Senior HRBP

Responsibilities

• Consult with People Leaders, providing HR guidance when appropriate.
• Analyzes trends and metrics in partnership with the People Operations team to develop solutions, programs, and policies.
• Manages and resolves complex employee relations issues. Conducts effective, thorough, and objective investigations.
• Maintains in-depth knowledge of legal requirements related to day-to-day management of Team Members, reducing legal risks, and ensuring regulatory compliance.
• Provides day-to-day performance management guidance to People Leaders (coaching, counseling, career development, and progressive discipline).
• Works closely with Senior Leaders, People Leaders, and Team Members to improve work relationships, build morale, and increase productivity and retention.
• Provides HR policy guidance and interpretation.
• Provides guidance and input on department restructures, talent planning, and calibration.
• Identifies training needs for business units and individual People Leader coaching needs.
• Performs other related duties as assigned.

Requirements

• 5+ years of progressive HR experience, with at least 3 years in a dedicated HRBP role — ideally within a consumer, retail, or DTC brand environment.
• Proven ability to operate as a standalone HR function - comfortable owning the full employee lifecycle without a team beneath you, and resourceful enough to build from the ground up.
• Deep employee relations expertise, including conducting thorough, unbiased investigations and navigating complex, sensitive situations with discretion and sound judgment.
• Experience partnering directly with senior and executive leadership as a strategic advisor - not just an executor - on org design, talent planning, and workforce decisions.
• A track record of building and scaling people programs (performance management, manager development, engagement) in a lean, high-growth environment.
• Strong command of California employment law and HR compliance requirements; experience in a CA-headquartered or CA-majority workforce is a strong plus.
• Experience supporting both corporate and hourly/retail workforces — the ability to flex your partnership style across very different employee populations.
• A builder's mentality - you're energized by ambiguity, don't need a playbook handed to you, and take pride in creating structure where little exists.
• Exceptional interpersonal and communication skills; you earn trust quickly, handle conflict with maturity, and know when to push back on leadership.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree preferred but not required; SHRM-CP, SHRM-SCP, PHR, or SPHR certification is a plus.

Additional Requirements

• Ability to sit for prolonged periods at a desk and work on a computer.
• Must be able to lift up to 40 pounds at times.
• May need to travel 10-30% annually.
