About the Role
This position serves as a strategic partner to market leaders, dedicated to fostering a genuine safety culture and driving a positive employee experience. The role exists to bridge the gap between business objectives and human capital strategy, ensuring that HR practices not only comply with regulations but actively contribute to market success, retention, and engagement.
You will act as a present, active thought partner, identifying gaps in the associate experience and leading action planning to resolve them. A significant portion of the day involves collaborating with Area leaders, HR stakeholders, and compliance teams to execute strategic communication campaigns, manage complex employee relations investigations, and support labor negotiations. The role requires a balance of deep analytical work—using data to drive EPS (Employee Profitability Score) action planning—and high-touch leadership, such as coaching managers on performance management and facilitating training.
While the primary work environment is an office-based setting, the role demands significant interaction across multiple locations, including distribution centers and driver domicile yards. You will be expected to travel occasionally to support territory managers and engage directly with associates on the ground to ensure consistent execution of company policies and plays.
