Human Resources Leader at Stand Together

Stand Together is a philanthropic community that helps America's boldest changemakers tackle the root causes of our country's biggest problems, from education to the economy, broken communities, and toxic division, among dozens of other pressing issues. We provide our partners with access to resources including funding, thought leadership, a network of peers, and a playbook for applying proven principles to transform lives and society.

As a Human Resources Leader (HRL), you will serve as a key business partner to stakeholders, supervisors, and leaders across the organization who rely on your counsel. These partnerships, paired with your deep understanding of the skills, principles and values necessary for success, position you to foster a culture where all employees are growing their contributions and driving outcomes toward the organization's strategic goals.

To be successful in this role, you will have a deep passion for empowering employees through principles rather than imposing rules, and you will have a track record of building strategic relationships to shape a winning talent position.

• Ensure team members are meaningfully connected to the vision and strategy of their business in partnership with supervisors and leaders.
