Promote a culture of inclusion, accountability, engagement, and continuous improvement across all assigned areas.

Employee & Labor Relations

Lead and support the HRBP team in managing all aspects of employee relations, including performance management, corrective actions, workplace concerns, grievance handling, and policy interpretation.

Ensure HRBPs provide consistent and effective ER guidance to supervisors and employees, with routine matters handled by HRBP I/II roles and complex or high-risk issues escalated to HRBP III/senior HRBPs or the HRBP Lead.

Foster a proactive and solutions-focused ER approach that promotes accountability, inclusion, and employee engagement.

Collaborate with the Labor Relations COE on matters involving collective bargaining agreements, formal grievances, and union engagement, ensuring alignment between employee relations actions and contractual obligations.

Support HRBPs in partnering effectively with the Labor Relations COE for issues that intersect both ER and LR scopes.

Organizational Design & Change Management

Lead or consult on organizational assessments, restructures, and change initiatives, ensuring alignment with institutional priorities and financial sustainability.

Provide guidance on job redesigns, spans of control, and reporting structures to improve operational effectiveness.

HR Program Implementation

Serve as a liaison between Embedded Services and HR COE’s to ensure seamless implementation of HR programs (e.g., performance management, engagement surveys, merit increases).

Monitor trends, assess impact, and recommend improvements to HR programs and policies based on stakeholder feedback and institutional needs.

Other Functions

Performs other duties as assigned.

More than 10 years of progressive HR experience, including advanced employee and/or labor relations leadership in highly complex organizational environments.

At least five (5) years of people leadership or team management experience.

Executive-level experience leading resolution strategies for high-risk, enterprise-wide, or highly sensitive employee and/or labor relations matters; advising senior leadership on organizational risk, conflict navigation, and institutional response strategies.

Demonstrated experience as a strategic HR Business Partner or HR leader supporting senior-level clients.
