Senior HRBP at ElevenLabs - AI Startup Career Growth in Columbus
Career & Market Insight
High-Growth, High-Stakes HRBP Role: ElevenLabs is scaling from 1,000 to 4,000 employees — this is a rare opportunity to be a People Partner during a hyper-growth phase at a $22B-valued AI company. The organizational complexity you'll navigate is real and résumé-defining.
Compensation: No salary range is listed, which is a mild yellow flag for transparency. For a senior HRBP role at a Series D+ AI company in the US, market rates typically range from $130,000–$180,000 annually, with equity being a meaningful component at this valuation stage. Candidates should negotiate firmly and ask about equity vesting.
Skills You'll Build:
- Cross-regional HR expertise spanning North America and LATAM employment law and norms.
- Organizational design at scale — spans, layers, succession planning for a rapidly expanding revenue org.
- Executive-level stakeholder management (working directly with CRO-level leadership).
- Employee Relations and legal collaboration on complex cases.
Green Flags: No bureaucratic job titles, lean teams, AI-first culture, and direct CRO access suggest high visibility and fast career progression. The global team structure means your work has immediate multi-regional impact.
Red Flags to Watch: The "high-velocity, ambiguous environment" language and 1,000→4,000 growth target signals potential for burnout. As the sole People Partner for the entire Revenue org across two continents, scope creep is a real risk — clarify headcount and support structures in interviews.
About ElevenLabs
ElevenLabs is an AI research and product company transforming how we interact with technology.
We launched in January 2023 with the first human-like AI voice model. Today, we serve millions of users and thousands of businesses — from fast-growing startups to large enterprises like Deutsche Telekom and Meta. Our investors include Andreessen Horowitz, ICONIQ Growth, and Sequoia. We've raised $781M in funding and our last valuation was $22B.
We have expanded from voice into three main platforms:
- ElevenAgents enables businesses to deliver seamless and intelligent customer experiences, with the integrations, testing, monitoring, and reliability necessary to deploy voice and chat agents at scale.
- ElevenCreative empowers creators and marketers to generate and edit speech, music, image, and video across 70+ languages.
- ElevenAPI gives developers access to our leading AI audio foundational models.
Everything we do is the result of the creativity and commitment of our team — builders doing the best work of their lives. We are researchers, engineers, and operators. IOI medalists and ex-founders. If you want to work hard and create lasting positive impact, we want to hear from you.
How We Work
- High-velocity: Rapid experimentation, lean autonomous teams, and minimal bureaucracy.
- Impact not job titles: We don't have job titles. Instead, it's about the impact you have. No task is above or beneath you.
- AI first: We use AI to move faster with higher-quality results — across engineering, growth, and operations.
- Excellence everywhere: Everything we do should match the quality of our AI models.
- Global team: We prioritize your talent, not your location.
What We Offer
- Innovative culture: You'll be part of a generational opportunity to define the trajectory of AI, surrounded by a team pushing the boundaries of what's possible.
- Growth paths: Joining ElevenLabs means joining a dynamic team with countless opportunities to drive impact — beyond your immediate role and responsibilities.
- Learning & development: ElevenLabs proactively supports professional development through an annual discretionary stipend.
- Social travel: We provide an annual discretionary stipend to meet up with colleagues each year, however you choose.
- Annual team offsite: Each year, we bring the entire team together in a new location — past offsites have included Croatia, Italy, and Cancún.
- Co-working: If you're not located near one of our main hubs, we offer a monthly co-working stipend.
About the Role
We're scaling from 1,000 → 4,000 employees across 50+ countries, and the complexity of our teams, hubs, and workflows is growing quickly. Our People Partners play a critical role in enabling leads, supporting employees, and protecting performance and culture as we grow.
As a People Partner at ElevenLabs, you'll sit at the intersection of leadership coaching, organisational design, performance, and day-to-day people guidance. You'll be the dedicated People Partner for our entire Revenue organisation across North America and LATAM, working closely with the Revenue leadership team to understand their rhythms, challenges, and talent needs deeply.
You'll meet proactively with leads and teams, unblock people issues, and help architect the organisation ahead of scale, with Employee Relations and employment counsel on hand when cases need them.
This is a high-impact role for someone who can context-switch quickly, advise with confidence, build trust across functions, and bring clarity and calm to fast-moving environments.
You Will
- Act as the dedicated People Partner for Revenue across North America and LATAM, owning the people agenda for the organisation end to end.
- Partner deeply with the Revenue leadership team to improve team health, performance, talent density, and organizational clarity.
- Run proactive 1:1 sessions with leads, surfacing issues early and guiding leads through People challenges and change.
- Lead organisational design for Revenue as it scales, advising on spans and layers, team structures, staffing needs, capability gaps, and succession planning.
- Support key People programs (performance reviews, engagement, recognition, and lead enablement) for the Revenue org.
- Collaborate with Employee Relations and employment counsel on investigations, complex performance cases, and early-stage ER issues, escalating at the right time.
- Identify patterns across teams and regions and turn them into insights, frameworks, or new People initiatives that help scale smoothly.
- Partner closely with the Revenue People Partner for International to compare themes and surface them upwards to the CRO.
- Partner with People Ops & Compliance teams to support terminations, mobility, local requirements, and compliance-heavy workflows across North America and LATAM.
Requirements
- Experience supporting senior leaders and teams through the full range of people topics: performance, relations, coaching, growth, restructuring, and organizational design.
- Hands-on organizational design experience, including spans and layers, team structures, and succession planning.
- Experience guiding leaders and teams through change, such as restructures, team moves, or new ways of working.
- Strong judgment and the ability to handle sensitive issues with discretion, clarity, and fairness.
- Comfortable working alongside Employee Relations and employment counsel on sensitive cases.
- Ability to thrive in a high-velocity, ambiguous environment and make decisions with incomplete information.
- Comfortable owning both strategic partnership and hands-on execution as the dedicated People Partner for North America and LATAM.
Experience partnering with teams in North America and LATAM, or an understanding of how People practices and employment norms differ across those regions, is a plus.
