What are the responsibilities and job description for the HR Business Partner position at Atmosphere TV?
(Austin, TX)
About Atmosphere:
Atmosphere is the leading streaming TV platform built specifically for businesses. Unlike ad networks or signage companies, Atmosphere is the only true TV company whose first priority is to entertain television audiences outside of the home. Our content is designed to be fun, engaging, and worth watching, transforming waiting rooms, gyms, bars, and restaurants into better experiences for customers and better businesses for owners.
We are the first and only company to think about both the business owner and their customers when creating TV content. With 60,000 venues and a global audience of over 150 million monthly viewers, Atmosphere is redefining what TV means outside the living room.
About the Role:
As HR Business Partner, you’ll support managers in building strong, accountable teams. Reporting to the VP, Human Resources, this role is focused on performance, coaching, and employee relations, with a clear expectation that issues are addressed early and directly.
You will partner with managers to navigate feedback conversations, performance concerns, and team challenges with clarity and consistency. You are comfortable in hard conversations, steady in sensitive situations, and disciplined about documentation. This role is ideal for someone who wants to build strong managers, protect standards, and operate as a steady, trusted partner inside a growing, AI-enabled company.
Key Responsibilities:
Don’t meet every single requirement? Research shows that women and underrepresented groups often hesitate to apply unless they meet all the criteria. At Atmosphere, we’re committed to building a diverse, inclusive team where creativity, innovation, and teamwork thrive. If you're excited about this role but your experience doesn’t perfectly align with every qualification, we still encourage you to apply—you might be the right fit for this or another role.
