HR Business Partner

Overview

Epic Kids is in an exciting phase of growth following our integration with TAL Education Group. As we scale rapidly across teams and geographies, we are looking for a proactive and high‑ownership HR Business Partner who can support both the day‑to‑day people needs of our teams and contribute to building foundational people programs.
