People Business Partner- Data Center Operations

About the Role

This role sits at the center of CoreWeave's Data Center Operations organization, partnering with first-line and senior leaders through a period of rapid growth and increasing complexity. You will bring a clear point of view, operate independently across complex situations, and embed deeply enough in the business to anticipate what leaders need before they articulate it.

Success in this role means turning priorities into practical, scalable solutions that help the organization operate effectively, leaving the function better than you found it.

Responsibilities

• Strategic Partnership: Serve as an influential thought partner to Data Center Operations leaders, translating business goals into people decisions that improve execution, support growth, and strengthen organizational effectiveness.
• Execute with Impact: Consistently deliver high-quality outcomes across complex, ambiguous workstreams. Balance strategic thinking with hands-on execution, considering upstream and downstream implications of decisions.
• Pattern Recognition & Insights: Leverage data, observations, and deep domain expertise to identify recurring patterns across Data Center Operations, surfacing signals proactively and synthesizing them into clear actions.
• Enable Change at Speed: Lead organizational change in a dynamic, fast-paced environment, ensuring seamless transitions, transparency, and business continuity.
• Talent Management: Drive workforce planning, talent calibration, and performance management activities across Data Center Operations, maintaining standards on job architecture and leveling.
• People Risk & Workplace Advisory: Independently manage complex people matters, balancing risk, speed, and business practicality with sound judgment.
• Meet the Business Where It Lives: Travel regularly to data center sites (~30% travel) and build credibility with frontline teams and operations environments.
• Cross-functional Delivery: Lead effective collaboration with People Team COEs and other stakeholders to deliver scalable, business-aligned people solutions.

Qualifications

• 6+ years of progressive and relevant HR Business Partner experience, including significant time supporting operations, industrial, or other frontline populations
• Demonstrated experience owning core HR processes end-to-end: performance calibration, compensation cycles, workforce planning, and employee relations investigations
• Proven track record advising and influencing managers and senior leaders (Director+) on complex, ambiguous people matters
• Working knowledge of employment law and HR compliance as it applies to a 24/7, multi-site operations environment
• Experience partnering cross-functionally with Legal, Talent, Finance, and People Ops/COE teams
• Proficiency with HRIS and talent systems (e.g., Greenhouse, Workday, Culture Amp, or equivalent)
• Ability to travel approximately 30% to data center sites
