This role is ideal for an HR leader who loves partnering with Operations, solving complex business challenges, and building high-performing teams in a fast-paced, growth-oriented organization. You'll serve as a trusted advisor to business leaders, helping translate business strategy into talent outcomes that drive organizational success. We are looking for a candidate based on the East Coast, preferably in Atlanta or Orlando.

• Ensure exceptional onboarding experiences through 30/60/90-day success planning.
• Improve early-tenure engagement and retention.

Leadership Development & Succession Planning

• Lead talent review and succession planning processes across the region.
• Build strong leadership pipelines and increase internal promotions.
• Support development planning for emerging leaders and high-potential employees.
• Partner with Learning & Development to deliver impactful leadership programs.

Performance & Employee Engagement

• Guide leaders through performance management, coaching, and accountability.
• Analyze engagement and retention data to identify opportunities for improvement.
• Lead retention initiatives, stay conversations, and targeted interventions for key talent.
• Support operational leaders in strengthening culture and employee experience.

Employee Relations & Compliance

• Manage complex employee relations matters and workplace investigations.
• Provide expert guidance on employment law, policy interpretation, and risk mitigation.
• Partner with leaders to resolve issues proactively while maintaining compliance with federal, state, and local employment laws.

Data-Driven Business Partnership

• Translate workforce metrics into actionable business insights.
• Participate in business and financial reviews to align talent strategies with organizational goals.
• Identify trends, recommend solutions, and drive continuous improvement across the region.
