• Coach Operations managers through difficult conversations, including performance improvement plans and calibration discussions, ensuring fair and consistent evaluation across teams.

• Partner with Operations leaders and the Compensation and Benefits teams on compensation and total rewards decisions, helping leaders understand market positioning, internal equity, and enterprise programs.
• Champion diversity, equity, and inclusion practices with Operations, coaching managers on inclusive hiring and day-to-day decision-making.

• Partner with Operations and HR COEs to ensure effective onboarding and offboarding experiences, using new-hire and exit insights to identify opportunities to improve retention and employee experience.
• Build credibility and influence with Operations managers, including those initially resistant to HR involvement, through data-driven conversations, hands-on partnership, and a genuine understanding of operational priorities.
