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.
