• Partner with leaders to attract, develop, and retain high-performing commercial and procurement talent, turning people capability into measurable business impact.
• Provide perspective and guidance on performance management, talent assessments, succession planning, and organizational effectiveness for commercial and procurement teams.
• Leverage HR tools, analytics, and systems to measure productivity, incentive effectiveness, capability gaps, and talent outcomes.
• Operate effectively within a matrix organization, collaborating with HR Centers of Excellence while owning business-specific execution and results.
• Ensure compliant and disciplined application of HR policies and practices while keeping focus on speed, agility, and business outcomes.

• Senior HR leader with +15 years of progressive HR experience, including direct partnership with commercial (sales/marketing) and procurement organizations.
• Demonstrated expertise in sales incentive design, commercial capability development, and procurement talent practices.
• Strong understanding of what drives high performance in salespeople and buyers, including role clarity, incentives, skill development, and leadership behaviors.
• Proven ability to translate business strategy into practical HR solutions that improve revenue growth, margin, and customer outcomes.
• Experience operating in complex, multi-channel go-to-market environments strongly preferred.
• Bachelor's degree required; MBA and SHRM/HRCI certification preferred.
• Strong business acumen, analytical capability, and comfort using data to inform decisions.
