Human Resources Business Partner

Overview

Join Focus Partners Wealth as an engaging and dynamic HR Business Partner to be a pivotal part of our growth! You will champion our HR efforts by developing and implementing our programs and partnering with our leaders to help us achieve our business priorities and foster an empowering and fulfilling place to work. The HRBP will collaborate closely with leaders and associates to ensure they have the resources and support to be successful including talent development, associate relations, team planning and performance management.

Your program development and associate support will ensure we are able to attract and retain top talent and uphold our collaborative and service-oriented culture.

Our firm has grown exponentially, and we have shifted Human Resources over the last year to create HR Centers of Excellence (Benefits, Talent Acquisition, Learning and Development, Total Rewards and HR Operations) to be experts and leaders of those areas. As a Senior HRBP, you will be able to partner with those centers, but not responsible for the day-to-day of those functions.

This gives you more time to work on initiatives and partner with leaders and associates.

Although we were founded over 30 years ago, we are building a new HR team for the future. We have over 2000 associates across the country that need our support and leadership. This is a great opportunity to help us evolve our partnerships with leaders and structure as we grow and leave your mark on the people here at FPW.
