Space is a warfighting domain. True Anomaly seeks those with the talent and ambition to build the technology that secures it.

OUR MISSION

True Anomaly delivers decisive capabilities for space superiority. We build autonomous spacecraft, advanced payloads, mission software, and space-based interceptors — enabling the U.S. and its Allies to secure the space environment and counter threats from the ultimate high ground.

OUR VALUES

Be the offset. We create asymmetric advantages with creativity and ingenuity.
What would it take? We challenge assumptions to deliver ambitious results.
It’s the people. Our team is our competitive advantage and we are better together.

YOUR MISSION

True Anomaly is scaling fast. The People Business Partner (PBP) function has to be more than a service layer that shows up when something breaks — it has to be a strategic force that leaders trust with their hardest calls, before those calls become problems.

We're looking for a Director of People Business Partners to lead that team. This is not a coordination role. It's a trust-building role. Your PBPs will know their businesses so well — the strategy, the org dynamics, the people risks, the talent gaps — that executives treat them as a core part of the leadership team, not an HR function bolted on the side.

You'll report to the Chief People Officer and sit on the People leadership team. Your team supports every org — engineering, business development, G&A. You'll set the standard for what "great business partnership" looks like here, and you'll build a team that meets it.

10+ years in People roles with progressive responsibility, including several years as a senior PBP or HRBP supporting executives directly.

Experience managing and developing a team of business partners — you know what separates a good BP from a great one, and you can coach the difference.

A track record in high-growth environments. You've been through rapid scaling and know what breaks, and when.

Strong org design instincts. Executives trust your read on people and teams because you've earned it.

Comfort running performance and calibration conversations that push for a higher bar without losing the room.

Sound judgment on ER and risk — you know your limits and you know when to pull in help.

Data fluency. You build a case with numbers, not just instinct.

Directness paired with warmth. You give hard feedback in a way people can actually hear and act on.

Experience in fast-moving tech, aerospace, or defense.

Exposure to scaling through Series C/D or later-stage milestones.

Familiarity with the compliance realities of a cleared or government-facing workforce.
