We give district leaders the visibility and control they need to keep learning safe, secure, and effective -and we need an HR Business Partner who can roll up their sleeves, build scalable people practices, and show up as a true strategic partner to our Sales and Marketing teams.

You'll be part strategist, part coach, part process architect, part trusted confidant - and 100% focused on making Lightspeed a place where great people do their best work.

ABOUT OUR ATX HQ
If your role includes spending time onsite, you will LOVE being at the ranch. Our uniquely Lightspeed (and totally Texas) corporate headquarters has everything Lightspeeders need to get the job done – and a whole lot more.
All within 31 sprawling acres of Live Oak trees that foster a natural habitat for local wildlife. It is not uncommon to be greeted daily by whitetail deer. (Maybe it wants to join your meeting?)
