- Collaborate with the Talent Relations Manager and Talent Staffing Manager to align on training, policy enforcement, and personnel management.
- Address and resolve staffing conflicts or performance concerns directly and professionally.
- Partner with the Operations Department in weekly Logistics Alignment Meetings to confirm event schedules, van loads, and on-site needs.
- Ensure compliance with company policies and external regulations.
