People Business Partner

Own the talent strategy for assigned business units—embedded as an operator who shapes how teams are built, led, and developed. This role blends strategic partnership with hands-on execution: org design and workforce planning one day, coaching managers through tough conversations the next. At Delta Defense, we push the industry forward with urgency, humility, and a bias for progress over perfection. Complacency has no place here.

Responsibilities

• Serve as the primary People point of contact and trusted advisor for leaders and employees across Marketing, IT, Legal, and Finance, driving org design, workforce planning, and team effectiveness.
• Own resolution of complex employee relations issues, coaching managers through real, human situations—not just policy navigation.
• Drive succession planning, talent development, and hiring strategy for your business units, identifying and onboarding talent as part of a broader workforce plan.
• Shape the structure of new and evolving roles, including compensation positioning and competency requirements, in partnership with Total Rewards.
• Lead and localize execution of core People programs (performance reviews, engagement, benefits enrollment, self-service tools) for your business units.
• Use HR data and trends to proactively identify issues and bring actionable recommendations to leaders.
• Extend the same partnership model to the internal People Ops team, ensuring consistent execution of people processes.
• Lead or contribute to cross-functional People-led projects spanning HR and the broader business.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Human Resources, Business Administration, or related field (equivalent experience considered).
• 2+ years of experience in human resources functions.
• Business mindset—understand how People decisions impact the P&L, not just the org chart.
• Confidence owning complex employee relations situations end-to-end.
• Track record of influencing leaders, not just advising them.
• Ability to operate at both strategic and execution levels without dropping either.
• Comfort building the plane while flying it in a fast-paced, evolving environment.
• Demonstrated alignment with Delta Defense’s Core Values.
• Authorized to work in the U.S. without current or future sponsorship.
