $115,000-$170,000

About this role

True Anomaly is building autonomous spacecraft and space-based capabilities for U.S. defense, and this People Business Partner role supports the corporate functions—Finance, Legal, Business Development, and Mission Readiness—that enable that mission. You'd serve as the dedicated HR strategic partner to leaders in these lean, fast-scaling teams, handling everything from organizational design and talent planning to performance management, employee relations, and compensation support. This is not a generalist HR role; it requires someone who can build credibility quickly with operationally focused leaders, manage competing priorities across multiple small functions, and operate with real autonomy.

The position suits an HR professional with 5–7 years of experience, including at least 3–4 years in a business partner or strategic capacity. You should have a strong track record supporting corporate functions or professional services, with solid grounding in performance management, talent planning, ER, and compensation. The role demands comfort with ambiguity, the ability to own low-to-moderate complexity employee relations cases independently, and skill at surfacing insights from engagement and attrition data to inform business decisions. Aerospace, defense, or high-growth tech experience is valued but not required.

This is a temporary, in-office position in the Denver area, with a base salary of $115,000–$170,000 plus equity, comprehensive healthcare, flexible time off, and other standard benefits. You'll report to the Director of People Business Partners and work in an environment where True Anomaly's stated values—creative problem-solving, ambitious execution, and people as competitive advantage—shape how the role operates day-to-day.
