Overview

The HR Strategic Advisor is a high-impact role responsible for helping connect enterprise priorities, external dynamics, and executive leadership direction to the internal operating agenda of the HR function. Partnering closely with the CHRO and HR Leadership Team, this role serves as a strategic integrator across priorities that cut across the function - translating business context into clear focus areas, shaping leadership discussions, and ensuring critical initiatives are framed, advanced, and connected to the work happening inside HR. The role exists to create stronger linkage between what is happening around the business and what HR must do in response, bringing structure, pace, and clarity to high-priority work that requires executive attention and cross-functional coordination. This position operates across strategic planning, executive decision support, initiative framing, and leadership communications, helping senior leaders move from broad priorities to aligned action. Success in this role means stronger alignment between the CHRO agenda and HR execution, clearer decisions, better orchestration across stakeholders, and more consistent follow-through on the issues that matter most.
