Do you love being in the trenches with business leaders instead of just sitting in HR meetings? Can you have a hard conversation with a senior stakeholder without flinching? Do you see a spreadsheet of headcount and engagement data and immediately spot the story it's telling?
In this gig,
You're in the room where strategy happens
You partner directly with business leaders to align people strategy with growth plans — not as a note-taker, but as someone who pushes back when the plan doesn't add up. You know the difference between a leader who needs a workforce plan and one who just needs a sounding board, and you show up prepared either way.
You see the gaps before they become fires
You drive workforce planning — hiring demand, skill mapping, resource optimization — by actually digging into what the business needs next, not just filling open reqs.



You spot skill gaps early and build the plan to close them before they slow a project down.
You make performance management feel human, not bureaucratic
You own the full cycle — goal setting, reviews, managing both your top performers and the ones who need a direct conversation. You build systems managers will actually use, and you coach them through the awkward parts instead of just handing them a template.
You're the person managers call before the difficult conversation, not after
You coach and support managers on team management, feedback, and the conversations nobody wants to have first. You know how to walk a manager through a conflict without taking it off their plate entirely — because the goal is a better manager, not a crutch.
You read the room before people start walking out the door
You monitor engagement, spot the early signs of attrition or burnout, and build retention plays that address the real reason people leave — not the generic ones from a surv
