A senior HR professional who works closely with business leaders to align HR strategy.

Full Definition

An HR Business Partner (HRBP) is a senior HR professional who works directly with business unit leaders to align HR strategy with business objectives. Unlike traditional HR generalists who focus on administrative tasks, HRBPs act as strategic advisors — providing insights on organizational design, talent management, workforce planning, and change management. The HRBP model, popularized by Dave Ulrich, has become the standard operating model for HR in medium and large organizations.
