Why This Job is Featured on The SaaS Jobs
This People Business Partner role stands out in a SaaS environment where the go-to-market org is central to how the product reaches, retains, and expands customers. With the company operating at meaningful scale and serving a global customer base, the people function is positioned close to the execution layer of revenue teams, where structure, leadership habits, and operating rhythms directly affect outcomes.
For a SaaS career, the value is in building repeatable experience supporting Sales and Customer Success as they mature. That includes learning how to translate shifting commercial priorities into org design decisions, manager coaching, and performance systems that can hold up as headcount grows. The exposure to cross-functional stakeholders also builds a practical understanding of how product, revenue, and people operations intersect in modern subscription businesses.
This role is best suited to an HR partner who prefers high-trust advisory work over program-only ownership, and who is comfortable handling nuanced employee relations alongside leadership development. It fits someone who enjoys working with senior GTM leaders, can move between strategic guidance and day-to-day judgment calls, and values being embedded with the business in a hybrid New York setup.

Job Description
Why Harvey
At Harvey, we’re transforming how legal and professional services operate — not incrementally, but end-to-end. By combining frontier agentic AI, an enterprise-grade platform, and deep domain expertise, we’re reshaping how critical knowledge work gets done for decades to come.
This is a rare chance to help build a generational company at a true inflection point. With 1000+ customers in 58+ countries, strong product-market fit, and world-class investor support, we’re scaling fast and defining a new category in real time. The work is ambitious, the bar is high, and the opportunity for growth — personal, professional, and financial — is unmatched.
Our team is sharp, motivated, and deeply committed to the mission. We move fast, operate with intensity, and take real ownership of the problems we tackle — from early thinking to long-term outcomes. We stay close to our customers — from leadership to engineers — and work together to solve real problems with urgency and care. If you thrive in ambiguity, push for excellence, and want to help shape the future of work alongside others who raise the bar, we invite you to build with us.
At Harvey, the future of professional services is being written today — and we’re just getting started.
