• Serve as a liaison for managers to kick off recruitment efforts and ensure adherence to external branding and process best practices.

• Provide guidance on performance management, employee relations, and talent development to ensure fair, consistent, and effective practices, as well as positively impact teams and the company more broadly.

• Continuously analyze and recommend solutions on People Team processes. In particular, proactively identify issues and solutions to continuously improve People infrastructure, policies, and processes.

• Work closely with managers and employees to improve work relationships, build morale, and increase productivity and retention, embracing corporate values and culture to support continued growth and success.

• Maintain People records and required compliance documentation.

• Cross-functionally collaborate with teams and executives to plan, implement and execute successful on-site(s).

• Oversee all learning and development programming (including Mento and LinkedIn Learning, among others).

What We Are Looking For:

• At least 5 years of directly applicable experience in Human Resources as a business partner, consultant or generalist.

• Proficient in using HRIS systems (e.g., Dayforce, Greenhouse, Culture Amp) for identifying process improvements and efficiencies, data management, and generating detailed reports and analytics.

• Ideally, experience working in a high volume, fast-paced start-up or large organization environment.

• Resilience, flexibility and the ability to work quickly and effectively cross-functionally.

• Resourceful and curious to solve problems that you have not encountered before - a strong, fast, and adaptable learner.

• Excellent judgment and superior emotional intelligence.

• Exceptional communication skills (written and verbal).

• Proven track record of working with, coaching, and influencing senior leaders.

• Prior experience managing the planning, development, implementation, and administration of People Team Programs.
