Job Summary:

At Valir Health, people aren’t just our greatest asset — they’re the reason our mission moves forward every single day. As a People & Culture Business Partner, you’ll be the connective tissue between our P&C function and the teams we serve. You’ll show up as a trusted advisor, a skilled problem-solver, and a champion for a workplace where people feel seen, supported, and inspired to do their best work.

This isn’t a behind-the-desk HR role. You’ll be embedded in the business — present, curious, and proactive. Whether you’re coaching a manager through a tough conversation, digging into turnover trends, or helping shape how we grow our teams, you’ll have real impact at an organization where purpose drives everything we do.

Duties/Responsibilities:

Strategic Business Partnership

• Build genuine, trusted relationships with business unit leaders — becoming the partner they turn to first when people questions arise.
• Stay embedded in your business units through regular touchpoints — so you’re never reacting to issues but anticipating and shaping solutions ahead of them.
• Partner with leaders on workforce planning, organizational design, and succession — helping Valir build the teams we need today and tomorrow.
• Use people data and trend analysis to tell a story — and then turn that story into actionable programs, policies, and recommendations.

Employee Relations & Compliance

• Navigate complex employee relations matters with empathy and integrity — conducting thorough, fair investigations and helping leaders respond in ways that build trust, not erode it.
• Stay sharp on employment law and regulatory requirements — protecting the organization and our people by keeping compliance current and practical.
• Engage legal counsel when the stakes call for it — knowing when to partner up is a sign of good judgment, not a gap in expertise.
• Be the go-to resource for policy interpretation — translating HR-speak into clear, consistent guidance that managers and employees can actually use.

Performance Management & Coaching

• Equip managers to lead with confidence — coaching them through feedback conversations, performance concerns, career development, and corrective action in ways that are honest, human, and effective.
• Champion a culture of belonging and high performance — working alongside leaders and employees to strengthen relationships, lift morale, and create environments where people want to stay and grow.
• Develop deep expertise in at least one HR domain — whether that’s compensation, performance, learning & development, or talent acquisition — and bring that expertise to bear across the teams you support.

Learning, Development & Onboarding

• Identify what your teams need to grow — and connect those needs to targeted learning solutions that make a real difference on the job.
• Help design, deliver, and evaluate training programs — following through to ensure that what we teach actually sticks.
• Welcome new employees into the Valir family through an orientation experience that leaves them energized, informed, and proud of where they chose to work.

General

• Lean in wherever you’re needed — contributing to P&C team initiatives and organizational priorities as they evolve.

Supervisory Responsibilities:

No direct reports — but your influence extends far beyond an org chart. You’ll serve as a coach and mentor to colleagues and actively invest in the development of the employees you partner with across the organization.

Required Skills/Abilities:

• Communicates with clarity and confidence — written and verbal — and knows how to adjust your style depending on whether you’re coaching a frontline supervisor or advising a senior leader.
• Builds relationships naturally — people trust you quickly, and you take that trust seriously.
• Stays organized and detail-oriented in an environment where a lot is always in motion — and never lets something important fall through the cracks.
• Knows employment law well enough to apply it practically — not just cite it.
• Is genuinely curious about the business — you want to understand how Valir works, what drives our teams, and how HR can make a measurable difference.
• Manages time and competing priorities with ease — you meet deadlines, set expectations, and follow through.
• Thinks analytically and solves problems creatively — you’re comfortable with data and even more comfortable turning it into a recommendation.
• Is proficient in Microsoft Office Suite and HRIS platforms; experience with Paycom and/or 15Five is a plus.

Education, Licenses, Certifications and Experience:

• At least 5 years of HR experience, including meaningful work in employee relations and serving as a true business partner to operational teams.
• Broad HR knowledge across compensation, performance management, employee relations, organizational effectiveness, diversity & inclusion, and federal/state employment law.
• Bachelor’s degree preferred.
• PHR, SPHR, SHRM-CP, or SHRM-SCP credential preferred — or the drive to earn one within your first year.

Physical Requirements:

• Ability to speak, hear, and read English.
• Lift up to 15 lbs. from floor to 36” and from 36” to 64” (occasional).
• Walk up to .25 miles (occasional).
• Sustained forward bending in sitting (occasional).
• Push/Pull up to 15 lbs. of force at 36” (occasional).
• Repetitive squat motion (occasional).
• Ability to stand (constant), sit (occasional), sustained squat (occasional), kneeling (occasional).
• Full body range of motion (constant).
• Front carry — two-handed carry of 15 lbs. up to 20 feet (occasional).
• Balance (occasional) in walking, standing, carrying, and moving patients and equipment.

Working Conditions:

This role is primarily performed in an indoor, climate-controlled environment with occasional travel and exposure to outdoor elements. As part of a healthcare organization, this position may be incidentally exposed to a range of environmental factors including communicable diseases, hazardous materials, sharp objects, body fluids, electronic equipment, high-pitched noise, and repetitive motion.

Safe Environment:

• Demonstrate knowledge of Valir’s safety program, including applicable management plans for safety, security, hazardous materials, emergency preparedness, life safety, medical equipment, and utility systems.
• Follow all infection control policies and procedures to protect self, patients, and staff.
• Observe proper body mechanics and safety precautions in all job duties.
• Report incidents involving self, patients, staff, or visitors through appropriate channels, including facility incident reporting systems.
• Operate all equipment safely and promptly report and address unsafe situations.

Growth & Development:

• Show up for all applicable training, development workshops, and mandatory annual competencies — as a P&C professional, you model the learning culture you help build.
• Proactively seek out learning opportunities that sharpen your expertise and elevate those around you.
• Welcome feedback — and use it to keep getting better.
• Invest in your professional growth through community involvement, peer networks, and continuing education.
