  • Experience implementing policies and procedures for both exempt and non-exempt employee populations is necessary.
  • In-depth understanding of People best practices, with the ability to move seamlessly from strategy development to execution. 
  • Self-starter with the ability to work independently and manage multiple projects at once.
  • Excellent communication skills, with executive presence and poise. 
  • Hospitality/"Start-up" experience could definitely be beneficial.
 

Additional Responsibilities: 

  • Serve as an integral member of the WNDR Global team to advise on People Operations; including crafting job descriptions and assistance hiring, training and providing employee related attraction and retention strategies to leadership, managers and functional specialists.
  • Lead the continual development of HR programs, including, but not limited to; compensation, benefits, employee relations, performance management, and learning & development 
  • Collaborate with stakeholders and cross-functional teams to implement a customer-focused mindset in building out People technology, processes, and operational capabilities across all WNDR locations. 
  • Partner with leaders to shape how People Operations fits into WNDR’s overall business strategy and supports desired business outcomes as WNDR scales. 
  • Continuous evaluation of the competitive landscape (market trends and data), to ensure WNDRs people programs remain competitive and efficient.
