What We’re Looking For
Project Management, Organizational Planning & Execution: You will be given responsibility for critical projects early and often. We expect you to ramp up quickly and own your work from start to finish. As a critical player on a small People Ops team, you will be in the spotlight early and often. You should feel comfortable seeking clarity on your responsibilities and then taking total ownership to drive the work while partnering with the VP of People Operations to clear roadblocks. To demonstrate this, we expect you to have experience owning and driving processes.
Influencing and Relationship-Building: Success in this role requires emotional agility. The HR Business Partner will need to demonstrate that they can make a difference quickly while embracing a performance-driven culture. They will also need to establish credibility with existing employees and managers by demonstrating technical expertise and a willingness to work with others to achieve a goal without taking all the credit. They should take their work seriously, but not themselves. They should be ambitious but grounded. They should get satisfaction out of building something great with people they respect and trust. You should be a skilled active listener that naturally expresses empathy.
Be Creative and Resourceful: The HR Business Partner will need to be able to do more with less. A person who is a good fit for this job does not like jobs where there are periods of the day / week / year when there’s not much going on. This person will enjoy being a bit stretched on a day-to-day basis because 1) it’s way more fun to be busy and 2) s/he understands that when we push ourselves, we learn, grow, and develop
Be a Systems Thinker: The HR Business Partner will need to work with the VP of People Operations to maintain (and sometimes re-design or create) repeatable, efficient, and compliant HR operations. They should think creatively and incorporate talent best practices spanning HR operations, talent management, compensation, benefits, policies and compliance to drive organizational efficiency.
Fluency with Data and Reporting: We are incredibly data-driven when it comes to our people. We will seek to deploy a highly data driven and human cantered performance management process, a process to monitor engagement and pulse our employee base, and with the new HRIS will be able to report much more regularly and completely to the broader organization. The HR generalist will be the data guru on the HR team, so a fluency and love for data and how it improves outcomes is critical.
Possess Strong Self-Awareness and EQ: People are complex. They require empathy, compassion, and support. Sometimes they need tough love. To do this deftly requires a strong understanding of self and a high degree of EQ to be able to appropriately diagnose and then handle employee relations issues. While of course the VP of People Operations will be involved with any significant issues, the HR Business Partner should be capable of working one on one with many employees.
Celebrate and Enjoy the Journey: At times, the HR Business Partner will face challenges rolling out either systems or programs, while managing the multiple stakeholders from across the organization. With support from the VP of People Operations, this individual will need to be comfortable pushing back on how things may have been done in the past, while also communicating effectively to gain critical buy-in throughout the organization. They will be critical to driving cross-functional collaboration and will need to provide objective and specific data points to encourage the development of colleagues.
Treat Ourselves and Our Customers with Respect: Success in this role requires emotional agility. The HR Business Partner will need to demonstrate that they can make a difference quickly while embracing a performance-driven culture. They will also need to establish credibility with existing employees and managers by demonstrating technical expertise and a willingness to work with others to achieve a goal without taking all the credit. They should take their work seriously, but not themselves. They should be ambitious but grounded. They should get satisfaction out of building something great with people they respect and trust.
Growth Mindset: This role offers tremendous growth opportunities for those that take advantage. We want you to show us how you have improved yourself in work and in life, and what you do to sharpen your skills on the job and make the most of your potential.
Optimism, Tenacity & Conflict Resolution: At times, this individual will face challenges rolling out systems, new processes, or transformational initiatives. This individual has the responsibility for quarterbacking initiatives spanning across functions and on teams without any individuals reporting directly to him or her. Doing things with others, not to others, is paramount, so a level-headed, empathetic, business-minded approach to challenge is key. You will have several stories in which you rolled up your sleeves and “got it done” despite challenging circumstances, difficult co-workers, and other significant obstacles. Follow-through in the face of adversity is very important.
Comfort with Ambiguity: At times, this role will be responsible for taking nebulous ideas and translating them into specific, concrete actions. Your work will rarely be paint-by-number. You will be comfortable taking nebulous direction, translating it into a plan, and enlisting those you need to get the job done. As such, you will have examples of times when you took a poorly-formed idea, sharpened it, and owned its execution from start to finish.
Kind, Humble, and Fun: We want you to be a person we enjoy collaborating with, spending time with, and investing in. You may be this person if you already invest heavily in those you work with, and if you consistently receive the feedback that you are a great colleague and teammate. A great sign is if people go out of their way to work with you, no matter the situation
