  • Support HR programs and annual cycles, including performance management, talent reviews, employee engagement activities, and other people initiatives.
  • Collaborate with Payroll, HR Operations, Talent Acquisition, Finance, IT, and other internal partners to support the delivery of HR services across the U.S.
  • Help maintain alignment with company policies, HR procedures, and applicable employment practices by ensuring documentation and administrative processes are complete and properly managed.
  • Identify opportunities to improve the coordination, standardization, and efficiency of HRBP support activities and assist with implementing process improvements.
  • Build effective working relationships with stakeholders across functions and geographies while providing responsive, service-oriented HR support.

  • Working knowledge of U.S. employment practices and fundamental HR compliance concepts.
  • Experience using Workday or a similar HR information system.
  • Strong proficiency with Microsoft Office, including Excel, PowerPoint, Word, and Outlook.
  • Demonstrated ability to handle confidential and sensitive information with discretion and professionalism.
