Senior HR Business Partner - Support Services for Woodinville

At BDA, HR Business Partners are expected to operate as business partners first and HR leaders second. The role is not only focused on administering HR programs. It is focused on helping leaders build organizations capable of achieving business objectives.

As the Human Resources Business Partner supporting our rapidly growing operations teams, you will serve as the primary HR partner. These teams operate in fast-paced, entrepreneurial environments where business priorities, organizational needs, and client demands evolve quickly.

Success in this role requires developing a deep understanding of the businesses you support including their strategic objectives, financial performance, organizational structures, talent needs, compensation frameworks, and operational challenges. You will be expected to understand how each business creates value, where it is headed, and what organizational capabilities are required to achieve its goals, then work to support these activities.

As a member of the leadership team supporting these organizations, you will participate in business discussions and decision making as a trusted advisor. The role requires the ability to influence leaders, challenge thinking when necessary, and help navigate organizational decisions through both a business and people lens. You will be expected to understand and leverage BDA's performance culture, including WIGs, Performance Scorecards, compensation and incentive frameworks, and leadership expectations.

A significant portion of the role centers on talent and organizational strategy. Working closely with business leaders, you will evaluate cross functional organizational effectiveness, identify capability gaps, assess talent, develop succession strategies, and help ensure the business has the leadership and talent necessary to achieve its objectives. You will partner with Talent Acquisition, Learning & Development, Compensation & Benefits, and other HR functions to attract, develop, reward, and retain high-performing employees while building organizational capability for the future.

The role also plays a key part in organizational change, leadership transitions, acquisition integration, and other strategic initiatives that support BDA's continued growth. Success will be measured not by HR activity, but by the strength of leadership teams, organizational effectiveness, talent outcomes, employee performance, and the overall success of the businesses you support.

The ideal candidate is operations minded, comfortable working with senior leaders, and capable of translating business strategy into practical people solutions. This individual

brings strong business acumen, sound judgment, executive presence, and the ability to influence outcomes in a fast-moving, performance-driven environment.

BDA requires employees to work from a company office 4-days per week, with one day work from home, and on occasion travel to other BDA locations as business needs require.
