Position Description

Origis is seeking an experienced HR Business Partner to serve as our Director, Talent Engagement. In this high-impact role, you'll be a trusted advisor, employee advocate, and strategic thought partner to our Managing Director of Talent & Culture and leaders across the organization.

This is an autonomous, individual-contributor role with a true player-coach feel: you'll help shape people strategy while also supporting day-to-day needs. You bring firsthand experience supporting field-based teams—and you know how to advocate for their needs from an office setting, with thoughtful, intentional time in the field as needed.

Key Responsibilities

• Serve as a trusted advisor to senior leaders on people strategy, organizational design, workforce planning, and talent priorities.
• Translate business goals into practical people plans that strengthen engagement, retention, and team effectiveness.
• Administer end-to-end member benefit and leave plans, ensuring full regulatory compliance, while acting as the senior escalation point for complex reward and accommodation inquiries.
• Own the new hire experience, including coordinating onboarding activities, facilitating new hire orientation, ensuring completion of required documentation and training, and partnering with leaders to support successful integration and early employee engagement.
• Support the development, implementation and maintenance of competitive compensation programs aligned with company goals by conducting regular benchmarking, job evaluations, and market analysis.
• Own employee relations for assigned groups, including performance concerns, workplace conflict, disciplinary action, and involuntary separations.
• Lead fair, thorough investigations; maintain clear documentation; identify trends; and partner with legal counsel as needed.
• Coach and equip managers to build strong, consistent people leadership practices.
• Support the full talent lifecycle, including onboarding, performance management, succession planning, development planning, and offboarding.
• Ensure consistent application of HR policies and practices; contribute to improving programs, processes, and tools.
• Stay current on employment law and advise on compliance, accommodations, leave, and compensation-related processes as needed.

Required Qualifications

• 10+ years of progressive HR experience, including significant HR Business Partner experience.
• Experience in compensation, benefits and total rewards required
• Deep employee relations expertise, including investigations and complex ER case management.
• Proven ability to advise senior leaders with credibility, candor, discretion, and strong business acumen.
• Experience supporting multi-state operations and familiarity with employment law, particularly in Texas and California.
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills across all levels of the organization.
• Bachelor's degree in Human Resources, Business Administration, or related field (or equivalent professional experience).

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in the renewable energy sector (solar, wind, battery storage, or related) is strongly preferred.
• Experience supporting a workforce in a scaling company (100–500 employees).
• Proficiency in Excel and familiarity with HRIS platforms and comfort with people analytics.

Key Attributes for Success

You'll do your best work here if you are:

• A builder, not just a maintainer—you see gaps and create solutions.
• Comfortable in transformation—bringing a turnaround mindset, steady judgment, and forward momentum through change.
