人才业务伙伴

Steno was built on a simple idea - litigation support shouldn't be an obstacle. Since 2018, we've been delivering on that promise, growing into a business with over $90M raised, a team that continues to scale, and a multi-product platform serving thousands of law firms nationwide. We combine expert and hospitable services, proprietary data, and modern technology in a way no one else in the legal industry can.

Our Operations organization is the engine behind that promise - the team that gets depositions covered, transcripts delivered, and clients served on time, every time. This role sits on the People team as the dedicated People Business Partner to that organization, working at two altitudes at once — close enough to the front line to engage with individual contributors and coach managers through the day-to-day, and trusted enough by senior Operations leaders to be a real thought partner as their part of the business grows.

You're an HR Business Partner who's spent real time inside operational environments — places where the pace of the business and the people running it are tightly linked. You've coached frontline managers through hard conversations, and you've also earned the trust of senior leaders on tough people and team decisions. You're equally comfortable in both rooms.

You lead with strong HR Business Partner fundamentals — coaching, performance management, employee relations, workforce planning — and that foundation makes you a trusted advisor for leaders working through hard decisions about their team. You read people, people data, and organizational signals with equal fluency, and you use several inputs to stay ahead of problems.

You're comfortable being the connective layer between centrally designed people programs and the realities of a fast-moving business unit — translating strategy into something a frontline manager can actually use, while also being a real thought partner to senior leaders navigating tough calls. You know where your judgment ends and where something needs to be escalated, and you lead with what's effective, even when it isn't the popular call.

You build trust quickly with operational leaders at every level, from frontline managers to senior executives
