The PBP works primarily through leaders - not around them. ## **What you’ll bring** * **Knowledge of the Ukrainian language is a must** * 5+ years of experience in HRBP, Head of People, HRD, organisational partnership, or similar leadership-facing roles. * Strong experience working with leaders in fast-moving environments. * Ability to challenge stakeholders directly, constructively, and without unnecessary politics. * Strong judgment and ability to operate in ambiguous situations. * High level of ownership, maturity, and communication clarity. * Ability to connect people and topics with business reality and execution impact. * Comfortable with difficult conversations, organisational tension, and imperfect environments. * Ability to remain calm, structured, and pragmatic under pressure. * Ability to build trust with strong personalities and leadership teams while still being able to challenge them when needed. * Ability to simplify complexity instead of adding bureaucracy. * Strong business and organisational awareness. * Interest in scalable organisational practices, operational clarity, and AI-supported People infrastructure. ## **What you’ll do** * Partner with leaders on hiring, team structure, organisational effectiveness, performance, ownership gaps, and delivery risks. * Push discussions toward decisions and outcomes instead of endless alignment loops. * Help leaders define what “strong” actually means for critical roles and challenge weak hiring compromises. * Support leaders in addressing underperformance early and directly. * Identify early organisational signals such as leadership gaps, burnout, unhealthy dependencies, misalignment, or execution risks. * Help improve feedback quality, leadership practices, and decision consistency across teams. * Support practical and scalable organisational approaches instead of overcomplicated HR frameworks. * Contribute to improving internal documentation, operational clarity, and AI-supported People knowledge infrastructure over time. **This role is not:** * an employee support hotline; * a process coordinator; * a “culture activities” owner; * a passive mediator avoiding uncomfortable conversations; * or someone hiding behind frameworks instead of making judgment calls. **The goal of the role is not to centralise ownership inside the People function.** We expect PBPs to strengthen leadership capability, improve decision quality, and help leaders become more effective and self-sufficient over time. **We value:** * clarity over ambiguity; * direct communication over corporate politeness; * speed with accountability; * impact over activity. ## **What we offer** * Hybrid work & flexible schedule * Medical insurance (+1 coverage option) * Professional development reimbursement * Online English classes * Employee referral bonus program ## **Recruitment process** * HR Interview * Leadership Interview * Final Interview If you are comfortable working closely with leadership, solving organisational problems, and helping strong teams scale without unnecessary bureaucracy, we’d love to hear from you. *By submitting your application, you acknowledge that your personal data will be processed in accordance with our* [*Privacy Policy*](https://playson.com/privacy)*.* ## Apply [Apply on Playson]() Canonical job page:
