How you’ll make an impact
You will serve as a thought partner to executive leadership across the central team.
You will design and lead scalable programs around performance management, engagement, talent development, and succession planning in collaboration with the central team and business partners.
You will drive change management strategies for major org shifts, restructures, or leadership transitions — ensuring clarity and continuity at every level while minimizing disruption.
You will lead and mentor a small team of HRBPs while also being hands-on when needed.
You will act as a thought partner to the Chief People Officer and cross-functional HR leaders on people priorities and initiatives.
You will analyze engagement surveys and people data to identify risks, trends, and opportunities and proactively create action plans.
You will navigate employee relations issues with fairness, discretion, and alignment to company values and legal guidance.
You will partner closely with DEI, Total Rewards, and Talent Acquisition to ensure HR strategies are holistic and inclusive.
You will facilitate leadership offsites, talent reviews, and organizational health assessments with clarity and direction.
You will develop playbooks and toolkits that empower people managers to lead with confidence and consistency.
You will collaborate with Legal and Compliance to ensure all HR practices align with evolving laws, regulations, and internal governance.
You will collaborate effectively with other functional leaders to optimize cross-functional activities and support their objectives.
We could be a match if
You have 10+ years of progressive HR experience, including at least 5 years in a leadership role, preferably at the Director level or above.
You’ve led HR strategy across complex, matrixed organizations — ideally in a holding company or multi-brand corporate structure.
You’ve supported corporate functions such as Finance, Legal, People, and Communications, and know how to navigate competing priorities.
You bring sharp program management skills — you don’t just talk strategy, you operationalize it.
You’ve built trust with executive leaders while also advocating for scalable, employee-first solutions.
You’re known for balancing business objectives with empathy, equity, and transparency.
You’ve successfully led teams through periods of change, ambiguity, and organizational restructuring.
You stay grounded in data and use it to guide decision-making, influence leaders, and measure impact.
You’ve successfully supported both high-growth and stabilizing teams, adjusting your HR playbook to meet each moment.
You’re confident navigating executive personalities, managing up, and pushing back with data and diplomacy.
You understand the nuances of working within a publicly traded or highly regulated company.
You’ve led org design conversations that resulted in measurable improvements in alignment, efficiency, or morale.
Benefits Our mission is simple – to help people find love and happiness. We offer benefits focused on Mind & Body, Financial Wellness, Unplug, Career, and Family. We also host company gatherings to build connection and belonging.
