Job description

• We’re building a stronger HR business partner model at TSS, and this newly created role will help shape what that looks like.
• As our Associate HR Business Partner, you’ll be the dedicated HR partner for our East Coast teams while owning several company-wide HR programs. You’ll coach leaders, navigate employee relations, and help build practical, scalable people practices as we grow.

Responsibilities

• Partner with East Coast leaders on performance, employee development, team dynamics, and everyday people decisions.
• Manage employee relations matters, including investigations, corrective action, performance management, and separations.
• Support workforce changes and organizational initiatives in partnership with HR leadership.
• Own company-wide offboarding and use exit and turnover data to identify trends and retention risks.
• Manage employee records and retention practices, including employee files, internal offer letters, retention schedule purges, and preparation of records for legal review.
• Own the Employee Handbook and policy administration, including policy updates, labor law postings, multi-state compliance, implementation, and employee questions.
• Manage assigned HR Support tickets through resolution, ensuring employees and leaders receive timely, consistent support.
• Build and deliver employee training and support engagement and leadership initiatives.
• Support our UK and Mexico employee populations by providing process guidance, tools, and templates to the HR Manager and local partners.
• Use data, technology, and AI to improve HR processes, identify trends, and build scalable solutions.
• Support strategic HR projects and cross-functional priorities, including rollout planning and employee communications.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in HR, Business Administration, or a related field, or equivalent experience.

• Workday experience is strongly preferred, particularly as we transition from BambooHR to Workday.
• Experience supporting a distributed or field-based workforce is preferred.
