What you'll do:

• Be the go-to People Partner for Operations leaders in your region - the person they call when something's tricky, not just when something's already broken
• Coach and sharpen station leaders and managers - through training, real feedback, recognition that means something, and just showing up when it counts
• Own employee and labor relations across your stations: run investigations, dig into root causes, and land on outcomes that are fair and consistent, working closely with Legal along the way
• Turn employee data, survey results, and what you're hearing on the ground into recommendations leaders can actually act on
• Partner across People and Operations on the bigger initiatives: onboarding, process fixes, and making sure People practices run the same way at every station
• Lead timely, thorough, and objective workplace investigations involving employee complaints, misconduct, policy violations, and other employee relations matters
• Coach and advise leaders on corrective action, conflict resolution, policy interpretation, and consistent employment practices
• Identify employee relations trends and partner with People leadership to develop proactive solutions that improve engagement, accountability, and the employee experience
• Maintain accurate case documentation and ensure all employee relations decisions comply with company policies and applicable employment laws

How you'll measure success:

• Fewer repeat employee relations issues, and faster, smarter resolution when they do come up
• Engagement and retention trending up across the airport teams you support
• Leaders and managers putting the training and programs you build to real use
• People processes running consistently at every station in your region

What you're great at:

• 5+ years of HR or People Business Partner experience, including real time supporting hourly or frontline teams and handling complex employee relations matters
• Earning trust with operational leaders quickly, and coaching them through hard calls with good judgment and empathy
• Reading data and what people are actually telling you, then turning both into action
• Juggling a lot at once without losing the thread, in an environment that shifts week to week
• Communicating clearly at every level - whether that's a one-on-one coaching conversation or a room full of station leaders
• Being on the ground: this is an in-operation role based out of our NY HQ, with anticipated travel of up to 30%
