- Drive execution of People programs including performance coaching frameworks, engagement action planning, and policy rollouts

Retain → Keep great people

Protect the Business → Make the business run and grow smoothly

Requirements
- 4+ years of HR or People Ops experience, ideally in a fast-paced retail or hospitality environment
- Working knowledge of labor laws and compliance requirements (I-9s, wage & hour, documentation standards)
- Proven ability to manage multiple priorities and meet deadlines in a high-volume environment
