HR Business Partner

At Appodeal, we’re more than just a company—we’re a team united by a common mission: Help people discover and grow their talents through products that enable successful mobile app businesses!

We take pride in our cutting-edge product and our internationally dispersed team of talented professionals.

Here’s what we value, and what we hope you do too:

• Continuous Learning and Growth: We are passionate about learning, growing personally, and building rewarding careers.
• Making an Impact: We are committed to building a history-defining company that leaves a lasting impact on the mobile app industry.
• Solving Exciting Challenges: We tackle complex problems every day, supported by a team of world-class professionals and mentors.
• Enjoying the Journey: We believe in having fun while working toward our goals.

• →Partner with managers on the people side of running their teams: structure, workload, hiring needs, and overall team health.
• →Coach and support managers as they grow into their roles, with direct, honest feedback rather than platitudes.
• →Help managers navigate performance conversations, ratings, and other difficult calls, and be willing to challenge a decision that doesn't hold up.
• →Act as a trusted, informal point of contact for employees who want a perspective outside their own manager.
• →Identify high-potential people alongside their managers and help build development paths, mentorship, and coaching, whether internal or external.
• →Contribute to how we approach learning and development more broadly, with a healthy respect for learning through real work, not just formal programs.
• →Bring an outside eye to team dynamics and process, and flag what isn't working before it becomes a bigger problem.

• Solid experience as an HR Business Partner or in a similar embedded HR role.
• Comfortable operating close to the business, not just close to the HR process.
• A strong communicator who builds trust quickly, at every level, including with people more senior than you.
• Good instincts for when someone needs support and when a harder conversation, or a different decision, is what's actually needed.
• Someone who believes high standards and genuinely caring about people aren't in conflict, and who's a little uneasy with kindness that quietly protects underperformance.
• Comfortable with ambiguity. We don't have a fixed playbook for this role, and we don't want someone who needs one.

More than a specific background, we're looking for someone who shares a certain philosophy about people and performance: that most learning happens on the job, not in a classroom; that a good HR partner is closer to a referee than a service desk, carrying both a whistle and a red card; and that avoiding a hard conversation to spare someone's feelings rarely does them, or the team, any favors in the long run. If that's already how you think, the rest of the details — process, tools, structure — we can work out together.
