• Advise leaders on organizational design, including structure, roles, and reporting relationships, and guide teams through change.
• Serve as a day-to-day employee relations resource for managers and employees, including coaching, conflict resolution, corrective action, and investigations as assigned, in partnership with the HR Manager.
• Use HR data to spot trends, measure the impact of our people programs, and make clear recommendations to leadership.

What you'll bring

• Bachelor's degree in human resources, business, organizational psychology, or a related field
• 5+ years of progressive HR experience, including 2+ years in a business partner or consultative HR role supporting leaders
• Hands-on employee relations experience and a working knowledge of federal, state, and local employment law
• Experience designing and running engagement surveys and performance management processes
• Experience with workforce planning and organizational design (a plus for earlier-career candidates)
• Strong business sense and the ability to build trust and influence leaders through a consultative approach
• Excellent written and verbal communication, with the discretion to handle sensitive matters
• Comfort working with data and presenting insights clearly
• SHRM-CP/SCP or PHR/SPHR certification preferred
• Experience supporting sales, marketing, or financial services teams is a plus

What we offer

• Compensation: $115,000 - $160,000 plus bonus
