Senior HRBP

Description

Welcome to Zesty, a dynamic startup at the forefront of cloud optimization innovation!

Zesty’s Mission

Zesty is redefining how companies manage cloud infrastructure - automating resource scaling, optimizing costs, and improving efficiency with intelligent, real-time solutions. Our platform helps engineering teams focus on building great products instead of managing cloud waste.

About The Role

We’re looking for a sharp, hands-on HR Business Partner to support our Engineering organization.

This is a true business-facing role - working closely with leaders to improve team performance, strengthen leadership, and ensure the organization is set up to scale.

You’ll operate at the intersection of business and people: designing effective organizations, driving change, and coaching managers—while staying close to execution and the day-to-day reality of the business.

As part of a global HR team, you’ll also contribute to company-wide initiatives and bring a practical, business-first perspective to how we grow.

What will you do?

• Partner with managers and leaders to improve team performance, productivity, and org effectiveness
• Identify talent gaps, succession risks, and critical roles - and take action
• Lead and support org design and change processes (reorgs, leadership transitions, scaling challenges)
• Coach managers and challenge when needed
• Use data and insights to spot trends and drive decisions
• Drive key HR processes with a focus on impact
• Handle employee relations with sound judgment, balancing empathy with business needs
• Ensure compliance with Israeli labor laws and company policies
• Collaborate with HR peers and lead or contribute to cross-company initiatives
  
  

Requirements

What you need?

• 5+ years of experience as an HRBP, preferably in a scaling tech environment
• Proven ability to influence leaders and build trust, while confidently pushing back when needed
• Experience leading org changes, managing underperformance, and navigating ambiguity
• A true hands-on approach—comfortable operating both strategically and operationally
• A builder mindset—you take ownership, identify what’s missing, and build solutions from scratch when needed
• Strong business acumen and ability to connect people decisions to business outcomes
• Experience supporting Engineering or Product teams – an advantage
• Solid understanding of Israeli labor laws
• Excellent communication skills in Hebrew and English
  
  

You’ll thrive here if you…

• Take ownership and get things done
• Are comfortable in a fast-paced, evolving environment
• Know how to balance people sensitivity with business needs
• Aren’t afraid to challenge, simplify, and make tough calls when needed

One Team - We genuinely trust each other which enables us to act as one team working together toward the same mission. All team members are equally important

Open Communication & Feedback - When facing challenges, we always look for fresh ideas and ways to overcome them and We embrace constructive feedback that can and should be given to anyone
