Strong employee relations skills and sound judgment
Experience supporting recruiting and talent acquisition activities
Comfortable working across multiple areas of HR rather than within one narrow specialty
Proactive, resourceful, and capable of working independently
Able to manage competing priorities in a fast-paced, evolving environment
Strong relationship-building, communication, and problem-solving skills
Willing to remain close to the work and contribute at both strategic and tactical levels
