• Analyzes trends and metrics in partnership with the People Operations Team to develop strategic solutions, programs and policies.
• Conducts effective, thorough and objective investigations.
• Provides day-to-day performance management guidance to business unit leaders independently and  with support from the Senior Manager of People Operations as needed (e.g., coaching, counseling, career development, disciplinary actions).
• In partnership with the People Operations team, supports (with opportunities to lead) cyclical people ops processes, such as performance reviews, compensation, bonuses, open enrollment, reporting, compliance, and others.
• Provides People Ops policy guidance and interpretation to leaders and employees.
