  • Measure workforce trends and intellectual capital to provide strategic recommendations to leadership.
  • Prepare executive briefings, meeting materials, and status updates while tracking action items and organizational priorities.
  • Coordinate meetings and provide administrative support for Human Capital Office initiatives.
  • Assist in developing and maintaining content for ONR Human Capital communication platforms, including iConnect and other multimedia resources.
  • Collaborate with leadership and stakeholders across the organization to support strategic workforce initiatives and organizational objectives.

Your background will include. 

  • Must be eligible to obtain and maintain a Public Trust.
  • Bachelor's degree in Human Resource Management, Labor Relations, or another relevant academic discipline.
  • Minimum of eight (8) years of Human Capital analysis and support experience.
  • Strong analytical, organizational, and communication skills.
  • Ability to work independently and manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
  • Experience analyzing operational policies, procedures, and processes and recommending improvements.
