• Coach managers on performance management, feedback, employee development and career pathing
• Be a resource for individual contributors across partner teams, successfully influencing others by providing direction, knowledge, and support to create a high-performing organization
• Develop strong trusted relationships and credibility across all levels of business line management
• Partner with the People Ops team to optimize and advise on performance management, hiring, organizational design, compensation and internal processes
