  • Act as a steward of HR policies and continuous improvement, gathering feedback, running audits, and refining HR programs and data practices. 

  • Serve as a strategic advisor to corporate leaders, helping them anticipate talent risks, navigate ambiguity, and lead through complexity. 

  • Promote collaboration within the HR community and with stakeholders across corporate teams to drive unified and consistent support. 

  • Challenge assumptions and guide corporate leaders on the talent implications of business decisions, offering evidence-based alternatives. 

  • Manage ad-hoc priorities with agility, reprioritizing to meet evolving business needs.
