Why should I Apply:

At Sonar, we’re a group of brilliant, motivated, and driven professionals working hard to help organizations build responsible, secure, high-quality code quickly and systematically. We build solutions that don’t just solve symptoms of problems – we fix problems at the source – source code, to be specific.

We have a dynamic culture with employees worldwide and hub offices in the USA, Switzerland, the UK, Singapore, and Germany. We believe team members should have the opportunity to come to work every day, work on a product they are proud of, love what they do, and feel energized by their peers. With our roots deep in the open source community, we’re all about the mission: provide solutions that deliver Clean Code.

The Impact You’ll Have

We are seeking a world-class, experienced, proactive Human Resources Business Partner (HRBP) to join our People Operations team. The HRBP will play a crucial role in designing and implementing the employee experience and journey through HR initiatives that support the overall business objectives, supporting the growth journey and engagement of our SonarSourcers.

On a daily basis, you will

Provide day-to-day support to leaders, which will include answering questions about policy application in specific employee cases, driving talent and people development plans, and ensuring that day-to-day performance management guidance is provided to leaders.
Partner with business leaders to understand organizational goals and challenges, providing strategic HR guidance and insights.
Change management: Help employees adapt to new ways of working and manage the organization's change process.
Conducts weekly meetings with respective business units. Consult with line management, providing HR guidance when appropriate.
Analyze trends and metrics in partnership with the HR group to develop solutions, programs, and policies.
Manage and resolve complex employee relations issues. Conducts effective, thorough, and objective investigations.
Maintain in-depth knowledge of legal requirements related to the day-to-day management of employees, reducing legal risks and ensuring regulatory compliance.
Partner with the legal department as needed/required, under the guidance of the CHRO.
Provide day-to-day management guidance to line managers (e.g., coaching, counseling, disciplinary actions).
Work closely with managers and employees to improve work relationships, build morale, and increase productivity and retention.
Provide guidance and input on business unit restructure, workforce planning, and succession planning.
Perform other related duties as assigned.

The skills you will demonstrate

Act as a culture ambassador by embodying and promoting a positive attitude and fostering a collaborative and inclusive work environment. Positivity is key in interactions and engagements with colleagues, clients, and stakeholders.
You will have experience working closely with leaders in a startup or scale-up environment (additional experience in a larger organization would be a bonus).
You have solid knowledge of employee relations processes and relevant employment legislation (additional experience or knowledge of other countries would be advantageous).
Experience managing and closing complex employee relations cases independently.
You are highly curious and collaborative, proactively seeking out a range of opinions and perspectives. You also have the ability to build relationships and work effectively across teams and departments.
You have personal gravitas, you articulate your thought processes with conviction, back up your ideas with data & evidence, and don’t shy away from debating the best course of action for the business.
You are able to deal with ambiguity, tight timelines, and multiple competing priorities in a “start-up” type of environment.
Excellent communication and presentation skills, with the ability to articulate complex concepts clearly and concisely.
Strong project management skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
You must consistently be in the office during designated working hours to facilitate collaboration and ensure efficient communication with team members.
Limited travel required; attendance at business-required events may be necessary, but travel is generally minimal and infrequent.

Why you will love it here:

• Our culture and mission set us apart. We have a dynamic work culture that values respect and kindness – and embraces the right to fail (and get right back up again!). We believe that the best idea wins and everyone has a voice.

• We believe that great people make a great company. We value people skills as much as technical skills and strive to keep things friendly and laid-back while still being passionate leaders in our domains. Our 550+ SonarSourcers from 33 different nationalities can relate!

• We embrace work-life balance. It is important to maintain a healthy work-life balance. This is why we have a flexible work policy that includes remote and in-office hybrid work (minimum three days a week in the office - Monday/Tuesday/Thursday).

• We have a growth mindset. We love to learn and believe that continuous education is critical to our success. In an ever-changing industry, new skills are a must, and we're happy to help our team acquire them.

We prioritize Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion:

At Sonar, we are a global workforce and recognize the value of different backgrounds, and global cultures.

We are committed to creating a diverse work environment and are proud to be an equal-opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will be considered for employment without regard to race, colour, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, genetics, disability, age, or veteran status.

All offers of employment at Sonar are contingent upon the clear results of a comprehensive background check conducted prior to the start date.
