To be successful in this role, you will help senior PXT leaders look around corners with data-driven recommendations for innovative programs as well as iterate on current programs to improve performance, retention and the employee experience.

This includes partnering with business leaders to shape the talent, workforce, and total rewards strategies as well as operational processes and systems needed to support unique business models and build an environment where employees can develop, contribute and thrive.

A day in the life
This role isn't your typical HRBP role. The ideal candidate will need to balance diving into the weeds, with stepping out to provide strategic thought leadership and guidance. This will span from the traditional talent routines and mechanisms, inspecting escalation outcomes to ensure high judgement guided decisions and we are getting to the right result, and helping to build the pieces of the puzzle that are the vision for the future of ATA PXT. This role is one where you will need to be comfortable dealing with a lot of ambiguity, while building structured mechanisms and processes to drive towards successful and equitable outcomes. You will guide HR professionals on how to elevate the performance and talent of their own teams.
