About Opendoor At Opendoor our mission is to tilt the world in favor of homeowners and those who aim to become one. Homeownership matters. It's how people build wealth, stability, and community. It's how families put down roots, how neighborhoods strengthen, how the future gets built. We're building the modern system of homeownership giving people the freedom to buy and sell on their own terms. We’ve built an end-to-end online experience that has already helped thousands of people and we’re just getting started. About The Role At Opendoor we're tilting the world in favor of homeowners. We ship every week, test in the open, and judge our work by one thing: whether homeowners end up better off. We're hiring a Director-level People Business Partner to operate as a business leader on the company's most critical teams — using AI and data to drive execution, insight, and speed. This role exists to raise the bar, increase talent density, and make the org stronger every week — so leaders execute faster and better. This is not a traditional HR role.

This role is based at our Toronto office (468 King St W), 4 days a week. Relocation assistance is available for candidates moving to Toronto.
