Description

1. Business and Strategic Partnership:  All HR team members are expected to behave as leaders in the organization. A significant part of this leadership is to gain knowledge of our products, services, and customers and use that knowledge to help define how employees contribute and are rewarded for contributing, to the success of the organization. Additionally, HR leaders are expected to understand the financial aspects of operating the business and to be able to identify ways to improve efficiencies within and outside of the function. You will be expected to contribute to the operations of the organization.
2. Employee Advocate: Know the employees you work with and support. Knowledge of what motivates them to contribute and what drives their behaviors in the workplace is key to helping to create a workplace that fosters open communications, high productivity, and the ability to put the customer first. You will be expected to work with other leaders to identify and provide employee development opportunities, and organizational development advancements, develop communications plans and lead communications meetings, and put together problem-resolution programs.
3. Change Champion: Change at Frontier is constant. In recent years Frontier has made acquisitions that have nearly doubled the size of the company. We have changed how our technicians and call center employees interact with the customer to be more customer-centric, and we have introduced organizational changes that directly impact the customer experience. Knowledge and experience in leading disparate groups through change (both major and minor) are highly valued.

In this role, you will provide support and guidance to our Operations teams and will need to possess out-of-the-box thinking to provide solutions to sometimes complex issues. This position will require good communication skills and time management skills in order to prioritize work and meet sensitive deadlines.
