About Docker

Docker has been one of the most loved brands in developer tooling, trusted by more than 20 million monthly users and over 20 billion container image pulls. From solo founders to the world's largest companies, developers rely on Docker to build, share, and run their applications across our suite of products including Docker Desktop, Docker Hub, and Docker Scout. We are a globally distributed, remote-first team building the tools that define how software gets built and delivered. As AI agents redefine software development, Docker is at the center of that shift, providing the sandboxed environments, verified images, and secure infrastructure that make autonomous workflows trustworthy by default. _______________________________________________________________________ As a Senior People Partner supporting Revenue at Docker, you will partner closely with leaders, managers, and employees across our go-to-market organization to connect business priorities to people strategy. This is an experienced individual contributor role for someone who brings strong HR judgment, clear communication, business acumen, and steadiness in complex or high-pressure situations. Revenue is a fast-moving, high-accountability environment, so this person must be able to build trust, influence quickly, and communicate with clarity.

Responsibilities:

Partner with Revenue leaders and managers on people priorities, including organizational design, workforce planning, leadership effectiveness, talent planning, engagement, performance, and team health. Provide clear guidance and practical recommendations on complex employee matters, balancing employee experience, business needs, risk, and consistency. Build trusted relationships across Revenue and within the People Team. Influence through credibility, direct communication, and strong partnership. Raise concerns, ask hard questions, and push for better decisions when something may pose a risk, create inconsistency, or have an unintended impact. Stay steady in difficult conversations and bring calm, structure, and sound judgment to situations involving urgency, emotion, competing priorities, or strong opinions. Lead and support core people processes within Revenue, including performance management, talent reviews, compensation cycles, promotions, employee development, engagement planning, and organizational changes. Use data, insights, and business context to identify trends, surface risks, and recommend actions that improve team effectiveness, retention, engagement, and performance. Partner across People, Talent Acquisition, Legal, Finance, People Ops, Total Rewards, and other cross-functional teams to ensure strong alignment and execution for Revenue priorities. Support global and distributed teams by helping leaders understand regional considerations, cultural norms, and employee experience across different locations. Contribute to People Team programs and practices by sharing feedback from Revenue, identifying opportunities to improve how we work, and helping build scalable approaches as grows.
