Your core job is to solve complex organizational challenges through people-related solutions. You have built and scaled a people operations department, overseen employee development, and implemented human resources procedures company-wide. The ideal candidate will have strong entrepreneurial abilities combined with a solid HR generalist background and a command of organizational development concepts, frameworks & tools.

If you have been responsible for implementing an HRIS system, building and encouraging a culture of feedback and engagement, and managing everything to do with the employee performance, this job is for you!

• Understand every aspect of the business and be a thought leader on people and organizational topics.
• Partner with leaders and managers to identify broad, chronic organizational challenges or opportunities.
• Demonstrate analytical capabilities and provide insightful data to guide decision making and provide proactive solutions.

• A Bachelor’s degree or Certificate in Human Resources Management (CHRP/SHRM designation a plus)
• Have a proven track record of strong employee relationship management, change management and team and individual development experience.
