Job description

Emerson is scaling fast in TX, and growth that fast either gets steered carefully or gets very expensive. Strip away the buzzwords and here's the deal — $225,000 - $340,000, temporary hours, and a business team at Emerson that actually hands you the keys.

Key Responsibilities

• Run the numbers on build-versus-buy before Emerson signs anything
• Author the playbook so the next VP of HR doesn't start from a blank page
• Turn an unfussy board mandate into work the business team can start Monday
• Stress-test the forecast against the TX scenario nobody wants
• Audit existing processes and recommend high-impact improvements

What You'll Bring

• Solid LMS Administration grounding, plus SHRM-CP you can pick up on the fly
• Hands-on familiarity with SHRM-CP, sharpened by Time Management side projects
• Demonstrated ability to teach what you know to someone greener
• Willingness to commute to Austin, TX or work flexibly as needed
• Hands-on command of Continuous Learning, with Workforce Planning as a close second

At Emerson, our mission is to make business simpler, faster, and more accessible for everyone in Austin, TX and beyond. Feedback flows in every direction at Emerson, from the newest hire to the people signing the $225,000 - $340,000 checks.
