Help drive performance and engagement through impactful people programs: coaching, calibration, talent planning, rewards, etc.
Leverage AI‑driven analytics and predictive modeling to anticipate people risks (turnover, performance, skills gaps) and recommend interventions.
Flex between the strategic and the operational: support daily people needs while contributing to big‑picture initiatives.
Relentlessly improve our ways of working – simplify processes using AI / intelligent tools, automate what’s manual, and raise the bar for how we support our teams.

Navigate ambiguity with confidence and know when to ask, act, or elevate.
Comfortable with data & analytics / using AI‑powered tools to generate insights (Workday analytics, AI dashboards, HRIS, etc.).
