What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior People Partner, GTM position at Hightouch?
About Hightouch
Hightouch is the modern AI platform for marketing and growth teams. Our AI agents reimagine marketing workflows, allowing marketers to create content, plan campaigns, and execute strategies with transformational velocity and performance.
Hightouch is a rare company built on the intersection of two fundamental technological shifts: advances in LLMs and agentic AI, and the creation and rapid adoption of cloud data warehouses like Snowflake and Databricks. Building on these tailwinds, we’ve become a leader in AI marketing and partner with industry leaders like Domino’s, Chime, Spotify, Ramp, Whoop, Grammarly, and over 1000 others.
Our team focuses on making a meaningful impact for our customers. We approach challenges with first-principles thinking, move quickly and efficiently, and treat each other with compassion and kindness. We look for team members who are strong communicators, have a growth mindset, and are motivated and persistent in achieving our goals.
About The Role
We’re hiring our first People Partner at Hightouch — a senior, fully autonomous partner who will help shape how we support managers and employees as we continue to scale globally. You’ll work closely with GTM leaders and managers across the company, acting as a trusted advisor on everything from employee relations to performance to compensation.
You won’t inherit a fully built playbook — you’ll help create it. If you’ve worked in a high-growth, global startup and enjoy operating with judgment, nuance, and impact, this role gives you the opportunity to leave a meaningful imprint on how People Partnering is done at Hightouch. This role reports directly to the Head of People Operations.
What You'll Do
The salary range for this position is $160,000-$220,000 USD per year, which is location independent in accordance with our remote-first policy. We also offer meaningful equity compensation in the form of ISO options, and offer early exercise and a 10-year post-termination exercise window.
E-Verify Statement
Hightouch participates in E-Verify. We will provide the Social Security Administration, and if necessary, the Department of Homeland Security, with information from each new employee’s Form I-9 to confirm work authorization. Please note that we do not use this information to pre-screen job applicants.
