The Role
The Talent & Growth Strategy HR Manager will be a key player on the Talent & Growth Strategy Team, helping execute core HR functions across four key areas: HR systems & compliance, performance management, recruiting, and employee engagement. This manager-level role will focus on the day-to-day HR activities within the assigned office while collaborating across offices to ensure consistent, high-quality HR practices.
RESPONSIBILITIES
- Local HR Operations: Oversee the execution of HR activities specific to the assigned office, including onboarding, offboarding, compliance, policy implementation, and support for the Workday system. Handle local office events, internal communications, and resolve and escalate personnel issues as they arise.
- Performance Management: Collaborate with the Talent & Growth Strategy Team to execute the firm’s performance management programs. While the management and coordination of the performance cycle is centralized across the firm, the HRBP will help guide the office through performance evaluations, goal setting, and performance improvement initiatives.
- Recruiting: Support the execution of recruiting strategies for the office, collaborating with the Talent & Growth Strategy Team to align on job descriptions, sourcing, interviews, and offers. The HRBP will assist with candidate coordination and office-specific recruiting needs.
- Employee Engagement: Coordinate and execute employee engagement initiatives, ensuring consistency across offices. This includes organizing office events, executing professional development programs, and fostering a positive work culture. The HRBP will collaborate with the T&G Team to implement firmwide engagement initiatives that provide equal and impactful experiences for all employees, regardless of location.
- Collaboration Across Offices: Work closely with fellow HRBPs to support cross-functional initiatives related to performance management, recruiting, and employee engagement. Collaborate with the T&G Team to ensure alignment on all HR strategies and programs.
- Team Leadership: Manage the part-time Community Associate to assist with local office HR tasks, ensuring smooth execution of office-specific HR responsibilities.
- HR Strategy & Projects: Contribute to the execution of strategic HR initiatives, particularly those aimed at improving employee engagement, performance, and retention.
- Compliance & Reporting: Ensure compliance with all HR-related laws, policies, and procedures for the assigned office. Provide regular reporting and insights on key HR metrics, such as employee engagement, turnover rates, and performance management participation.
QUALIFICATIONS
- Experience: 3-5 years of experience in an HR Manager or HR generalist role, with a strong background in executing performance management, recruiting, and employee engagement programs. Experience managing or coordinating HR functions across multiple offices is highly preferred.
- Skills: Exceptional organizational skills, initiative, and proactive problem-solving ability. Strong communication skills (both written and verbal) are essential, with the ability to work asynchronously and collaborate effectively across time zones and locations. A deep understanding of HR compliance and the ability to implement best practices are required. Proficiency in HRIS systems (Workday preferred) and experience in analyzing HR data to inform decision-making.
- Education: Bachelor’s degree in Human Resources, Business Administration, or a related field. Relevant HR certifications (e.g., PHR, SHRM-CP) are a plus.
- Attributes: Strong ability to work independently and as part of a collaborative team. Highly adaptable, detail-oriented, and passionate about creating positive employee experiences across office locations.
Benefits:
- Competitive salary and benefits package, including health insurance, retirement contributions, and paid time off.
