Job Description

The New York Times is seeking an HRBP to support employees and leaders in the newsroom across our Lifestyle and Culture desks, as well as our magazines. Reporting to the director of HRBPs, this role will be responsible for providing guidance and solutions to client groups on people related matters. While this person will support the day to day needs of employees on the Culture and Lifestyle desks and the magazines, they will be joining a team that supports the newsroom as a whole.

The HRBP plays a critical role in driving a people strategy aligned with the Company’s business objectives, mission and values. With pragmatism and an ability to nimbly work through ambiguity, the HRBP provides day-to-day HR support for the leaders, managers and employees of client group(s), including guidance and coaching, management of the performance enablement cycle, and oversight of process/HR administration. Working with HR Leadership Team (HRLT) members, HRBP and Center of Excellence (COE)/Subject Matter Expert (SME) peers, and client group leadership, the HRBP helps to develop and execute key people initiatives within their client group(s), ensuring everyone has the same understanding of what success looks like. Acting as a trusted advisor and thought partner to client group leadership – and providing insights and perspective to HR and company leadership – the HRBP proactively identifies issues and opportunities impacting the business, and offers practical ways to address them. The HRBP uses every interaction to role model the Company’s values and behaviors, and takes advantage of every type of activity (even those that are administrative/transactional) to drive change and ensure an equitable and inclusive culture.

You will work closely with the rest of the HRBP team, and the greater HR department, to build organizational capabilities, behaviors, and structures that support an evolving digital first strategy. You will be a strong partner and liaison between Culture and Lifestyle desks and the magazines and members of the HR team, and are able to deliver services that support the overarching strategy. With a keen ability to navigate the organization and collaborate effectively in a fast paced environment, you will coach and guide managers and employees on talent management, employee and labor relations, compensation, performance, team effectiveness, learning and development, and other related initiatives. If you are passionate about building a high performance work environment at The Times, we’d like to hear from you!
