• Professional certification (SPHR or SHRM-SCP) strongly preferred.
• Demonstrated ability to use HR data and analytics to drive business outcomes.
• Strong communication, facilitation, and relationship-building skills.
• Must have a reliable vehicle and be comfortable traveling frequently within Virginia (mileage reimbursed).
