People Business Partner

👋 About Us

sunday builds the future of hospitality payments — fast, simple, human. We’re a global team on a mission to make every restaurant experience seamless.

We’re scaling fast in the US and looking for a People Business Partner USA who will act as a true strategic partner to our leaders — ensuring our teams are well supported, our operations run flawlessly, and our People strategy stays one step ahead of the business.

💼 About The Role

As the People Business Partner USA, you’ll be the key HR partner for our US managers, driving operational excellence, anticipating people topics before they escalate, and building a high-performing, engaged, and scalable organization. You’ll also co-lead the global HR operations roadmap, ensuring that sunday’s People foundations are robust, automated, and built for growth.

🔥 Key Responsibilities

Be the trusted People Partner to our US managers

• Coach and advise managers through complex or sensitive situations (performance management, team dynamics, compensation, or career development).
• Help leaders structure and scale their teams, defining the right roles, ownerships, and success criteria.
  
  

Deliver robust and scalable People Operations

• Own and operate payroll for all US entities: no delays, no errors, full compliance on salary, benefits, and bonuses.
• Lead all People admin topics with speed, accuracy, and clarity: respond to critical queries within 1 hour, medium priority within 6 hours, and lower priority within 24 hours.
• Keep all systems (HiBob, Notion, Slack) 100% accurate and reliable: org charts, policies, and team data fully updated at the end of each day.
• Lead process improvements across HR operations: automate manual flows, evaluate new tools, and leverage AI or integrations to improve speed and precision.
  
  

Drive the People lifecycle with structure and consistency

• Lead on contracts, amendments, and probations with rigor and speed; ensure zero missed follow-up or compliance gaps.
• Ensure performance cycles (scorecards, feedback cadence, reviews) are tracked, updated, and respected.
• Act as the HR reference for both employees and managers on policies, compensation, and development pathways.
• Co-lead the HR operations roadmap to improve tools, processes, and cross-market scalability.
  
  

Anticipate trends, strengthen engagement, and represent the market

• Monitor market insights on compensation, benefits, and culture trends across the US to keep sunday competitive and compliant.
• Identify engagement levers across the US team and partner with managers to design meaningful rituals, recognition, and growth opportunities.
• Represent sunday’s culture locally and ensure our values (simple, trust, beyond) are visible in how we work and lead.
• Act as a sparring partner to managers: challenge thinking, bring clarity, and help them make people decisions faster and smarter.
