- Support a globally dispersed workforce, adapting people practices to local laws, norms, and cultural expectations
- Coach managers on performance, feedback, development, and leading distributed, cross-cultural teams
- Build trust quickly with leaders and employees, serving as a steady, empathetic resource during growth, change, and difficult moments
- Lead employee relations matters, including investigations, resolutions, and documentation, with fairness and discretion
- Guide organizational design, role definition, and workforce planning as teams scale internationally
- Drive core people programs such as performance cycles, compensation reviews, goal setting, and engagement initiatives with a global lens
- Work with legal counsel, payroll, and employer-of-record or local partners to ensure compliance with employment regulations in each country where we operate
- Use people data and employee feedback to spot trends across business groups, surface risks, and recommend actions
- Support change management and communications through reorganizations, growth, and new initiatives
- Partner with Talent Acquisition on hiring plans, leveling, offers, and onboarding for both U.S. and international hires
- Strengthen a culture of trust, accountability, and growth, and help us evolve our people practices as we scale
