HR Business Partner - Operations

Blue Origin's Operations organization builds the systems that power our mission to build a road to space. As manufacturing and production capabilities expand across multiple sites, the workforce strategy supporting those teams must scale with equal rigor.

We are seeking a HR Business Partner to operate as a strategic advisor and operational partner to senior leaders within our Operations organization. This role sits at the intersection of business strategy, workforce architecture, and organizational performance, ensuring the organization has the leadership capability, workforce structure, and talent strategy required to execute at scale.

Unlike traditional HR roles focused on tactical employee support, this position operates primarily at the organizational and leadership level, partnering with senior operational leaders to solve complex business challenges related to workforce strategy, organizational design, leadership effectiveness, and operational performance.

This role requires someone who brings both strategic perspective and operational execution-a working leader who can translate business priorities into actionable workforce solutions while influencing across multiple partner teams.

Role Overview:

As a Senior HR Business Partner supporting Operations, you will work alongside leaders responsible for manufacturing, supply chain, production, and engineering teams that are scaling rapidly to meet mission demand. You will play a central role in shaping how the organization grows-helping leaders navigate organizational change, workforce scaling, leadership capability development, and operational workforce strategy across a mixed population of hourly technicians, engineers, and operational leaders. This is a high-impact individual contributor role with broad influence across the business and HR ecosystem. The successful candidate will bring deep experience supporting operational environments and will be comfortable operating in fast-paced conditions where both speed and sound judgment are required. This role is best suited for someone who is energized by solving complex organizational challenges, partnering closely with leaders, and building practical workforce solutions that enable operational performance.

Key Responsibilities:

• Serve as a trusted advisor to senior operations leaders, helping shape decisions related to workforce strategy, organizational effectiveness, and leadership capability.

• Lead complex organizational design and workforce transformation efforts, including structural changes, capability development, and scaling of operational teams.
• Partner with leaders to develop workforce strategies aligned to operational demand, including workforce mix, shift structures, capacity planning, and talent pipelines.
• Provide leadership guidance on organizational health, performance management, and team effectiveness, helping leaders build high-accountability, high-performing organizations.
• Use workforce data and analytics to identify trends, diagnose organizational challenges, and guide strategic talent decisions.
• Influence cross-functional partners-including Talent Acquisition, Compensation, Talent Management, and Employee Relations-to deliver integrated workforce solutions aligned to operational priorities.
• Serve as a connector across HR partner teams, ensuring alignment and consistency in workforce programs impacting operations.
• Navigate complex employee relations matters with a balanced approach that reinforces fairness, accountability, and operational standards.
• Drive leadership alignment and execution during periods of organizational change, business growth, and operational transformation.
