This role involves executing core People cycles and coordinating employee lifecycle transactions, requiring a Bachelor's degree and at least 5 years of HR experience.
Responsibilities
- Serve as the go-to advisor for managers and employees across assigned business groups on People policies, workplace situations, and gray areas where policy meets reality
- Manage complex employee cases and Tier-3 escalations, applying judgment and discretion while keeping things consistent and compliant
- Execute core People cycles including performance reviews, compensation planning, talent calibrations, and workforce changes from start to finish
- Coordinate employee lifecycle transactions like internal transfers, promotions, reorganizations, job changes, and offboarding with accuracy and care
- Partner with People Partners, Legal, Shared Services, Talent Acquisition, Compensation, Immigration, and other Centers of Excellence to untangle issues and deliver solutions that work
- Support sensitive change initiatives by validating data, documenting decisions, enabling managers, drafting employee communications, and ensuring compliant execution
- Review workforce and organizational data to spot trends, catch discrepancies, and surface insights that help business leaders make better talent decisions
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree and a minimum of 5 years in HR generalist, employee relations, or People operations roles, or an advanced degree and a minimum of 3 years of related experience
- Deep working knowledge of HR policies, employment law basics, and how to apply them in real situations without creating more risk
- Experience managing complex employee cases, Tier-3 escalations, and sensitive workplace situations with discretion and sound judgment
- Hands-on experience executing People programs like performance cycles, compensation planning, workforce changes, or organizational transitions
- Comfort working in HRIS systems like Workday to process transactions, pull data, validate accuracy, and troubleshoot issues
- Strong analytical skills to review workforce data, identify trends or gaps, and translate what you find into actionable insights
- Expertise in the Microsoft suite of tools required
- Experience partnering with Legal, Compensation, Talent Acquisition, or other Centers of Excellence
Desired Qualifications
- Experience with Success Factors, Visier, Betterworks, and PAVE platforms is a plus
- You can take a messy situation with incomplete information and figure out the right next step without waiting for someone to tell you what to do
- You explain policy in plain language, not HR speak, and managers walk away from conversations with you knowing exactly what they need to do next
- You stay calm when a case gets escalated, a reorg timeline moves up, or someone is upset, and you focus on solving the problem in front of you
- You know when to handle something yourself and when to pull in Legal, Compensation, or a People Partner, and you do it early enough to matter
- You keep track of a lot of moving pieces at once without dropping details, missing deadlines, or losing sight of what is confidential
- You care about making processes better, not just getting through them, and you speak up when something is broken or inconsistent
Benefits
- Comprehensive range of health, wellness, and financial benefits
- Total rewards include both monetary and non-monetary offerings
- Potential eligibility for an annual bonus, equity, and other discretionary bonuses
- Comprehensive health, wellness, and financial benefits as part of a competitive total rewards package
