Trust is the foundation to being Earth’s Most Customer- Centric company and Best Employer. In this role, you have an opportunity to influence both!

In this role, the leader will influence across business, tech, science, and operational teams, building partnerships with leaders, global peers, and the broader SPS People eXperience & Tech (PXT) team.

A day in the life
Are any two days the same for an HR professional these days?! But there are a few things that you can count on: an inclusive team, a safe space to learn and question, and partnership with leaders who care about people and their experiences, not just numbers and goal targets.

Each day will likely bring a mix of opportunities we know how to approach and others that will require deeper collaboration, inspection, planning and creativity. But we do this as a team and one that wins together- having fun and staying curious along the way.
