Senior Human Resources Business Partner, Functions

What is the opportunity?

As the Senior HRBP for Functions, reporting to the VP of HR, you will provide strategic advice and counsel to Operating Committee (OC) members and their Senior Leadership teams on all aspects of Human Resources including talent management, leadership development, employee engagement, compensation management, performance enablement, organizational design and change management.

What outcomes will you drive?

The following are key outcomes that you will drive in the HRBP role. Although listed separately, they often overlap and one influences the other. Your role will require you to constantly prioritize, re-prioritize, and integrate these outcomes:

• Strategy Development and Execution. In your role, it will be key that you understand both the HR and P&CBs strategic priorities and key initiatives and are working with your Leaders to determine people and organization implications for their teams. You will be an active force in imagining how the strategies apply and in determining initiatives to ensure they are executed within the teams you support.
• Advice and Consultation. The people-related questions and issues a Leader faces every day are as unique as the individuals that make up RBC. You will partner effectively with the Leaders and with other sources of expertise in HR to provide your best advice and counsel on how to resolve issues and concerns in a way that meets the needs of the individual and the organization. You will also be conversant with HR Data and its analysis so that you can inform decision-making and recommend actions around important topics such as Diversity and Inclusion, Engagement and all other outcomes listed here.
• Talent Performance and Development. You will work with the leadership team to acquire and assess talent. You will recommend ways to develop people to better perform their current roles and/or to prepare them for future roles. This will include informal 1:1 dialogues to create development plans as well as managing HRs performance, development, and succession cycles. This also includes the performance and development of the Leaders themselves, where you will provide feedback, coaching, and formal development recommendations.
• Organization Development and Change. Recognizing that the context within which people work (e.g., the organization structure, reward/compensation systems, leadership, their teams, and culture) all have an effect on their productivity and enjoyment, you will help Leaders to utilize these levers to achieve desired results and engagement while helping people to adopt any associated changes.
