JOB SUMMARY The Lead HR Business Partner (HRBP), reporting to the Sr. Director, HR Business Partner, is a strategic, hands-on global partner who works closely with senior leaders across regions to drive people strategies that support business objectives in a fast-paced, evolving environment. This role serves as a trusted advisor to global client groups, partnering extensively with U.S.-based leaders and HR counterparts to ensure alignment, consistency, and scalability of people programs worldwide.
