People Partners will support an individual business group and be responsible for helping them scale all things “people” -- everything from employee questions to driving strategic programs on behalf of the executive team.

- Analyze data across a variety of sources to identify trends, patterns, and areas of opportunity
- Advise managers on complex HR matters, including sensitive employee relations issues
- Strengthen the leadership of the organization by coaching managers to effectively performance manage and increase employee engagement with ongoing feedback and effective communication
- Drive cross-company programs to benefit our entire employee base
Requirements:
- BA/BS degree. MBA or Master's degree is a plus.
- 8+ years experience -- HR/People Business Partner experience; or Head of People at a startup; or leadership development; or adjacent role
- Excellent interpersonal and stakeholder management skills with the ability to build relationships at all levels of the organization
- Strong business acumen with the ability to understand and align People initiatives with business objectives, translating strategy into plans for execution
- Data-driven decision maker & strong problem solver who can find root causes of issues and gain leadership support to address them
