Strive Preparatory Schools
Manager of Human Resources (Immediate) (Finance)
Feedback is your friend. You know a lot, but you're hungry to learn more. You relish the opportunity to practice, receive feedback and practice some more. You're also great at giving feedback. You have clear and high expectations for yourself, your colleagues and students and you push those around you to get better with positive and specific praise as well as supportive and constructive criticism about everything from instructional practices to organizational skills to mindsets.
You are a people whisperer with a strong lens on DEI: You proactively build meaningful and authentic relationships with your schools' team members and central office colleagues and have a gift for creating inclusive spaces in every interaction. You instinctively balance empathy and accountability and are able to put team members at ease in their most vulnerable moments, especially when there are cultural differences and/or communication barriers. You value diverse perspectives, seek feedback to inform your work, and innately keep those on the margins top of mind, which contributes to an inclusive environment.
You KNOW and LOVE HR: You think, breathe, and eat HR. Your expertise shows up in your ability to quickly and effectively respond to the scope of responsibilities outlined in the Essential Functions section of this job posting. You are driven and agile, instinctively adapting your approach to fit the unique context of each of the schools in your portfolio.
Your customer service is legendary: You know and believe that HR is all about customer service and you keep the customer service experience of team members top of mind. Your time management is impeccable, and you take pride in your ability to ensure 100% follow through on every task and consistently meet deadlines. Knowing that HR isn't Monday-Friday, 9-5, you routinely make yourself available to team members through numerous communication methods, and are proactive in alerting others to any limitations to your availability.
