People Partner

At Mercury we care a lot about our people. A thoughtful People team is a key part of attracting and taking care of our team. We are looking for someone who can build out and scale our People Partner team. 

The person who fills this role will help drive people and business initiatives across the company. This role is both hands-on and strategic, and provides expertise in the areas of employee relations, performance management, compensation, employee retention, coaching and development, conflict management, and will also take on ad hoc projects as necessary.

Here are some things you’ll do on the job:

• Understand the business as a whole and act as a strategic thought partner to managers and leaders across the organization
• Partner with and advise leaders and managers on all things people-related, such as performance management & coaching, employee relations, leveling processes and organizational development
• Partner effectively with People Partners and centers of excellence such as Learning & Development, Compensation, Recruiting, Talent Management and Benefits
• Work with the People team to drive key talent processes for your client groups, such as annual performance reviews, talent planning, and compensation cycles
• Proactively identify opportunities and assess improvements to the employee experience, and partner with the HR team to develop and implement lasting solutions
• Ensure employee inquiries are answered and/or properly routed in a timely manner
• Analyze various types of employee data (survey data, performance reviews, compensation data) to identify trends across Mercury and recommend solutions to improve performance and engagement

Ideally, you’ll have some of the following qualities—but if you don’t fit this mold and feel like you could do a great job, we’d love to hear from you anyway:

• 2-5 years of direct experience in the HR field, OR, have a master’s degree in HR (MILR, MHRM, etc)
• Maintain a high degree of professionalism - can interface with all levels of the organization as a primary point of contact for the team
• Be willing to influence and advocate for philosophies you believe in
• Be passionate about tackling problems and solving them in a creative and thoughtful way 
• Have a high level of integrity and the ability to handle confidential information discreetly
• Have a ton of fun while doing everything above
