  • Demonstrated success establishing credibility with leaders and aligning HR solutions with business needs.
  • Strong business acumen, judgment, analytical thinking, and results orientation.
  • The ability to navigate complex situations, build consensus, and make sound decisions.
  • Strong coaching, interpersonal, negotiation, facilitation, presentation, and communication skills.

Previous HR management-level experience and professional HR designation, such as SHRM CP, SHRM SCP, HRCI PHR, or HRCI SPHR, are preferred.

Why This Role Matters?

This is an opportunity to serve as an employee champion, trusted leadership advisor, and change agent. You will support a substantial employee population and help leaders make thoughtful decisions that influence performance, culture, and the employee experience.

If you are energized by complex challenges, meaningful partnerships, and the opportunity to connect people strategy with business results, we invite you to apply.
