• Comfortable using people data and insights to identify trends, inform decisions, and recommend action.
• Trusted to handle sensitive and complex employee matters with sound judgment, discretion, and a compliance-minded, risk-aware approach aligned with the firm’s culture, values, and DE&I commitments.
• Professional services, consulting, or similarly fast-paced, client-driven experience (ideally within a global environment) preferred.

What You’ll Do:

• Deliver people programs and initiatives with a client-service mindset, supporting a global workforce and ensuring firm practices are applied consistently and appropriately across geographies.
• Lead and support the execution of core HR programs, including organization design, performance management, talent reviews, promotion assessments, development planning, retention, employee relations, compliance, and change initiatives.
• Partner with business leaders on workforce, capability, and succession planning to anticipate future talent needs and strengthen leadership pipelines.
• Lead and advise business leaders through complex employee relations matters and workplace investigations, including performance concerns, leaves and accommodations, and involuntary exits with sound judgment, thorough documentation, discretion, and a balanced approach to employee experience, business needs, and risk mitigation.
• Use people data, engagement insights, and business metrics to identify trends, assess risk, and recommend practical actions related to performance, retention, staffing, and organizational health.
• Partner with leaders to build management capability through coaching, tools, and training on feedback, performance, career development, inclusive leadership, and effective people practices.
• Collaborate closely with Talent Acquisition, Compensation, Learning & Development, Resource Management, and other functional partners to deliver integrated talent solutions aligned with business and client needs.
• Advise leaders on compensation, recognition, and reward decisions in partnership with the Compensation team, ensuring alignment with performance, market practices, and internal equity.
• Support organizational growth, transformation, and integration efforts, helping leaders communicate change clearly and maintain a strong, consistent employee experience.
• Complete and maintain HR transactions, reporting, and workflows in Workday and other HR systems, ensuring data accuracy, timely execution, and a positive employee and leader experience.
