  • Address complex employee relations issues with discretion, providing coaching and gathering feedback.
  • Partner closely with other PBPs, HR Generalists, the Talent Acquisition team, and colleagues across the People team to design and implement effective, people-focused solutions.
  • While focused on the Global GTM team, this role may also provide counsel and support to other teams as needed.
  • Oversee benefits and compliance for the AMER region.

What you bring

  • 8+ years of experience in HR business partnering, including at least 2 years of managing a small team.
  • Deep expertise in managing AMER benefits and HR compliance.
  • Proven experience as a People Business Partner, supporting executive leaders, senior and entry-level managers, as well as individual contributors.
  • Bonus: Experience partnering with GTM or customer-facing teams in a high-growth, global organization is highly preferred.
