Diamond Foundry is seeking a People Partner to support our Bay Area Diamond Foundry locations and our direct-to-consumer brand, VRAI.
The ideal candidate has supported both a shift-based and a corporate or customer-facing population and is comfortable moving between a production floor and a showroom in the same week. They are hands-on, practical, and credible with frontline managers. This is a role with room to grow, working closely with the VP of Human Resources on more complex matters.
Responsibilities- Partner with managers across diverse teams on daily people matters-including performance, attendance, and team dynamics-coaching them to conduct difficult conversations, resolve issues consistently, and document properly rather than handling matters on their behalf.
- Support employee relations by conducting independent investigations and collaborating closely with the VP of HR on complex or sensitive matters.
- Support multi-state accommodation and return-to-work processes in coordination with People Operations.
- Drive compensation and leveling initiatives, including new hire offers, promotions, and the annual merit cycle.
- Tailor and translate company-wide programs to effectively suit both shift-based manufacturing and retail environments, accounting for how different populations experience shared policies.
Qualifications- Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience with 4+ years in an HR or People Partner capacity, featuring hands-on employee relations experience (HR certification is a plus).
- Proven experience supporting both a non-exempt, shift-based workforce and a corporate or customer-facing population.
- Working knowledge of California employment law-particularly regarding leave, accommodation, and wage-and-hour requirements-with multi-state exposure preferred.
- Demonstrated track record of coaching managers, applying consistent standards across varying team cultures, and exercising sound judgment on when to act independently versus when to escalate.
- Experience navigating and building out processes within an evolving, high-growth environment (desirable).
$110,000 - $145,000 a year
