Senior HR Business Partner, Product & Development

Safe Software is seeking a Senior HR Business Partner to support Product & Development, focusing on change management and talent strategy during an AI transformation. Safe Software transforms organizations with FME, the only All-Data Any-AI Enterprise Integration Platform connecting all your data, anywhere, at any velocity.

• •Hold the tension between delivery and transformation.
• •Talent & Performance Consulting
• •Build calibration that changes decisions.
• •Revamp a career path that's ready for the next chapter.

• •Strategic Partnership
• •Help leaders see around corners.
• •Use data with craft.
• •AI — Map Your Own Leverage
