• Use data and insights to inform decisions and influence at the executive level
• Bring an innovative, forward-thinking mindset to how HR operates and delivers value

Why This Role

• Make an impact at enterprise scale in a mission-driven industry that improves lives
• Help a global organization lead, not follow, in AI and the future of work
• Work alongside leaders who value strategic HR as a true business partner

• Demonstrated comfort with AI and emerging technology, with experience helping teams adopt new tools and ways of working
• Strong executive presence and the ability to influence, challenge, and build trust at the senior leadership level
• Ability to work in Southern California (San Diego, Orange County, or Los Angeles)

Preferred Qualifications 

• Medical device, life sciences, or other highly regulated industry experience
• Experience in a global or matrixed organization
• Advanced degree (MBA, MS in HR or Organizational Development) or HR certification (SHRM-SCP, SPHR)
