Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer CenterAbout the role
About Us:
The people of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) are united by a singular mission: ending cancer for life. Our specialized care teams provide personalized, compassionate, expert care to patients of all ages. Informed by basic research done at our Sloan Kettering Institute, scientists across MSK collaborate to conduct innovative translational and clinical research that is driving a revolution in our understanding of cancer as a disease and improving the ability to prevent, diagnose, and treat it.

Exciting Opportunity at MSK: Human Resources Business Partner
At Memorial Sloan Kettering, everything we do is in service of one mission: ending cancer for life. That mission is carried forward by the clinicians caring for patients, the scientists at the Sloan Kettering Institute advancing discovery, and the corporate and shared services teams that make both possible — and right now, MSK is entering one of the most ambitious growth chapters in its history.
The Kenneth C. Griffin Pavilion opens in 2030, and our Regional Care Network is expanding across New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut, bringing world-class cancer care closer to more patients than ever before. Growth at this scale runs on people decisions: how we structure teams, develop leaders, and plan our workforce for what's next. Our HR Business Partners are at the center of those decisions every day, and this is a great opportunity to build your career at the heart of that work.
We are seeking an HR Business Partner to be the day-to-day HR consultant for assigned client groups across MSK. Our HRBPs support clinical, research, corporate, and shared services teams, and a strong HRBP can flex across all of them as needs evolve. This is a role with real ownership and a clear runway to grow.
