## About the role

You're an HR Business Partner who's spent real time inside operational environments — places where the pace of the business and the people running it are tightly linked. You've coached frontline managers through hard conversations, and you've also earned the trust of senior leaders on tough people and team decisions. You're equally comfortable in both rooms.

## What they're looking for

- Partner with Operations leaders - from senior leadership to frontline managers — on workforce and organizational planning tied to production volume, client demand, and the pace of the business
- Coach managers, especially first-line and newer managers,on performance conversations and team dynamics, building their capability to handle these situations themselves
- Identify people risks inside Operations early - attrition patterns, capability gaps, engagement dips — by pairing data with what you're hearing directly from the people closest to the work
- Innovate centrally built people programs (performance cycles, comp changes, talent processes) to Operations' structure and calendar, and own execution on the ground
- Handle employee relations matters within Operations with appropriate discretion and sound judgment on what to resolve directly versus escalate
- Represent People, including recommended team and company procedures, at Operations' planning and leadership discussions as a standing partner
