Why Harvey

At Harvey, we’re transforming how legal and professional services operate — not incrementally, but end-to-end. By combining frontier agentic AI, an enterprise-grade platform, and deep domain expertise, we’re reshaping how critical knowledge work gets done for decades to come.

This is a rare chance to help build a generational company at a true inflection point. With 500+ customers in 50+ countries, strong product-market fit, and world-class investor support, we’re scaling fast and defining a new category in real time. The work is ambitious, the bar is high, and the opportunity for growth — personal, professional, and financial — is unmatched.

Our team is sharp, motivated, and deeply committed to the mission. We move fast, operate with intensity, and take real ownership of the problems we tackle — from early thinking to long-term outcomes. We stay close to our customers — from leadership to engineers — and work together to solve real problems with urgency and care. If you thrive in ambiguity, push for excellence, and want to help shape the future of work alongside others who raise the bar, we invite you to build with us.

At Harvey, the future of professional services is being written today — and we’re just getting started.

Role Overview

We're looking for a People Business Partner to support our fast-growing Engineering, Product, and Design (EPD) teams. This role requires someone with proven, hands-on experience supporting technical and product organizations at scale. You’ll be the go-to thought partner for our CTO, VP of Product, and other EPD leaders—deeply embedded in the work, solving real problems, and building the systems we need to scale.

This is a high-impact, high-trust role for someone who thrives in fast-paced environments and knows how to build credibility with technical and product leaders. You’ll spend time in the trenches in our San Francisco office, supporting first-time managers, tackling retention and performance, and helping build team clarity and cohesion as we grow globally.

The role is based in San Francisco and requires being in the office at least three days per week to stay closely embedded with the EPD teams.

What You’ll Do

• Partner directly with EPD leaders as a trusted advisor with a deep understanding of engineering, product, and design dynamics - on org design, team performance, and leadership challenges, leveraging data to inform strategic decisions, measure the impact of HR programs, and provide actionable insights to leadership

• Coach and support managers, especially as they scale technical and product teams and navigate people issues, fostering a culture of accountability and growth

• Identify and address retention risks and team friction early, through close contact with managers and ICs

• Embed with the EPD org in our SF office—establish trust, gather insight, and help leaders make better decisions while building and sustaining a culture of collaboration, innovation, and continuous improvement

• Support onboarding and integration for new hires and leaders, helping set up teams for long-term growth and success

• Design and implement scalable talent management frameworks, including performance reviews, succession planning, and career pathing, explicitly tailored to technical and product functions in hypergrowth environments

• Serve as a key employee relations resource for EPD employees and leaders managing conflicts, and ensuring fair and transparent resolutions

• Ensure HR policies and practices comply with local labor laws and scale effectively as the company grows.

What You Have

• 7+ years as a People Business Partner with significant, direct experience supporting engineering, product, or design organizations

• A track record of end-to-end ownership—you’ve seen ambiguous problems, taken initiative, and driven results

• Comfort coaching and influencing senior leaders, while also working hands-on with first-time managers

• A builder’s mindset—excited to create simple, effective people systems from the ground up

• Strong EQ and business judgment—you know how to ask the right questions, navigate complexity, and build trust

• Experience working in high-growth environments (bonus: global orgs or distributed teams)

• Strong project and program management skills

• Excellent analytical skills, with the ability to interpret data and translate it into actionable recommendations.

• Ability to work from our San Francisco office at least three days per week
