Why This Job is Featured on The SaaS Jobs
Harvey sits in a category-defining corner of SaaS where enterprise software meets regulated, high-stakes professional services. A People Business Partner role here is notable because it supports go-to-market functions in a company operating at global scale, where customer growth and geographic expansion tend to place real pressure on org design, leadership capability, and consistent people practices across regions.
For a SaaS HR leader, the long-term career value is in learning how people strategy connects to commercial execution. Partnering closely with GTM leadership builds fluency in capacity planning, performance systems, and manager development in environments where teams expand quickly and roles evolve. The remit also signals exposure to building repeatable programs that can be adapted from a US core and localized for EMEA, a common challenge in international SaaS scaling.
This role suits someone who prefers being embedded with business leaders rather than operating as a policy-only HR function. It will resonate with professionals who enjoy turning ambiguity into operating rhythm, coaching managers through change, and balancing employee experience with compliance across multiple jurisdictions. It is a strong match for a PBP who wants regional ownership while staying connected to a global people team.

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 60+ 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.
Role Overview
Harvey is transforming how the world's best legal professionals work, and EMEA is central to that growth. We're looking for a People Business Partner (PBP) to help us scale thoughtfully—building the people infrastructure, leadership capability, and culture that will define Harvey in this region for years to come.
This is a rare opportunity to be the founding PBP for EMEA, which means you'll have significant influence over how we grow, who we hire, and what kind of organization we build. You'll partner directly with senior GTM leaders who are building something ambitious and expect their People Partner to be a true strategic advisor to help them scale effectively, lead with clarity, and foster a culture that’s ambitious, high-performing, and deeply connected to Harvey’s mission.
This is a high-impact role for someone who thrives in fast-moving environments, builds credibility quickly, and knows how to turn insight into action. You’ll be close to the work—partnering on org design, performance, and culture—while building the systems and practices that help our teams do their best work.
What You'll Do
Shape how we scale in EMEA. You’ll be the first PBP on the ground—building the systems, practices, and culture that define how we grow.
Build scalable people systems. Design and refine programs for performance, development, and progression that evolve as we grow. Partner closely with our US team to adapt core programs and design what’s right for EMEA.
Partner with exceptional leaders. Work alongside ambitious, high-performing GTM and business leaders who move fast and expect impact.
Grow something meaningful. Help scale our EMEA team, ensuring we grow with clarity, accountability, and trust.
Coach and develop managers. Enable leaders—from first-timers to seasoned operators—to build and lead high-performing teams.
Stay close to the business. Anticipate talent needs, surface insights, and drive initiatives that strengthen engagement, retention, and performance.
Lead with judgment and empathy. Manage sensitive people matters with clarity and discretion while ensuring compliance across the UK and EU.
What You Have
7+ years of experience as a People Business Partner, including work with GTM or business teams.
A track record of turning ambiguity into structure and delivering meaningful impact.
Strong business judgment and an ability to connect people strategy to business outcomes.
Experience coaching and influencing leaders across levels and functions.
A builder’s mindset — practical, iterative, and focused on what drives results.
High EQ, sound judgment, and a calm, steady presence in fast-moving environments.
Experience in high-growth or global organizations.

Strong program management and analytical skills.
Ability to work from our London office at least three days per week.
