• Application Information:
• Application deadline: applications accepted on an ongoing basis until position is closed and filled
• This posting is for a new position
• Reporting to the Senior Manager, People Business Partner - EPD

As a People Generalist, EPD you’ll … 

• Serve as the first line of support for EPD managers and employees - fielding day-to-day HR questions and coaching managers on in-the-moment issues, resolving independently before escalating
• Participate in employee lifecycle events (onboarding, transfers, resignations, offboarding) and help administer related programs such as engagement surveys; understand our leave-of-absence process well enough to guide employees to Benefits and our third-party leave administrator
• Support investigations and performance documentation - maintaining accuracy, consistency, and confidentiality, with the process rigor to keep operational work reliable and repeatable
• Run and communicate business programs end-to-end, including performance review cycles (mid-year and annual), compensation update processes, and L&D initiatives - partnering with cross-functional People Team members (Talent Acquisition, Total Rewards, L&D, People Ops) to keep them globally consistent
• Navigate a matrixed EPD structure - managing multiple stakeholder relationships (managers, directors, cross-functional People Team partners) simultaneously amid shifting priorities
• Use AI tools and automation to streamline lifecycle administration, program execution, and recurring reporting - reducing manual, repeatable work over time
• Partner closely with your manager to ensure context flows both ways - proactively surfacing patterns and signal from your caseload, and staying looped in on broader organizational context that shapes your work

About you:

Requirements:

• 3-5+ years of HR generalist or HR business partner-adjacent experience, ideally supporting technical or product teams
• Strong process discipline - you're the person who makes sure things don't drop
• Experience fielding a high volume of manager and employee questions with independent judgment

You’ll thrive as a People Generalist, EPD if you:

• Default to solving before escalating - you search, you ask the tools, you form a recommendation, then you loop in your manager if you're still stuck
• Like variety and pace over depth in one lane - this role touches lifecycle, programs, and coaching in the same week
• Get genuine satisfaction from operational excellence and flawless execution
• Are comfortable being the “how do we get this done” person 
• Are fluent with AI tools - you use them to self-serve answers and automate repetitive process work rather than defaulting to manual execution 
• Look for opportunities to automate or systematize recurring tasks (reporting, tracking, communications) rather than reinventing the wheel each cycle
• Are comfortable operating in a highly matrixed, fast-changing organization - where priorities shift, stakeholders are numerous, and lines of ownership aren't always clean
• Can build effective working relationships across multiple People Team functions (Talent Acquisition, Total Rewards, L&D, People Ops) and EPD stakeholders without needing a single, static reporting structure to feel grounded
• See your manager as a thought partner, not just an escalation point - you bring them signal and patterns from your day-to-day work, and you actively seek out the broader context they hold so your execution stays aligned with what's happening at the leadership level
• Stay curious and open to growth — demonstrating a proactive embrace of AI, and actively building and applying fluency in emerging technologies to elevate how we work, drive faster outcomes, and expand collective impact.

Our Core Behaviors:

• Build lasting customer trust. We build trust by taking action that puts customer trust first.
• Win together. We play to win, and we win as one team. Success at Webflow isn't a solo act.
• Reinvent ourselves. We don't just improve what exists, we imagine what's possible.
• Own it all the way. We move fast because the moment demands it, and we hold ourselves accountable to deliver outcomes — for each other, and for customers.

Benefits

• Ownership in what you help build. Every permanent Webflower receives equity (RSUs) in our growing, privately held company.
• Health coverage that actually covers you. Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision plans for full-time employees and their dependents, with Webflow covering most premiums.
• Support for every stage of family life. 12 weeks of paid parental leave for all parents and 6+ weeks of additional paid leave for birthing parents. Plus inclusive care for family planning, menopause, and midlife transitions.
• Time off that’s actually off. Flexible vacation, paid holidays, and a sabbatical program to help you recharge and come back inspired.
• Wellness for the whole you. Access to mental health resources, therapy and coaching.
• Invest in your future. A 401(k) with 100% employer match (up to $6,000/year) in the U.S., and support for retirement savings globally. 
• Monthly stipends that flex with your life. Localized support for work and wellness expenses — from Wi-Fi to workouts.
• Bonus for building together. All full-time, permanent, non-commission employees are eligible for our annual WIN bonus program.
