The Evolving Role of HRBP in a Tech-Driven Workplace

The Evolving Role of HRBP in a Tech-Driven Workplace

Author: Vantage Circle January 28, 2026 Duration: 23:46

The more we look at how work is evolving, the more obvious it becomes that tech isn't just something HR uses anymore. It's basically shaping decisions, workflows, and even culture in real time. And HRBPs are kind of right at the crossroads of all of this. Their role has shifted from being mostly people-focused to this really interesting mix of strategy, data fluency, and emotional intelligence. 

For this episode, I'm joined by Jessie Lloyd Roberts, Head of Talent Development at Nextdoor. She's someone who is living that evolution up close and has a front-row view of how the HRBP role is being redefined from the inside.

Host of this Episode: Sanjeevani Saikia
