• Advance talent management, succession planning, leadership development, performance, and workforce planning across the enterprise.
• Lead a competitive and sustainable total rewards strategy, leveraging compensation and benefits to drive performance, engagement, retention, and desired behaviors.

• Develop proactive workforce and retention strategies that anticipate the changing talent needs of the organization.
• Support M&A due diligence and integration when needed, including organizational design, policies, compensation and benefits, communications, and team member onboarding.

What You'll Bring

• Bachelor's degree in Human Resources, Business, Organizational Development, or a related discipline.
• Master's degree in HR/OD or MBA preferred.
• 12+ years of progressive Human Resources leadership experience, including significant leadership across multiple HR disciplines.
• Demonstrated success developing and executing enterprise HR and workforce strategies in complex, fast-paced organizations.
• Broad HR leadership experience spanning areas such as talent management, organizational development, change management, total rewards, HRIS, workforce planning, leadership development, and performance.
• Experience leveraging HR technology, analytics, and workforce data to improve business performance.
• Healthcare, senior living, hospitality, or another complex, distributed, service-oriented operating environment is highly valued.
• Ability and willingness to travel as business needs require.
