Overview:

As a People Business Partner (PBP), you’ll work closely with business leaders to implement HR strategies that support high performance, engagement, and growth.

• Partner with business leaders to assess organizational needs and translate them into actionable people strategies

• Support workforce planning, org design, and team structure decisions that enable growth and effectiveness

• Coach managers on performance management, feedback, and development conversations

• Guide employee relations matters in collaboration with the Director of ER & Compliance to ensure fair, timely resolutions

• Help deliver core HR programs like engagement surveys, compensation reviews, performance cycles, and talent planning

• Use people data and engagement insights to identify trends, improve retention, and drive a strong team culture

• Support recruiting efforts by aligning roles to business needs and partnering on hiring and onboarding

• Communicate HR policies, programs, and changes clearly and consistently across teams

• Champion inclusion and engagement by supporting DEIB efforts and fostering a values-driven culture

We’re looking for someone who has:

• Bachelor’s degree preferred, with 5–7 years of experience as a People Business Partner

• Strong working knowledge of core HR functions, including employee relations, recruiting, performance management, and engagement

• Familiarity with U.S. employment law and HR compliance practices; California knowledge is a plus

• Service Center or Customer Facing team experience preferred

• Ability to solve problems of basic complexity; resourceful and takes initiative to seek internal and external resources and support when problem-solving
