Human Resources Business Partner

Description

Position Summary

The People Business Partner owns the talent strategy for their assigned business units not as an advisor on the sidelines, but as an embedded operator who shapes how those teams are built, led, and developed. This role sits at the intersection of strategic partnership and hands-on execution: shaping org design and workforce planning one day, coaching a manager through a hard employee conversation the next.

At Delta Defense, we're not chasing comfortable. We're the people pushing this industry forward, and we don't apologize for how we show up.

• Complacency Kills. We move fast, we chase progress over perfection, and entitlement doesn't have a home here. If you're looking for a place to coast, this isn't it.
• We're Built Different. We work hard, we have a genuinely good time doing it, and we lead with humility over ego. We're not for everyone and we're fine with that.

• Business partnership Serve as the primary People point of contact and trusted advisor for leaders and employees across assigned functions (Marketing, IT, Legal, Finance), driving organizational design, workforce planning, and team effectiveness decisions.

• Talent strategy Drive succession planning, talent development, and hiring strategy for your business units, identifying and onboarding new talent as part of a broader workforce plan.
• Org & role design Shape the structure of new and evolving roles, including compensation positioning and competency requirements, in partnership with Total Rewards.
• Program leadership Lead and localize execution of core People programs (performance reviews, engagement, benefits enrollment, self-service tools) for your business units, translating company-wide strategy into something leaders and employees actually understand and use.
• Insight-driven action Use HR data and trends to identify issues before they become problems, and bring recommendations, not just observations, to leaders.
• HR for HR Extend the same partnership model to the internal People Ops team, supporting consistent execution of people processes within the department.
• Cross-functional projects Lead or contribute to People-led projects of varying scope, spanning HR and the broader business.

What You Bring

• Bachelor's degree in Human Resources, Business Administration, or related field (equivalent experience considered)
• 2+ years of experience with human resources functions
• A business mindset you understand how People decisions move the P&L, not just the org chart
• Confidence owning complex employee relations situations end-to-end

• Ability to operate at both altitudes strategy and execution without dropping either
• Comfort building the plane while flying it, in a fast-paced, evolving environment
