This includes implementing programs, processes, and tools that will enable Cartans for success
- Influence others to drive and execute successful delivery of all HR programs including performance management, employee voice surveys, and compensation reviews

- Navigate people and organization puzzles and processes using high judgment, operational thinking, and effective communication through an inclusive lens
- Proactively identify and mitigate HR-related risks, ensuring strategic alignment with business objectives and labor law requirements
- Oversee HR reports and metrics by collecting, analyzing, and interpreting HR data to identify meaningful trends, patterns, and insights that lead to innovative recommendations and new solutions
- Support employees in the respective organizations and serve as the face of HR to these teams
The Team You'll Work With

You will play a critical role in building the capabilities of Carta's leaders. You'll partner with business leadership, and broader People team to establish talent management strategies and solutions to achieve strategic initiatives and deliver results.
