🎧 Intro (Nostalgia Reinvention)

Napster changed how the world experienced music. Now we’re helping redefine how modern companies operate in the AI era.

As Napster continues to evolve into an AI-first company, we’re not only building innovative products — we’re also building smarter, more scalable internal systems that support the people behind them.

We’re looking for a People Operations Business Partner (Compensation & Analytics) who’s equal parts strategic, analytical, and operational — someone who enjoys working with people, data, compensation, and systems to help organizations run better.

You’ll work closely with leadership to help manage and improve how we think about compensation, organizational structure, workforce analytics, and internal people operations.

This is not a traditional HRBP role focused only on employee relations.
