About The Position

Mammoth Brands is seeking a Senior People Business Partner to join their People Team, specifically supporting the Mammoth Care business unit. This role is crucial for connecting business strategy with talent, team, and organizational priorities. The Senior People Business Partner will act as a strategic advisor to senior leaders, operating with autonomy to shape decisions and identify people-related implications of business strategies. The position involves coaching managers, managing complex employee relations issues, contributing to organizational design and workforce planning, and driving engagement and retention strategies. The role also emphasizes leveraging data and AI to improve People processes and contribute to a strong company culture. The ideal candidate is comfortable with ambiguity, possesses strong business acumen, is data and tech-fluent, resilient, and a lifelong learner with a sense of humor.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in HR business partnering or a similar strategic People role, ideally supporting senior leaders through growth and change.
• Comfortable in the Gray: Energized by ambiguity. Can hold two competing truths at once, weigh what’s fair against what’s practical, and make a decision with conviction while staying open to being wrong.
• A Coach to Senior Leaders: Builds trust quickly at every level, and is at their best guiding VPs and executives. Asks the question no one else will, and is direct and kind in the same breath.
• Business Savvy: Quickly develops a deep understanding of business strategy and how the company makes money. Translates strategy into people architecture: the structure, talent, and culture the business needs to deliver its plans.
• Data and Tech Fluent: Comfortable in a spreadsheet as in a hard conversation. Can work with headcount and workforce data, find the story in it, and use it to shape decisions. Dives into AI, experimenting, building, and teaching others what works.
• Steady Through Change: Reorgs, departures, and surprise pivots don’t rattle them. Highly resilient, refocuses fast when there’s a hiccup, and helps others reset. People take their cue from their calm.
• A Lifelong Learner: Curious, not afraid to say “I don’t know,” and turns what they learn into better processes.
• Someone Who Can Laugh: Takes work seriously, but doesn’t take themselves too seriously. Knows humor and humanity make them better at the job, and drives real impact without the ego.

Nice To Haves

• CPG, retail, or a matrixed environment experience is a plus, but not required.
