人力资源业务伙伴，GTM

Our mission is to automate coding. The first step in our journey is to build the best tool for professional programmers, using a combination of inventive research, design, and engineering. Our organization is very flat, and our team is small and talent dense. We particularly like people who are truth-seeking, passionate, and creative. We enjoy spirited debate, crazy ideas, and shipping code. We’re hiring a Senior HR Business Partner to support our rapidly scaling Go-to-Market organization. This person will partner closely with senior leaders across Sales, Marketing, Business Operations, and Recruiting to help build high-performing, durable teams in a fast-moving environment. This is not a traditional HRBP role. You’ll operate as a strategic thought partner and hands-on builder in a high-talent-density company where expectations are high and the pace is fast. We’re looking for someone who combines strong business judgment, operational excellence, and a bias for action — someone willing to do whatever is needed to help the business scale effectively. You’ll work directly with leaders on organizational effectiveness, performance, talent strategy, and leadership quality while helping define what great People partnership looks like at Cursor.

Build and Scale the Function • Partner cross-functionally with Recruiting, Compensation, Legal, Finance, and People Ops

• Operate with high ownership and jump into tactical work when needed

• 8–15+ years of experience in HRBP, People Partner, or related leadership roles supporting high-growth GTM organizations

• Excellent judgment and ability to navigate complex, high-stakes situations

• Comfortable operating with ambiguity and minimal structure

• Pragmatic, direct, highly execution-oriented, and deeply collaborative

• Ability to influence senior leaders through credibility and partnership, not process

You Might Be a Fit If You • View HR as a core business function, not a support function

• Care deeply about leadership quality, accountability, and talent density

• Prefer simple, high-quality systems over heavy process

• Thrive in fast-moving, high-expectation environments

• Enjoy building from first principles and operating close to the business
