Profile

REQUIREMENTS 7+ years of progressive HR experience, with demonstrated success in HR Business Partner or HRPP roles supporting corporate client groups. Strong track record navigating complex employee relations and advising senior leadership through ambiguity and transformation. High emotional intelligence—able to flex between coach, mediator, strategist, and executor depending on the moment. Exceptional communication and influence skills; able to clearly distill information, challenge thinking constructively, and drive alignment without unnecessary escalation. Comfort operating in fast‑paced, high‑growth, evolving environments where priorities shift and solutions are not always defined. Demonstrated ability to use data and insights to shape strategy and influence decisions. Strategic but scrappy, equally comfortable setting vision and rolling up your sleeves—thriving in gray space, asking the right questions, not just executing the last ask. Experience working in matrixed or multi‑functional organizations; beauty, consumer goods, or CPG experience preferred. Knowledge of California and U.S. employment law; HR certification a plus (PHR, SPHR, SHRM‑CP, etc.).
