  • Takes ownership of tasks with a bias toward action.
  • Feels energized by navigating complexity and creating clarity in uncertain situations.
  • Excels in a collaborative, all-hands-on-deck team environment where no task is too big or small.
Your responsibilities:
  • Partner with leadership to evaluate and address organizational needs, including optimizing structure, enhancing team effectiveness, and driving change initiatives.
  • Lead talent strategy to align with business objectives—assess key roles, identify potential leaders, and guide succession planning.
  • Support transformation efforts by embedding people strategies into organizational changes.

  • Convert business priorities into actionable plans that drive performance, culture, and growth.

  • Leverage analytics to provide actionable insights, highlight trends, and guide decision-making.
  • Mentor and support colleagues to ensure consistency and quality in delivery across the HR team.
  • Champion diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) initiatives to promote a more inclusive culture.
  • Provide guidance on HR policies and employment laws (e.g., EEOC, ADA, FMLA), working in partnership with the legal and compliance teams.
  • Assist with HR administrative tasks as needed.
  • Ensure accurate HRIS system updates for role and department changes.
What we’re looking for:
  • A Bachelor’s degree and 8+ years of HR experience, ideally in fast-growing organizations, with a strong track record of partnering with senior leadership.
  • HR certification (PHR/SPHR or SHRM-CP/SCP) is preferred; knowledge of employment law, particularly in California, is a plus.
  • A solid understanding of business drivers and performance metrics.
  • A creative problem-solver with the ability to thrive in dynamic, high-demand situations.
  • An exceptional communicator, able to influence and build trust at all levels of the organization.
  • Experience managing projects and prioritizing competing demands.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft tools (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) and HR systems.
  • Ability to leverage data tools to provide key insights and metrics for decision-making related to recruitment, engagement, and turnover.
