Senior People Business Partner

 

We want to instill cybersecurity good practices to employees in a way that's actually effective, and entertaining enough so that employees don't feel like they're working. Think Duolingo but for cybersecurity.

 

We created a platform to easily rollout a cybersecurity awareness program: the platform sends chat-based 4-minutes long courses to teams. Following the courses, the other side of the platform simulates phishing attacks, to prepare employees to face hackers, but in a safe environment.

 

Created in 2020, Riot has raised $45m with leading investors (Y Combinator, Left Lane, Base10, Funders Club and Frst Capital) and is now protecting more than 2,000,000 employees in over 2,000 companies (including Intercom, Deel, and Deezer) all over the world.

 

Cybersecurity is everywhere. It's impacting everyone, everyday, and it's becoming the number one risk to any organization, whether it's a small business or a big firm. Yet, the cybersecurity culture in most companies is a disaster. Hackers are leveraging this by targeting the weakest link: the employees. We're on a mission to fix that.

 

You will join the People team and partner closely with Riot’s managers to support the company’s growth. Your main focus will be to help build high-performing teams by advising leaders on performance, organization, and talent development as Riot scales globally.

 

 

You have 6+ years of experience, including at least 3 years in a senior People Business Partner or People Leadership role in a demanding, high-growth environment (scale-up, tech, consulting, or similar).

You have a track record of advising and coaching senior managers and leadership on complex people topics, not just executing processes.

You combine strong business judgment with the ability to challenge managers constructively while maintaining their trust.

You have solid knowledge of French labor law and are comfortable handling legal People topics hands-on.

You're rigorous, action-oriented, and comfortable operating without a large People team around you.

You thrive in fast-moving organizations where headcount, roles, and org structures evolve quickly.

You don't need to be an expert on cybersecurity, but you need to be motivated by the mission.

You have a full professional proficiency in English and native in French.

You're based in Paris or you're willing to relocate.
