Job Title: People Business Partner Generalist
Reports to: Sr. Director, People Business Partners
Location: Fully Remote
Duration: 6 months (possible extension)
Full Time: 40 hrs/week
Key takeaways: Although the job description includes Workday, data and project-management work, Okta wants a hands-on generalist HRBP first.
Most profiles were declined because they read as HR systems, operations or analytics specialists, while Okta wants a hands-on generalist HRBP with strong employee relations and manager-coaching experience, with Workday and Excel only as supporting skills.
They’re looking for strong experience in:
What they want to see:
- Recent HR Generalist or HR Business Partner titles
- Employee relations: investigations, conflict resolution, corrective action
- Leave and accommodations (FMLA/ADA) and policy interpretation
- Coaching managers on performance, documentation and discipline
- Partnering directly with managers, employees and HRBPs
- Workday reporting and Excel/Google Sheets as supporting skills
- 3-5 years of experience, ideally in a fast-paced tech environment
What they do NOT want to see:
- HRIS, Workday Analyst, HR Systems or HR Technology profiles
- Resumes that lead with system implementations, migrations, UAT, EIBs, integrations or configuration
- Recent titles like HR Operations, People Operations, HR Analytics, Program Manager or Service Desk
- Bullets focused on process automation, HR tech audits, data governance, payroll operations or vendor consolidation
- Data and analytics as the headline of the profile rather than a supporting skill
- Little or no ER, investigation or manager-coaching experience
