Human Resources Business Partner

We are looking to add a Human Resources Business Partner to our team!  You will be handling both tactical and strategic work across a variety of areas. These span from providing regular guidance and data to management teams, assisting with challenging conversations and supporting team members and managers in performance management; to the more tactical side of helping to answer benefits questions and managing complex issues like FMLA. The HR Business Partner is driven to provide creative solutions for a wide variety of issues, working independently with guidance and support from the HR Manager and the broader HR organization.
You are a well-rounded generalist with a great understanding of HR best practices, policies, compliance, and laws. You've spent the time to study and pass the tests to demonstrate a body of knowledge, so we'd love it if you have your PHR and/or SHRM-CP. You are effective as an in-house health benefits expert, a mentor to our people managers, a listener who doesn't try to solve people's problems for them, and an advocate for our employees. You see a future where Human Resources is a key strategic differentiator for the company, you have ideas to get there and the tenacity to see the journey through.
