Ensure compliance with all federal, state, and local employment laws and regulations.
Develop and deliver engaging training programs for managers and staff on topics such as performance management, soft skills, coaching, and policy adherence.

High integrity with demonstrated ability to manage confidential information with professionalism and discretion.
Excellent communication skills—both verbal and written—with the ability to influence and build trust at all levels of the organization.
Strong organizational and multitasking skills with attention to detail.
Tech‑savvy and proficient in Microsoft Office Suite; experience with HR systems preferred.
A collaborative, people‑focused mindset with a service‑oriented approach to supporting leaders and teams.

Minimum of 10 years of progressive HR experience, including at least 3–5 years specifically as an HR Business Partner supporting leadership and driving strategic initiatives.
Proven experience managing employee relations, implementing HR programs, and working cross‑functionally in a multi‑site or matrixed environment.
