Pie Insurance
Pie's mission is to empower small businesses to thrive by making commercial insurance affordable and as easy as pie. We leverage technology to transform how small businesses buy and experience commercial insurance.
Like our small business customers, we are a diverse team of builders, dreamers, and entrepreneurs who are driven by core values and operating principles that guide every decision we make.
At Pie, our "employees" are team members, and we call ourselves Pie-oneers. The Principal People Partner ensures the successful contribution of our Pie-oneers by driving people and organizational strategies that enable and empower our leaders to lead their teams to achieve their highest-impact goals and drive success across the business.
As Pie’s People team evolves, we are seeking two highly strategic yet execution-focused Principal People Partners to serve as a trusted advisor to senior leaders, driving people and organizational strategies that enable our leaders and teams to achieve their highest-impact goals and drive business success. These highly collaborative roles partner with executive leadership to design and implement talent strategies, foster high-performing teams, and build a culture of performance, agility and integrative thinking.
The Principal People Partner role reports directly to the Chief People Officer and works cross-functionally across the PTE team and senior managers (primarily Director+), including the CEO and Pie’s Senior Leadership Team (SLT). As a senior level individual contributor, the Principal People Partner brings considerable leadership influence and is responsible for aligning people strategy with business objectives, leading change management, and providing expert consultation on all aspects of the team member lifecycle.
