Bilingual HR Business Partner

<p>The Bilingual HR Business Partner serves as the on-site HR presence at the plant, embedded in daily operations while remaining firmly connected to the People Operations team at HQ. This role brings independent judgment and proactive problem-solving to the full employee lifecycle — and is trusted to operate with autonomy in executing the work. At the same time, this person understands that consistency across the organization matters: changes to programs, policies, or practices are developed collaboratively and approved through the People Ops team before implementation. The ideal candidate is a confident, credible HR professional who can hold their own with plant leadership, serve as a thought partner to the Plant Director, and bring value to both the site and the broader organization — while staying anchored to the team they're part of.</p> <p>This role is best suited for someone who is comfortable being the only HR person in the building — and who thrives in that environment rather than feeling isolated by it. You'll have real autonomy to manage the day-to-day and you'll be expected to bring your perspective to the table with the Plant Director. At the same time, you're someone who recognizes that being part of a People Ops team means your work doesn't exist in a vacuum. Changes get run up the chain — not because you're not trusted, but because consistency across the org matters and better ideas come from collaboration. If you're looking for a role where you can own your function, grow within a team, and make a visible impact at both the plant and organizational level, this is it.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <div class="reporting-row"> <div class="reporting-row-content"> <div class="reporting-row-label">Reports to</div> <div class="reporting-row-value">Director of People Operations (HQ)</div> <div class="reporting-row-note">All performance management, goal-setting, and career development are owned by the Director of People Operations.
