Checkr highly leverages AI, and we're actively working to embed it into how we work across the People team and the entire business. We're looking for someone who's comfortable championing that shift within their client group, has personally used or built AI-driven solutions to improve HR processes or business outcomes, and is excited to bring that mindset to how Legal, People, and Finance operate. You will bring deep HR expertise, sound business judgment, and the ability to navigate ambiguity and influence outcomes at the leadership level.

This is an opportunity to influence the HR strategy for a critical, cross-functional client group and to be a key voice in how Checkr scales its People, Legal, and Finance organizations.

What You'll Do:

• Serve as a strategic advisor and trusted partner to Legal, People, and Finance leaders, providing counsel on org design, workforce planning, and talent strategy aligned to business priorities.

• Lead complex performance management situations, including coaching senior leaders through performance improvement plans, difficult conversations, and high-risk terminations, partnering closely with Legal as needed.
