Why join us?
We’re a global tech company, just not the kind you’re picturing.
Sure, we’ve got catered lunches, team events, cool merch, and yes... dogs in the office. But that’s not why people join.
Our team of nearly a thousand people wakes up every day to make our product and our customers’ lives better. At SafetyCulture, you’ll hear “yes, let’s give it a shot” more often than “that’s not how we do things here.”
People join because we’re building tools that make work better for the 3 billion people who keep the world moving - factory floor operators, baggage handlers, truck drivers, servers, store assistants. The ones who make things happen. We’ve got the scale and innovation you’d expect from big tech. The difference? No endless layers of sign-off. No corporate theatre. Just smart, experienced people solving real problems fast .
The scale is big. But the ownership’s personal. Every full-time team member gets equity - real skin in the game. When we grow, you do too. We’re not perfect, no company is. But this next chapter of our growth is about scaling with intelligence, not just size - fueled by operational maturity, a clear vision, and a strong focus on AI.
This is big tech impact, without the big tech ick. If that excites you more than it scares you, you’ll fit right in.

This role exists to be the strategic people and culture partner to SafetyCulture’s global GTM organisation – Sales and Marketing – ensuring we have the structure, capability, leadership and culture to achieve our growth ambitions. You will partner closely with the Global Head of Sales and the Chief Marketing Officer (both members of the Executive Leadership Team), and lead a small HRBP team to deliver consistent, high‑impact support across AMER, EMEA and APAC, with primary individual coverage of AU GTM and Marketing.

Key Responsibilities:

    Strategic partnering
  • Act as a trusted advisor to the Global Head of Sales, VP CX and CMO on all people, organisation and culture topics across GTM and Marketing globally.
  • Translate GTM and Marketing strategy into people plans covering organisation design, workforce planning, capability, leadership and culture.
  • Lead or support organisation design for GTM and Marketing (structures, roles, spans/layers) to enable scale, clarity and speed of execution.
  • Use people, performance and business data to identify trends, diagnose root causes and recommend pragmatic, commercial solutions.
  • Talent, capability & workforce planning
  • Own the end‑to‑end people plan for GTM and Marketing in partnership with Talent Acquisition, Organisational Development and Compensation & Benefits.
  • Support workforce planning for GTM and Marketing across all regions – defining critical roles, headcount, location mix and hiring priorities.
  • Shape GTM and Marketing capability needs (e.g. enterprise sales, sales leadership, product marketing, demand generation, regional marketing) and partner with P&C CoEs to design and deliver relevant programs.
  • Lead succession and talent reviews for GTM and Marketing, ensuring robust pipelines, development plans and mobility opportunities for critical roles.
  • Performance, reward & culture
  • Coach leaders to lift the quality and consistency of performance management – goal setting, feedback, calibration and development.
  • Partner with Compensation & Benefits and Revenue Operations to ensure incentive and commission plans for GTM are aligned to strategy, drive the right behaviours and are understood by leaders and ICs.
  • Support leaders to build an inclusive, high‑performance culture aligned to SafetyCulture’s values, with particular focus on collaboration between Sales, Marketing and other functions.

  • Build leadership capability in areas such as commercial acumen, leading distributed teams, coaching, feedback and performance management.
  • Team leadership & global ways of working
  • Lead, coach and develop the Senior HRBPs in AMER,EMEA and PHP to deliver consistent, high‑quality HRBP support across all GTM regions.
  • Create clear focus, operating rhythms and shared standards for the GTM HRBP team, aligned with the broader P&C strategy and practices.
  • Role‑model strong collaboration with P&C CoEs (Talent, Compensation & Benefits, & People Operations) as well as other HRBPs.
  • People operations, risk & compliance
  • Ensure core people processes for GTM and Marketing (e.g. hiring, onboarding, transfers, performance, exits) are effective, simple and compliant in partnership with People Operations.
  • Identify and manage people‑related risks in GTM and Marketing (e.g. conduct, performance, employment relations and role changes).
  • Support leaders to navigate complex people matters in a way that is fair, values‑aligned and commercially sound, leveraging legal advice where required.

Required Skills & Experience:

  • Demonstrated success leading and developing HRBP or HR generalist teams, working across multiple legal jurisdictions and cultural differences, navigating complex people matters globally
  • Strong exposure to organisation design, strategic workforce planning and change in a scaling environment.

Stays curious about emerging tools and actively explores how they can raise the bar for the HRBP function.
  • Planning & organising: Manages competing priorities and complex, multi-region workstreams with clarity and discipline — setting clear plans, anticipating blockers and delivering consistently without losing sight of the bigger picture.
  • Resilience & managing ambiguity: Maintains composure and effectiveness in the face of uncertainty, rapid change and competing demands — able to make sound decisions with incomplete information and help others do the same.
  • Conflict resolution: Navigates tension and disagreement between stakeholders constructively — able to surface and work through conflict in a way that preserves relationships, builds trust and reaches workable outcomes.
  • Driving accountability: Sets clear expectations with direct reports and business partners, follows through on commitments and creates a culture where people own their outcomes — balancing support with high standards.
    Communicating with impact: Structures and delivers clear, compelling narratives to senior commercial audiences — able to translate complex people topics into language that resonates with business leaders and drives action.

  • Mindsets & behaviours
  • Growth mindset with a bias for action and experimentation.
  • Pragmatic and solutions‑focused – able to simplify complexity and get to what matters most.
