• Operate within Management Services Agreements; maintain working knowledge of partner systems, governance schedules, and HRIS platforms with cultural humility
• Oversee recruiting strategy/execution, structured hiring equity, and employer branding; partner on job leveling, FLSA classifications, market benchmarking, and pay equity/transparency compliance
• Lead annual compensation/open-payroll/benefits cycles, driving multi-entity payroll accuracy and ACA/ERISA/COBRA/wage-and-hour compliance
• Supervise, evaluate, and develop HR team members (including HR Business Partners), building clear divisions of labor, remote-site collaboration, and SHRM/Tribal HR certification paths
