Ideal background:

• 6–8+ years of progressive HR experience
• Strong HRBP and employee relations expertise
• Experience advising managers and conducting workplace investigations
• Professional services or similarly complex organizational experience preferred
• Strong knowledge of employment practices and compliance
• Workday experience is highly valued

Compensation: $125K–$172K base
