ABOUT THE ROLE

Are you a people-first HR professional who thrives on building trust, solving tough problems, and helping organizations run at their best? We're looking for a Senior HR Business Partner to join our close-knit Human Resources team as a trusted, hands-on partner to our Vice President of Human Resources.

In this role, you'll work with us onsite to own the day-to-day work of employee relations, policy and handbook administration, and professional development across the Wesley companies. The ideal candidate is a confident, level-headed problem-solver who navigates sensitive employee matters with empathy and discretion — and who genuinely enjoys bringing structure, consistency, and heart to the processes that keep our teams thriving.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Employee Relations

• Be a go-to resource for employee relations matters — fielding questions, addressing concerns, resolving conflicts, and handling complaints with care and professionalism.
• Conduct and document thorough workplace investigations with fairness, consistency, and discretion, partnering with the VP of Human Resources and General Counsel as needed.
• Advise and coach managers on performance concerns, disciplinary actions, and corrective action plans — helping leaders grow alongside their teams.
• Support performance management processes, including reviews, development conversations, and documentation.
• Foster a positive, fair, and compliant workplace culture that reflects Wesley's values across every team and location.

Professional Development & Talent Growth

• Play an active role in developing others — partnering with managers to assess skill gaps, build on strengths, and create meaningful opportunities for learning, stretch assignments, and advancement.
• Help assess training needs and source, coordinate, or facilitate development programs, from onboarding and new-manager training to skills-based and leadership development.
• Champion a culture of continuous learning across the Wesley companies, inspiring managers to invest in the growth of their teams.
• Provide leadership to ensure the ongoing success of Wesley's Pillars Program (our L&D framework).

Policy & Handbook Administration

• Own the maintenance and regular update of the employee handbook across the Wesley companies — keeping it clear, current, and compliant.
• Develop, implement, and maintain HR policies and procedures that support legal compliance and operational consistency.
• Stay ahead of federal, state, and local employment law changes — including multi-state considerations across Tennessee and Nevada — and update policies and practices accordingly.
• Communicate policy changes clearly to employees and managers, and provide related guidance and training so nothing gets lost in translation.

HR Operations & Culture

• Manage the shared HR inbox with timely, professional responses, creating and maintaining templates that make the team more efficient.
• Champion and help strengthen Wesley's company culture, partnering with leadership to support employee engagement, recognition, and a positive, values-driven work environment.
• Help plan and coordinate company-wide events and engagement activities — like monthly celebrations and employee appreciation — that connect both remote and in-office team members.
• Serve as backup for benefits administration, supporting enrollments, changes, and terminations across medical, dental, vision, 401(k), and other plans.
• Take on additional related projects and duties as they come up — because in a collaborative HR team, we all pitch in.

WHAT YOU BRING

• Strong knowledge of employee relations practices and workplace investigation techniques.
• Solid command of federal and state employment law, including FMLA, ADA, FLSA, and Title VII; multi-state experience (TN/NV) is a plus.
• Working knowledge of HRIS data management.
• Exceptional verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to handle sensitive conversations with empathy and professionalism.
• Sound judgment, discretion, and an unwavering commitment to confidentiality.
• Strong interpersonal and coaching skills, with the ability to build trust with employees and managers at all levels.
• Excellent organizational skills, attention to detail, and the ability to juggle competing priorities without missing a beat.
• Proficiency in ADP Workforce Now (or a similar HRIS) and Microsoft Office Suite and/or Google Workspace.
• The ability to work both independently and collaboratively within a close-knit HR team — and to enjoy doing both.

EDUCATION & EXPERIENCE

• Bachelor's degree in Human Resources, Business Administration, or a related field preferred.
• 7+ years of progressive human resources experience required, with demonstrated depth in employee relations and professional development.
• Current HR certification preferred: PHR, SPHR, SHRM-CP, or SHRM-SCP.
• Experience with ADP Workforce Now or a comparable HRIS required.
