Type: Regular Full-Time
System Office 1120 Building

Overview

This is a hybrid role that is highly consultative and requires regular meetings at a variety of Legacy locations across the Portland Metro area (including Vancouver, WA and Silverton, OR). On days that onsite activity is not required, individuals in this role may work from remotely.

All new hires are required to come to a designated Legacy Health office location in Portland, Oregon prior to their start date for a new hire health assessment and to complete new employee orientation.

Making life better for people. Bringing good health to all. These are a few of the beliefs that form the foundation of our mission at Legacy Health. When you’re one of the largest employers and health care providers in the Portland and Southwest Washington areas, that mission should inform everything you do. That’s why people trust us with their lives and livelihoods. That also means the people who work at Legacy embrace this common mission and purpose. Our work is a job, yes, but it’s more than a job, too. As a people strategy partner, you work within the nerve center of conducting this mission. You’ll work closely with senior leaders to support our talent across the organization, so they in turn, can support our communities with good health.

As a Legacy Health People Strategy Partner, you will be a trusted advisor and thought partner to the organization’s senior leaders and executives to ensure the organization’s People & Culture strategy works to meet the unique needs of the business. You will be responsible to steward and support integrated, innovative and inclusive workforce solutions. Your role within the People & Culture division will be to provide business insight and perspective to teams across the division, in service of designing competitive and inclusive practices, processes and policies that support the organization’s priorities and the needs of a high performing diverse workforce.

People Strategy Partners (PSPs) are assigned to entity or division executives (senior vice presidents, presidents, or vice presidents) and are responsible to steward and support integrated, innovative and inclusive workforce solutions. They provide business insight and perspective to teams across People & Culture, in service of designing competitive practices, processes and policies that support the organization’s priorities and the needs of a diverse workforce. They are a trusted advisor to their assigned executive(s) on matters relating to workforce engagement, talent planning and deployment of broad and inclusive People & Culture solutions. PSPs are embedded in their assigned entity or division so they can provide an accurate representation of the business needs and imperatives directly to People & Culture leaders and subject matter experts.

While the responsibilities of the job are to ensure an innovative and sustainable talent strategy comes to life, of equal importance are the qualities we’re looking for in this essential role. It’s about recognizing the talent in people, relating to diverse stakeholders at all levels of the organization, a willingness to be an independent thinker, partnering with and coaching executives, and communicating both simple and complicated ideas across the organization. This role draws upon a combination of business savvy, emotional intelligence and talent strategy in equal measure.

Another important thing about Legacy: We strive to be a diverse, culturally responsive, anti-racist organization. Diversity, equity and inclusion is a priority at Legacy — it shapes how we work, interact with one another and see the world. This is a commitment you must share too.
