The Role
We are looking for an exceptional People Partner (sometimes known externally as HR Business Partners) to join our growing People team. 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. We believe in allowing each team to maintain a lot of control over how best to scale, which gives you tremendous autonomy.

- 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
