This is a highly visible, hands-on HRBP role for an experienced HR professional who thrives as a trusted advisor—someone who can coach leaders, navigate complex employee relations matters, support workforce planning, and help drive organizational change.

As a Senior HR Business Partner, you will:

• Partner with leaders to align HR strategies with business goals.
• Provide expert guidance on employee relations, workplace investigations, performance management, corrective actions, and conflict resolution.
• Coach managers through complex people issues while ensuring compliance with employment laws and company policies.
• Support workforce planning, succession planning, retention initiatives, and organizational effectiveness.
• Lead and support change management initiatives and HR process improvements.
• Facilitate leadership trainings, presentations, and HR discussions.
• Collaborate with Talent Acquisition, Operations, Compliance, and HR teams to deliver effective people solutions.

We're looking for someone who can build trust, influence leaders, and balance employee advocacy with business priorities. The ideal candidate is strategic, practical, and comfortable working in a fast-paced, evolving environment.

• Bachelor's degree in Human Resources, Business, Psychology, Organizational Development, or related field preferred.
• 7+ years of progressive HR experience.
• Recent experience as an HR Business Partner, HR Manager, Senior HR Generalist, or similar leader-facing HR role.
• Strong employee relations experience, including investigations, performance management, coaching, and conflict resolution.
• Knowledge of employment laws including FMLA, ADA, FLSA, workplace investigations, and HR compliance.
• Excellent communication, relationship-building, and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to facilitate presentations, trainings, and leader discussions.

• Experience supporting healthcare, nonprofit, multi-site, or other regulated organizations.
• Workforce planning, succession planning, organizational design, or change management experience.
• SHRM-CP, SHRM-SCP, PHR, or SPHR certification.

Healthcare experience is preferred but not required. Candidates from other complex, multi-site organizations with strong HRBP experience are encouraged to apply.

Successful candidates will:

• Build strong relationships with leaders and employees.
• Provide thoughtful, practical HR guidance.
• Handle sensitive employee relations matters with sound judgment.
• Influence leaders through credibility and partnership.
• Support organizational change with confidence and empathy.
• Connect people strategies to business outcomes.

At Legacy Community Health, you'll join an HR team evolving into a more strategic, consultative partner for the organization. This is an opportunity to make a meaningful impact while supporting leaders in delivering exceptional care to our communities.
