from this employer's Department of Labor filings
Files H-1B transfers
5 transfer filings in the last year, covering 5 workers. Median labor-condition decision: 7 days. An employer that already files transfers is one that can take over an existing H-1B.
Sourced from Department of Labor LCA, PERM and prevailing-wage disclosure data. Employer matching is by name, so figures may be split across an employer's legal entities. Absence of a filing means none appears in our copy of the data, not that none exists.

About the role
- You are the bridge between our business and our People strategy - and you are far more than a resource the business calls when something goes wrong.
- This role requires someone who is equally invested in the success of their client groups and the success of the People team itself.
- You will operate in an environment that is still being built.
Responsibilities

- Build deep, trusted, long-term relationships with business unit leaders and their teams.
- Organizational & Talent Development: Partner with leaders to build high-performing, engaged teams. Drive org design, succession planning, performance management, and leadership development with rigor and intentionality.
- Change Leadership: Champion people-related transformation initiatives. Communicate change with clarity and conviction, build alignment across stakeholders, and help leaders bring their teams through transitions effectively.
- People Team Investment: Actively contribute to the strength, culture, and continuous improvement of the People team itself. Share knowledge, collaborate across COEs, and show up as a champion for the function - not just your portfolio.
- Program Execution: Drive the end-to-end execution of People programs across your client groups - performance cycles, engagement actions, compensation planning, and more - with precision and follow-through.
- Develop a thorough understanding of each client group's business model, goals, and pressures.

- You coach leaders and employees toward higher engagement and performance - which means you have to model it every single day.
- Education: BS/BA degree or equivalent professional experience.
- Strategic Influence: Demonstrated ability to build trusted advisory relationships with senior and C-suite leaders - not just execute requests but shape thinking.
- Business Fluency: Ability to learn a business quickly, connect People initiatives to business outcomes, and speak the language of the leaders you support.
- ER Expertise: Sound judgment and experience handling complex employee relations situations with care, consistency, and appropriate urgency.
- Communication: Exceptional written and verbal communication - clear, direct, and compelling across audiences from ICs to executives.
- Organizational Agility: Comfortable managing a broad portfolio of priorities in a fast-moving environment without losing precision or follow-through.
- Resilience: Able to absorb feedback, adapt quickly, and maintain composure and positivity when things don't go as planned - because sometimes they won't.
- Drive to Make Others Successful: You measure your own success by how much better the people and teams around you are performing. Seeing others grow, succeed, and thrive because of your partnership is what fuels you.
