People Experience Partner

You're the primary people partner for leaders across your assigned market - the person they lean on to develop their teams and work through tough people matters. As a true business partner, you guide Operations leaders through employee relations, coaching, and growing their people, and you partner on leadership hiring as roles open up. When you do this well, sites run healthier, leaders lead with confidence, and the business performs - all while workplaces stay fair, compliant, and energized.

Leader Coaching & Capability - Provide proactive coaching that strengthens leadership and reduces workplace risk, building leaders' confidence to handle people matters with sound judgment. Workforce & Succession Planning - Partner with leaders on workforce planning, promotion readiness, and succession conversations, and support internal promotions and mobility into leadership roles. Data-Informed Insights - Monitor market-level people metrics - turnover, time-to-fill, promotion readiness, performance trends - and use them to guide leader conversations, spot risks early, and shape workforce planning. Leadership Hiring - Support recruitment for frontline leadership roles - Keyholders, ASMs, and SMs. Guide hiring managers through structured, compliant, efficient selection, and make sure every hire brings the quality, leadership capability, and cultural fit the role demands.
