  • Proactively identify and mitigate HR-related risks, ensuring strategic alignment with business objectives and labor law requirements
  • Oversee HR reports and metrics by collecting, analyzing, and interpreting HR data to identify meaningful trends, patterns, and insights that lead to innovative recommendations and new solutions  
  • Support employees in the respective organizations and serve as the face of HR to these teams

The Team You'll Work With

There’s no task too small for our HRBPs at Carta, and they consistently seek opportunities to problem solve (we live in the gray area), and provide strategic and operational support to the leaders and functions they support. 

You will play a critical role in building the capabilities of Carta’s leaders. You’ll partner with business leadership, and broader People team to establish talent management strategies and solutions to achieve strategic initiatives and deliver results. You will work with Cartans across geographies, both learning about local working norms as well as pulling a thread of Carta culture and People initiatives throughout.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
