This role involves partnering with client groups, building AI-powered HR workflows, and supporting employee relations while embedding with the HRBP team to enhance organizational effectiveness.

• Serve as the HRBP team’s COE connector, building templates, communications, and enablement materials, and support board prep, calibrations, and engagement survey insights

• Build and own AI tools that automate HRBP work, iterating based on feedback and usage data
• Own HRBP’s North America emergency response playbook and support quarterly exit project work

Requirements:

• Comfort experimenting with AI tools and turning ideas into working solutions, with or without engineering support
• Broad understanding of HR practices including performance, risk management, coaching, engagement and retention, workforce planning, employee relations, compensation, culture and values
