About the role
Delinea is looking for a strategic, hands-on Director, People Business Partner to partner with our Product, Technology, and AI leaders. You'll be the main people advisor to the EVP of Product & Technology and the AI leader. You'll help shape how we organize, hire, develop, and keep the technical talent behind our identity security platform. This role sits on the Global PBP leadership team and helps set the people strategy for the whole company.
This is a pivotal moment to join. Product & Technology is moving to a General Manager (GM) model: the EVP of Product & Technology will lead three GMs, each owning a specialized vertical. You'll be a key partner in making this model work. You'll help leaders set decision rights, define how the GMs and shared functions work together, and adapt talent, org design, and performance practices to fit.
What you'll do
GM operating model design: Partner with the EVP of Product & Technology and the three General Managers to design and embed the GM operating model:
Define decision rights across the GMs, the EVP, and shared functions (who decides, who is consulted, who executes) so accountability is clear and decisions move faster.
Design how each GM business works with shared functions such as Engineering platform, Product Ops, Finance, and the People team, including interfaces, governance forums, and escalation paths.
Adapt org design, talent, and performance practices to the GM model: span-and-layer design, leadership roles and capability gaps, succession, goal setting, and how performance and rewards reflect GM-level accountability.
Lead the people side of the change, including sequencing, leader readiness, communications, and adoption metrics.
Enterprise people strategy: Use what the GM transformation teaches us to shape people programs and practices across Delinea:
Turn what works in P&T into repeatable principles, playbooks, and tools for decision rights, org design, and performance practices.
Partner with the Global PBP team and the People COEs (Talent, Total Rewards, People Ops) to adapt and scale these approaches to other functions where they fit.
Act as a thought partner to the VP, Global PBPs on enterprise org effectiveness, and help build operating model and org design capability across the PBP team.
Strategic partnership: Act as a trusted advisor to P&T and AI leaders and their staff. Turn business priorities into people plans covering org design, talent, and culture.
Org design & workforce planning: Lead org design, span-and-layer reviews, and headcount planning. Plan how AI adoption changes roles, skills, and team structures.
Talent & succession: Run talent reviews, succession planning, and calibration. Find critical engineering and product talent and build plans to keep them.
Leadership coaching: Coach senior leaders and managers on team effectiveness, performance, and change. Build leadership capability across the org.
Change management: Guide teams through reorganizations, integrations, and operating model changes.
Employee relations: Handle complex ER matters with sound judgment, working with Legal and the People COEs.
Total rewards & performance: Work with Total Rewards on technical career frameworks, leveling, offers, and annual pay and performance cycles.
Data-driven insights: Use people data (attrition, engagement, hiring speed, org health) to spot trends and drive decisions.
Culture & engagement: Act on engagement survey results and build an inclusive, high-performing engineering culture.
What you bring
10+ years of progressive HR experience, including 5+ years as a senior HRBP supporting Engineering, Product, or R&D in a B2B SaaS or tech company
Experience partnering with C-suite or EVP-level leaders
A track record in org design, workforce planning, and change management
Experience partnering with an organization that runs a GM or business-unit model, ideally during a move into one. You understand GM accountability, decision rights, and how GMs work with shared functions, and you can coach leaders who are new to the model as well as those who have run it before.
Working knowledge of how software teams operate (agile, product/engineering career paths, technical leveling)
Curiosity about AI and how it's reshaping work, roles, and skills
Strong judgment in employee relations, plus sound knowledge of employment law in multiple countries
Comfort with data and with HR systems (e.g., Workday)
Executive presence and the ability to challenge leaders constructively
Global experience preferred (US, EMEA, APAC, LATAM)
