Associate HR Business Partner

Block is one company built from many blocks, all united by the same purpose of economic empowerment. The blocks that form our foundational teams — People, Finance, Counsel, Hardware, Information Security, Platform Infrastructure Engineering, and more — provide support and guidance at the corporate level.

We’re looking for Associate HR Business Partners (AHRBPs) to join our global HRBP team. Aligned centrally under our HRBP Enablement team, AHRBPs are embedded within global functions and work alongside HRBPs to operationalize and deliver impactful people programs.

You’ll gain exposure to high-impact work across the globe, develop technical and strategic skills, and grow through hands-on experience with the support of HRBP mentors and the broader Enablement team. This is a client-facing role where you’ll partner directly with employees and managers to provide coaching and guidance, answer questions, facilitate training, and drive day-to-day HR execution within your client group.

The ideal candidate is curious, proactive, and energized by building. You take ownership of your work, thrive in a fast-paced environment, and are eager to learn how HR can influence business outcomes.

Responsibilities

• Provide guidance and support directly to employees and managers, coaching them on people-related matters and influencing effective decision-making to drive team performance, engagement, and alignment with HR best practices.
• Escalate complex or sensitive issues appropriately, ensuring timely resolution and alignment with internal processes and partners.
• Collaborate closely with HRBPs and COEs to deliver key people programs and projects, including org design, talent reviews, team effectiveness, and policy design.
• Drive end-to-end performance management, in close partnership with your client group(s) in all markets, supporting Block People’s mission to foster and sustain a high-performance culture.
• Drive or support execution of cyclical programs such as compensation planning, promotion processes and audits, talent reviews, performance evaluations, and employee experience surveys (Pulse).
• Analyze people data and trends to support reporting, insights, and strategic decision-making within your client group.
• Build strong cross-functional relationships across the People team—including with People Operations, Compensation, Talent, People Analytics, and other COEs—to coordinate and deliver seamless experiences.
• Proactively identify opportunities to improve HR processes and tools, in partnership with HR Enablement, contributing to a more scalable and efficient operating model.
• Maintain compliance and data accuracy through regular audits and other administrative responsibilities.
• Apply a global perspective when partnering with client groups and cross-functional stakeholders across international markets—ensuring alignment with local employment laws, cultural norms, market-specific practices, and coordination with the appropriate local stakeholders and COE partners.
