Introduction - Position Overview

We are looking for a super hands-on and experienced HR professional with a broad array of functional skills in the people discipline, walking the line of both People Operations and a strategic business partner.  You will drive operational excellence, efficiency while also closely supporting the business on all people matters.  At a high level, this includes employee onboarding, compensation, benefits, immigration, leaves, payroll, compliance, HRIS (Rippling), program administration and technical design, employee relations, and counseling, audits, reporting, various engagement initiatives, and exits.

You will help reimagine, design, elevate, execute and manage the roll out of various common (and hopefully new and uncommon) cyclical company-wide HR programs, e.g. performance management, talent reviews, open enrollment, comp analysis and recommendations, promotion program, and quarterly employee surveys.

In this role, you will also be responsible for partnering and strategizing very closely with the other People leaders and your US business clients, strengthening our partnership and support to the point where you’re viewed as a trusted and valued extension of their teams. You will be a thought leader and partner to our business leaders, and help coach and guide our US employee base (approximately 65). 

This role reports into the CPO, and you will serve on the Culture and People management team.  You are both strategic and tactical, and will be critical to enhancing our employee offerings and services, and overall employee experience.
