<p>We are looking for a senior people leader who can think enterprise-first, influence at the VP level, and drive meaningful outcomes across complex, multi-layered organizations. This leader will bring a sharp consultative approach, a data-driven mindset, and the instincts to know when to push, when to coach, and when to escalate. They’ll champion an inclusive culture, lead through ambiguity, and elevate the capability of every leader they touch.</p>
