• Partner with Talent Acquisition and business leaders on organizational design, succession planning, internal mobility, and critical talent needs.
• Use people data, business metrics, and employee insights to identify organizational risks, recommend solutions, and measure the impact of people initiatives.
• Lead cross-functional people initiatives that strengthen culture, employee experience, leadership effectiveness, and organizational performance.

Requirements: 

• 10+ years of progressive Human Resources experience, including significant HR Business Partner in a start-up healthcare organization designing and leading new programs.
• Demonstrated success building Leadership Development, Learning & Development, and Performance Management programs from the ground up.
• Strong experience managing complex employee relations, performance management, investigations, and organizational change.
• Experience supporting high-growth, fast-paced evolving, or transformation-stage organizations where structure and processes are still being built.
• Strong business and organizational acumen with the ability to connect people strategies to company goals and operating performance.
• Demonstrated ability to influence leaders, challenge constructively, and drive accountability without relying solely on formal authority.
• Experienced working with Lattice as a performance management system and identifying/leading L&D systems.
• Bachelor’s degree in Human Resources, Business, Organizational Development, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.

Preferred requirements:

• Experience supporting healthcare, healthcare technology, technology-enabled services, or another fast-growing professional environment.
• Experience with organizational design, succession planning, talent calibration, and leadership assessment.
• SHRM-SCP, SPHR, coaching, change management, or related professional certification.
• Entrepreneurial DNA: A 'builder' mentality with the ability to operate effectively in high-ambiguity environments where processes may not be fully fleshed out.
