Why project44?

At project44, we believe in better.

We challenge the status quo because we know a better supply chain isn’t just possible—it’s essential. Better for our customers. Better for their business. Better for the world.

With our Decision Intelligence Platform, Movement, we’re redefining how global supply chains operate. By transforming fragmented logistics data into real-time, AI-powered insights, we empower companies to connect instantly, see clearly, act decisively, and automate intelligently. Our Supply Chain AI enhances visibility, drives smarter execution, and unlocks next-gen applications that keep businesses moving forward.

Headquartered in Chicago, IL, with a 2nd HQ in Bengaluru, India, we are powered by a diverse global team that is tackling the toughest logistics challenges with innovation, urgency, and purpose. If you’re driven to solve meaningful problems, leverage AI to scale rapidly, drive impact daily, and be part of a high-performance team – we should talk.

About the role:

At project44, our Senior HR Business Partners are more than advisors—they’re embedded, trusted partners who deeply understand the business and aren’t afraid to dig in. Supporting our Product, Finance, & Business Operations functions, you’ll help shape a high-performance, inclusive culture where people thrive. You’ll be a coach, a confidante, a strategist, and sometimes, a scrappy doer. You’ll work directly with leaders and cross-functional partners to bring people strategies to life that unlock growth, engagement, and retention.

Responsibilities:

  • Partner with leaders to shape and execute talent strategies that align with business goals.
  • Coach leaders on team effectiveness, organizational design, performance management, and career development.
  • Use data and insights to inform decisions and shape people programs.
  • Lead and deliver programs that boost engagement, performance, and retention across global teams.
  • Collaborate with Talent Acquisition, L&D, Legal, Finance, IT, and others to build seamless employee experiences.
  • Guide and resolve complex employee relations matters with empathy and rigor.
  • Be an active contributor to core people processes—succession planning, compensation cycles, feedback programs, and more.
  • Influence with credibility and confidence across all levels, from individual contributors to the C-suite.
  • Balance strategic foresight with willingness to dive into the details—no task too small or big.
  • In-office Commitment: Our office is where ideas spark, connections thrive, and innovation comes alive. We are looking for candidates who are enthusiastic and committed to joining our team on-site, in our beautiful headquarters four days a week. Together, we’re building something extraordinary—learn, grow, and thrive in our fast-paced, transformative environment.
  • Relocation offered: We’re proud to call Chicago home - a walkable downtown, amazing food, and a team that makes big ideas move fast. And we’re ready to help you make it yours, project44 offers relocation assistance for team members joining us from outside the area.

Requirements:

  • 7-10+ years of progressive HR experience, including direct HRBP support to senior leaders in SaaS or high-growth tech environments.
  • Tech-forward mindset—you’re excited by AI, data, automation, and finding smarter ways to work.
  • Exceptional emotional intelligence, strong instincts, and ability to read between the lines.
  • Resilience and grit—you stay calm, composed, and proactive under pressure.
  • Ability to build strong, trusted relationships at all levels of the organization.
  • Experience working independently and managing competing priorities with poise.
  • Agile mindset—able to pivot quickly and thrive in ambiguity.
  • Strong communication, influencing, and problem-solving skills.
  • Deep sense of discretion, professionalism, and integrity.
  • A team-first mentality with no ego, and a bias for action.

Diversity & Inclusion

We're designing the future of how the world moves and is connected through trade and global supply chains. We can only deliver a truly world-class product and experience if our teams are as diverse and unique communities we are building for. So, it's up to us to create a company where anyone can bring their authentic self to work every day. We're constantly working to improve, and we accept our responsibility to elevate the voices left in the margins. It is on every one of us.

Our focus on inclusion manifests in the way we hire, the customers we serve, and the regions we prioritize. We're building a company that every one of us at project44 is proud to work for: a company that celebrates you for being you.

We pride ourselves on celebrating everyone — project44 is an equal opportunity employer actively working on creating a diverse and inclusive work environment where underrepresented groups can thrive. If you share our values and our passion for helping the way the world moves, we’d love to review your application!
