Human Resources Business Partner

Key Responsibilities

Strategic Performance Coaching & Culture (60%)

• Courageous Accountability: Identify performance gaps in your portfolio early; partner with leaders to implement documented, high-quality support plans that reach a definitive resolution swiftly.

• Just Culture Implementation: Train and coach leaders to use the Just Culture Rubric to distinguish between human error, at-risk behavior, and reckless behavior in disciplinary actions.

• On-the-Ground Diagnostic & Thought Partnership: Maintain a consistent presence in schools to proactively monitor adult culture. Partner with school leaders to move beyond treating symptoms by identifying root-cause issues and serving as a consultant to reveal gaps in accountability.

• Intervention Design & Evaluation: Lead the end-to-end lifecycle of cultural interventions, from designing high-impact strategies to evaluating their efficacy. Use ER metrics and qualitative data to build compelling cases for systemic change, ensuring that interventions result in a measurable decrease in repeat incidents and a sustained high-performance environment.

Employee Relations & Risk Management (25%)

• High-Efficacy ER: Manage complex investigations and employee relations incidents with rigor and speed, aiming for closure within 5–10 school days.

• Talent Risk Mitigation: Guide leaders through difficult transitions (terminations, exits) ensuring the process is legally sound, human-centered, and culturally reinforcing.

Operational Excellence & Innovation (15%)

• Data-Informed Advocacy: Translate retention trends and survey data into actionable "leadership moves" for school management.

• AI Integration: Ethically leverage AI as a strategic "co-pilot" to accelerate workflows and drive innovation within the Talent & Equity team.

• Compliance & Safety: Oversee Workers’ Compensation administration, OSHA reporting, and reasonable accommodation requests with meticulous attention to detail.
