People Business Partner

ABOUT US

At Gozney, we're on a mission to change the way the world cooks outdoors. Since 2010, Gozney has made cooking with fire easy by pioneering next-level pizza ovens. Harnessing knowledge from our origins in commercial ovens, Gozney’s multi-award-winning outdoor pizza ovens are beautiful, high-performing, durable tools designed for chefs and made intuitive for beginners, so anyone can make, create, cook, connect, discover, and grow. We are creators of new experiences, and we’re seeking motivated individuals excited to join our expanding team and embark on an incredible journey.

SUMMARY

The People Business Partner will be a dedicated global People partner. You will build a deep understanding of each function’s strategy, talent and growth plans, then turn that insight into practical people priorities that help teams perform, scale and do the best work of their careers.

You will be a visible and trusted presence for employees across the business, particularly within our US and Utah teams. This role is about protecting our people, amplifying Gozney’s values and ensuring we live the culture we aspire to create. You will coach leaders, support employees through all moments, challenge when standards are not being met and help build teams where accountability, trust and care can coexist.

The role blends strategic partnership with hands-on execution. You may move from an organization design conversation to supporting an employee relations matter, improving onboarding or helping a manager navigate performance. You will also strengthen the systems and practices that enable Gozney to grow, including our HRIS, surveys, performance reviews and cross-functional People projects.
