You will partner effectively with the Leaders and HR partners to provide your best advice and counsel on how to resolve issues and concerns in a way that meets the needs of the individual and the organization, balancing risk and enterprise priorities. You will utilize HR Data to inform decision-making and recommend actions on Employee Experience opportunities.
  • HR Strategy Execution: In your role, it is critical to understand HR's People and Culture strategy and are working with Leaders to determine people and organization implications for their teams. You will be an active force in shaping how to apply HR strategy and in determining local initiatives to ensure they are executed within the teams you support.
  • Talent Management: You will work with the leadership team to acquire and assess talent. You will recommend ways to develop people driving performance in current or future roles. This will include informal 1:1 dialogues to create development plans as well as managing HR's performance, talent development, and succession cycles.
