• Experience supporting corporate functions (Finance, Legal, Ops, Business Development) or professional services
• Strong foundation in performance management, talent planning, ER, and compensation support
• Able to build credibility quickly with operationally focused leaders skeptical of HR's value
• Comfortable operating independently day-to-day while partnering with Manager, PBP on complex decisions
• Proven ability to manage ambiguity and competing priorities across multiple small teams
• Bachelor's degree required; SHRM-CP/SCP or PHR/SPHR preferred
