Human Resources Leader

Stand Together is a philanthropic community that helps America’s boldest changemakers tackle the root causes of our country’s biggest problems, from education to the economy, broken communities, and toxic division, among dozens of other pressing issues. We provide our partners with access to resources including funding, thought leadership, a network of peers, and a playbook for applying proven principles to transform lives and society.

As a Human Resources Leader (HRL), you will serve as a key business partner to stakeholders, supervisors, and leaders across the organization who rely on your counsel. These partnerships, paired with your deep understanding of the skills, principles and values necessary for success, position you to foster a culture where all employees are growing their contributions and driving outcomes toward the organization’s strategic goals.

To be successful in this role, you will have a deep passion for empowering employees through principles rather than imposing rules, and you will have a track record of building strategic relationships to shape a winning talent position.

How You Will Contribute:
• Equip supervisors to strengthen their talent position and integrate business outcomes with actionable talent strategies through applying good judgment, strong economic thinking business acumen and talent best practices.
• Advise teams on building team structures, succession plans, retention strategies, capability building, training opportunities, and leadership development.
• Leverage Principle Based Management™ (PBM) principles, frameworks and tools to solve increasingly complex problems and build capability in supervisors to do the same.
• Work with partner capabilities (Talent Operations, Employee Relations Center of Excellence, Scaled Education, Talent Acquisition) to drive operational excellence and reduce risk across the employee life cycle.
• Build and share a solid point of view on the talent position that is rooted in knowledge, skills and contribution to the culture of the organization.
• Ensure team members are meaningfully connected to the vision and strategy of their business in partnership with supervisors and leaders.
• Provide clear and substantive feedback and coaching to team members.
• Work on-site at our office in Arlington, VA and travel occasionally as needed (up to 10%).

What You Will Bring:
• 5+ years of experience in a role focused on talent development and applying HR best practices and compliance standards.
• High degree of business acumen and a deep interest in learning and applying organizational and management frameworks, in our case PBM, to business challenges.
• Ability to build credible partnerships at all levels of the organization and provide effective feedback and coaching that drives accountability and prompts action.
• Proven experience creating operating models, organizational design, and talent strategies.
• An ability to synthesize talent data and provide recommendations or prompt moments of insight.
• Enthusiasm to contribute to our vision and principled approach to solving problems, and a commitment to stewarding our culture, which champions values including transformation and innovation, entrepreneurialism, humility, and respect.

Standout Candidates May bring:
• Experience working in a highly-matrixed organization or collaborating regularly with multiple internal stakeholders.

What We Offer:
• Competitive benefits: Enjoy a 6% 401(k) match with immediate vesting, flexible time off, comprehensive health and dental plans, plus wellness and mental health support through Peloton and Talkspace.
• A meaningful career: Join a passionate community of over 1,300 employees dedicated to improving lives and driving innovative solutions to complex social challenges.
• Commitment to growth: Thrive in a non-hierarchical environment that empowers employees to discover, develop and apply their unique talents.

Our Values: Working at Stand Together is different from many other organizations. Our culture is deeply rooted in Principle Based Management® (PBM®), a framework guided by the principles that drive human progress, such as dignity, openness, and bottom-up empowerment. PBM® empowers our employees to be entrepreneurial, to innovate, and to continually drive transformation.

We believe diversity fuels creativity, broadens knowledge, and helps drive success, and that is why we’re proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer and strive to treat all employees and applicants with honesty, dignity, respect and sensitivity.
