ABOUT THE ROLE

Are you a people-first HR professional who thrives on building trust, solving tough problems, and helping organizations run at their best? We9re looking for a Senior HR Business Partner to join our close-knit Human Resources team as a trusted, hands-on partner to our Vice President of Human Resources.

In this role, you9ll work with us onsite to own the day-to-day work of employee relations, policy and handbook administration, and professional development across the Wesley companies. The ideal candidate is a confident, level-headed problem-solver who navigates sensitive employee matters with empathy and discretion - and who genuinely enjoys bringing structure, consistency, and heart to the processes that keep our teams thriving.

WHAT YOU9LL DO

Employee Relations
  • Be a go-to resource for employee relations matters - fielding questions, addressing concerns, resolving conflicts, and handling complaints with care and professionalism.
  • Conduct and document thorough workplace investigations with fairness, consistency, and discretion, partnering with the VP of Human Resources and General Counsel as needed.
  • Advise and coach managers on performance concerns, disciplinary actions, and corrective action plans - helping leaders grow alongside their teams.
  • Support performance management processes, including reviews, development conversations, and documentation.
  • Foster a positive, fair, and compliant workplace culture that reflects Wesley9s values across every team and location.

Professional Development & Talent Growth
  • Play an active role in developing others - partnering with managers to assess skill gaps, build on strengths, and create meaningful opportunities for learning, stretch assignments, and advancement.
  • Help assess training needs and source, coordinate, or facilitate development programs, from onboarding and new-manager training to skills-based and leadership development.
  • Champion a culture of continuous learning across the Wesley companies, inspiring managers to invest in the growth of their teams.
  • Provide leadership to ensure the ongoing success of Wesley9s Pillars Program (our L&D framework).

Policy & Handbook Administration
  • Own the maintenance and regular update of the employee handbook across the Wesley companies - keeping it clear, current, and compliant.
  • Develop, implement, and maintain HR policies and procedures that support legal compliance and operational consistency.
  • Stay ahead of federal, state, and local employment law changes - including multi-state considerations across Tennessee and Nevada - and update policies and practices accordingly.
  • Communicate policy changes clearly to employees and managers, and provide related guidance and training so nothing gets lost in translation.

HR Operations & Culture
  • Manage the shared HR inbox with timely, professional responses, creating and maintaining templates that make the team more efficient.
  • Champion and help strengthen Wesley9s company culture, partnering with leadership to support employee engagement, recognition, and a positive, values-driven work environment.
  • Help plan and coordinate company-wide events and engagement activities - like monthly celebrations and employee appreciation - that connect both remote and in-office team members.
  • Serve as backup for benefits administration, supporting enrollments, changes, and terminations across medical, dental, vision, 401(k), and other plans.
  • Take on additional related projects and duties as they come up - because in a collaborative HR team, we all pitch in.

WHAT YOU BRING
  • Strong knowledge of employee relations practices and workplace investigation techniques.
  • Solid command of federal and state employment law, including FMLA, ADA, FLSA, and Title VII; multi-state experience (TN/NV) is a plus.
  • Working knowledge of HRIS data management.
  • Exceptional verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to handle sensitive conversations with empathy and professionalism.
  • Sound judgment, discretion, and an unwavering commitment to confidentiality.
  • Strong interpersonal and coaching skills, with the ability to build trust with employees and managers at all levels.
  • Excellent organizational skills, attention to detail, and the ability to juggle competing priorities without missing a beat.
  • Proficiency in ADP Workforce Now (or a similar HRIS) and Microsoft Office Suite and/or Google Workspace.
  • The ability to work both independently and collaboratively within a close-knit HR team - and to enjoy doing both.

EDUCATION & EXPERIENCE
  • Bachelor9s degree in Human Resources, Business Administration, or a related field preferred.
  • 7+ years of progressive human resources experience required, with demonstrated depth in employee relations and professional development.
  • Current HR certification preferred: PHR, SPHR, SHRM-CP, or SHRM-SCP.
  • Experience with ADP Workforce Now or a comparable HRIS required.
