Des Moines, United States Wellmark Blue Cross and Blue Shield Full time

Job Description

About the Role:  At Wellmark, Human Resources support of business strategy is a crucial and dedicated partnership aimed at supporting our mission of making health care better. This HR Business Partner role supports a dynamic team of leaders in our Operations division, a large, complex team with a highly diverse volume of work that directly enables our strategy, bringing it to life for our customers and members. This critical group is firmly grounded in the foundation of our business.

You'll be accountable for building meaningful relationships with executives and business leaders, developing a deep understanding of organizational strategy, and using data to analyze trends that help inform decisions related to shaping division and department level initiatives. You’ll serve as an advocate for aligning HR initiatives and programs directly to the business objectives of the division in order to drive meaningful outcomes for the business, our employees and ultimately our customers. Although you'll be responsible for serving as a highly integrated and influential member of the leadership team within your assigned division and you’ll provide expertise and consulting on a variety of topics such as division strategic planning, talent planning and organizational design, you won't do it alone. You'll work closely with others, collaborating often with your HR COEs (Employee Relations, Compensation, Talent Acquisition, Talent Development, etc.) and business leaders to ensure delivery of a cohesive support model, all driving to maximize outcomes aligned with business strategy.

About You:  Ideal candidates are at their best when they’re at the heart of the action—you react quickly and easily draw connections when business challenges arise in the moment, dynamically tying business priorities to HR initiatives, drawing equally upon both your extensive knowledge of the business and your human resources subject matter expertise. Naturally curious, you are a big-picture thinker, and you love connecting the dots to the many activities that are occurring within the business. Consulting and strategic business partnership is your bread and butter; while you possess expertise in the application of employment law and regulation, you’ll serve more in an advisory capacity, leaning on others to help support you in the resolution of more transactional items so you can spend your time where you can add the most strategic value. 

Ideally, you will have wide-ranging experience as a business partner as well as deep expertise in one or more functional areas of HR and you partner with your HR COEs to develop and deliver collaborative solutions. You consider yourself a business professional who happens to specialize in HR consulting. You’ve been told you have a knack for anticipating your stakeholders needs and consider a consulting conversation a success if it involves a healthy amount of constructive discord. Navigating and negotiating complex business dynamics is something you do every day. If you love to come to work each day not sure what new opportunity will present itself, if you’re always ready for anything and are energized by running quickly alongside the executives that you support – and having a great time while you do it – this might be the place for you

This position will enjoy the flexibility of a hybrid work schedule (3+ days a week in office), however you should expect to flex to the needs of your stakeholders and enjoy lots of in-person time with those you work mostly closely with.

Qualifications

Required:

Bachelor's Degree OR equivalent work experience

7+ years of related experience:

Demonstrated experience building effective relationships, conducting critical conversations and collaborating with stakeholders, employees and HR colleagues Human Resource Generalist experience or equivalent related work experience, including experience providing advanced consulting to complex business units; prior experience supporting business development/health industry functions ( Sales, Marketing, Communications, Product, Market Insights, etc.) preferred Demonstrated experience providing effective consulting and influencing decisions through sound judgment and data analysis to effectively drive positive business outcomes and resolve complex issues; experience supporting significant change management efforts through effective planning and collaboration Familiarity with the HR disciplines of compensation, benefits, performance management, succession planning and talent development Proven understanding of regulatory compliance and employee relations concepts Demonstrated ability to be detail oriented and dependable, and the ability to be a quick learner Effective prioritization and time management skills
