Job description

This role carries full people coverage for assigned groups, coaching leaders from new managers up to executives on org design, performance and talent decisions. It also owns employee relations cases from intake to close, plus programs like promotions, pulse reporting and engagement planning. A strong candidate brings several years of broad HR experience, comfort advising senior leaders, solid judgment on employment law risk, and the ability to handle change and multiple countries at once.

How it fits the AI era

AI shifts the routine parts of people work, such as answering common questions, toward self service tools, leaving the partner to handle matters that need human judgment. The role also asks the person to spot where those tools fall short and help improve them. Coaching, investigations and sensitive conversations stay human, while data on attrition and engagement supports decisions.

How it builds AI experience

Working here means using AI daily in people work and helping sharpen the tools the company builds for legal and compliance customers. A candidate can build this by practicing with HR AI tools, learning to route routine requests to self service, and noting where automation needs a human check. Familiarity with HRIS and performance platforms helps connect that experience to the team's work.

Worth showing

• Leader coaching at all levels
• Employee relations case handling
• Org design and restructures
• Hands on AI tool use
