Description
As our HR Business Partner, you'll play a dual role: leading our talent acquisition strategy to attract and hire the people who will fuel our growth, while also partnering with leaders to shape the broader people agenda.

HR Business Partnering

• Positive, proactive, and solution-focused; comfortable with ambiguity and competing priorities.
• Strong communication skills, with clear and concise written and verbal updates.
