Ilir Sela started Slice with the belief that local pizzerias deserve all of the advantages of major franchises without compromising their independence. Starting with his family’s pizzerias, we now empower over tens of thousands of restaurants with the technology, services, and collective power that owners need to better serve their digitally minded customers and build lasting businesses. We’re growing and adding more talent to help fulfil this valuable mission. That’s where you come in.
The Opportunity
Lead the charge in uniting global teams by developing strategic people solutions aligned with business objectives across multiple geographies, while strengthening Slice as a place where culture and community can thrive.
The Role
We’re looking for a dynamic and strategic leader to join us as the Global Head of People Partners (VP), a pivotal role at the heart of our growth and culture. Leading a globally distributed team of HR Business Partners, this person will be both a strategist and a doer: a trusted advisor and change agent who brings data-driven insights to the most important part of our business - our people. You’ll be a key architect of high impact people strategies and programs that fuel performance and engagement. While you think big and lead boldly, you’ll also love rolling up your sleeves and getting into the details. This leader will contribute beyond their remit, providing broad perspective, leadership and input on all people-related matters from strategy to tactics. If you’re passionate about building world-class teams, we’d love to meet you!
You’ll also:
- Be an extension of the business, working closely with leaders to understand business needs, translating that into a people plan, and providing HR guidance that informs key decisions.
- Drive parts of the People agenda, developing and executing people strategies to complement or enhance existing programs focused on onboarding, performance management, employee relations, learning, total rewards, and culture.
- Develop and empower senior and middle managers with the tools and capabilities to directly manage People needs and challenges within their teams and organizations.
- Collaborate with other People leaders and members of the People team to deliver best-in-class, end-to-end experiences for our business partners and Slice employees.
- Regularly share best practices across the global People team to ensure alignment across our approaches.
