• Experience partnering with leaders and employees across multiple HR disciplines, including employee relations, talent management, and organizational development.
• Strong understanding of employment practices and HR programs within a manufacturing, operations, or industrial environment.
• Analytical mindset with the ability to turn workforce data into actionable business recommendations.
