PEOPLE BUSINESS PARTNER
- Eugene, OR | Portland, OR — Two Positions Available
- Lead with curiosity. Go beyond the expected. Bring out the best in others.
- Team JCK is a growing, multi-brand restaurant organization looking for two experienced People Business Partners who can think independently, solve complex problems, and help operational leaders make better decisions.
- This isn't an HR desk job.
- You'll partner directly with regional and restaurant leaders, identify workforce challenges, investigate employee concerns, and turn data and facts into practical solutions.
What you'll own
- Leadership Partnership: Coach leaders, challenge assumptions, and strengthen accountability.
- Employee Relations: Conduct investigations, assess risk, interpret employment law, and recommend sound resolutions.
- People Strategy: Analyze turnover, retention, and engagement trends to identify problems and drive measurable improvements.
- Continuous Improvement: Identify gaps in processes, communication, and leadership practices. Recommend solutions and coordinate improvements across departments.
- Employee Experience: Partner with Operations to strengthen onboarding, development, and retention.
What we're looking for
- 6+ years of progressive HR experience, including substantial employee relations and investigation experience.
- Strong working knowledge of federal, Oregon, and Washington employment law.
- Analytical skills and proficiency with Excel, HRIS reporting, and workforce data.
- Independent judgment, intellectual curiosity, and the confidence to ask difficult questions.
- Ability to influence leaders through facts, credibility, and practical recommendations.
- Multi-unit restaurant, retail, or hospitality experience preferred.
- SHRM/HRCI certification and bilingual English/Spanish skills are a plus.
What you can expect
- Meaningful autonomy. Direct access to operational leadership. Clear accountability. An experienced People Operations team that values expertise, collaboration, and results.
- We're a people-first organization built around Leadership, Service, Teamwork, Kindness, and Fun. We expect sound judgment, direct communication, and accountability without losing compassion.
- The logistics: Two regional, field-based positions — one in Eugene and one in Portland — with approximately 50–75% regional travel.
- If you prefer solving problems over talking about them, we'd like to meet you.
