Your role:

The Strategic HR Business Partner (HRBP) is a trusted and thoughtful advisor to business leaders who integrates deep business acumen, sophisticated HR expertise, and data‑driven insights to shape organizational strategy through a people lens. Operating as a strategic consultant, the HRBP anticipates business challenges, diagnoses organizational needs, and co‑creates solutions that elevate talent, culture, and performance. This role transcends operational support —positioning HR as an architect of organizational capability and a strategic influencer who aligns people strategy with long‑term business priorities, while it’s still responsible to ensure execution of HR operations across the CASA region (Colombia, Chile, Panamá, Costa Rica, among others).

Your Responsibilities:

• Partner with leaders to align people strategy with business goals, interpreting trends and analyzing customer needs to drive sustainable results.
• Ensure flawless execution of core HR processes including onboarding, benefits, payroll inputs, and compliance with local labor laws across CASA countries.
• Orchestrate talent management, leadership development, and workforce planning while building an inclusive culture that promotes productivity and wellbeing.
• Diagnose organizational needs and provide pragmatic, forward-thinking guidance to stakeholders to solve complex business challenges.
• Analyze and communicate people data to derive actionable insights that inform decision-making and drive organizational performance.

What You Need to Succeed (minimum qualifications):

• Bachelor’s Degree with previous HR experience.
• A minimum of 6 years of experience as an HR Business Partner, preferably in complex, multi-country environments.
• Solid knowledge of labor legislation in CASA countries (Colombia, Chile, Panama, Costa Rica) and strong English communication skills.

What will give you a competitive edge (preferred qualifications):

• Experience supporting remote and field-based populations, such as sales teams.
• Proven expertise in Talent Management, Workforce Planning, and Employee Relations.
• Experience working within a global or matrix organization.
• Proficiency with Workday.
• Ability to balance a strategic mindset with hands-on operational execution.
