• Drive performance management processes, goal setting, and employee growth opportunities.
• Support employee engagement, retention, recognition, and culture-building initiatives.
• Conduct employee feedback, stay interviews, and exit interviews to identify opportunities for continuous improvement.
• Partner with outside HR resources and legal counsel to support compliance and employment best practices.

Qualifications

• 10+ years of experience in leadership development, organizational development, talent management, recruiting, human resources, or related areas.
• Demonstrated experience building, leading, or significantly enhancing a people function within a growing organization.
• Proven success developing employees and leaders while driving measurable organizational results.
• Full-cycle recruiting experience, including leadership-level hiring.
• Strong business acumen and the ability to align people strategies with organizational priorities.
• Excellent communication, relationship-building, and coaching skills.
• Ability to independently drive initiatives, exercise sound judgment, and influence across all levels of an organization.

• Familiarity with Topgrading, EOS, Scaling Up, Metronomics, or similar business operating systems.
• Knowledge of Hawai?i employment laws and workplace practices.
