About Strava

Strava is the app for active people. With over 180 million athletes in more than 185 countries, it’s more than tracking workouts—it’s where people make progress together, from new habits to new personal bests. No matter your sport or how you track it, Strava’s got you covered. Find your crew, crush your goals, and make every effort count. Start your journey with Strava today.

Our mission is simple: to motivate people to live their best active lives. We believe in the power of movement to connect and drive people forward.

As a People Business Partner (PBP) at Strava, you will play a critical role in supporting business leaders and teams during a period of continued growth and evolution. This is a hands‑on, roll‑up‑your‑sleeves role for someone who enjoys owning people work end‑to‑end, not just advising on policies, but actively building, executing, and improving people practices as the business scales.

In your first year, you’ll build trusted relationships with managers, confidently support core people moments across the employee lifecycle, and help scale consistent, effective people practices as Strava continues to grow.

This role is ideal for a people professional who thrives in a dynamic, collaborative environment and is eager to grow as a trusted partner to leaders and teams. You may have experience as a people partner, operations partner, chief of staff, or in another role that has developed your skills in relationship‑building, problem‑solving, and supporting organizational success.

This role is ideal for a people professional who thrives in high‑velocity, lean environments, is motivated by ownership and impact, and is eager to grow as a trusted partner to leaders and teams. The ideal teammate will be deeply curious about Strava’s strategies and business goals and passionate about bringing them to life through our teams.

We follow a flexible hybrid model that translates to more than half of your time on‑site in our San Francisco office — three days per week.

• Support manager development by helping leaders navigate core people processes, access resources, and elevate issues thoughtfully when needed.

• Assist in the execution of People programs such as performance management or employee listening initiatives.

• Support managers through organizational change, including team transitions, reorgs, and scaling efforts.

• Identify and contribute to opportunities that improve collaboration, role clarity, and team effectiveness.

• Connect people work to business needs, helping leaders understand trade‑offs, outcomes, and the impact of people decisions.

What You’ll Bring to the Team:

• 4–6 years of experience as a People Partner or in a closely related role supporting managers and teams through core people moments across the employee lifecycle.

• Experience supporting teams in early‑stage, Series C–D, or post‑IPO‑but‑lean environments, where speed, prioritization, and judgment matter.

• Demonstrated ability to build and…
