• Influence and support transformation and change management: You’ll be a driving force behind major change initiatives, helping leaders and teams adapt and thrive through periods of transformation within the business.
• Assist with research and groundwork for projects: Whether it’s market studies or evaluating best practices, you’ll dig deep into the data to provide insights that shape the People Team’s strategic decisions.
• Collaborate with the People Operations team: From onboarding to benefits management, you’ll work alongside the People Ops team to ensure all operational needs are met, providing a seamless experience for employees from day one.
• Partner with the broader People Team to execute employee engagement programs: You'll help launch and sustain initiatives that keep our workforce engaged, motivated, and connected, contributing to a vibrant and inclusive company culture.
• Strive for continuous improvement: You’ll always be looking for ways to improve, suggesting updates to programs and processes that will better support our teams and enhance the overall employee experience.

Here's What You Need:

• HRBP Experience: 4-7 years of partnering with globally distributed teams and leaders to drive HR initiatives.
• Analytical & Tactical Mindset: Ability to leverage data for informed decision-making and process optimization, while being tactical in implementing HR strategies for continuous improvement.
