• Drive transformative people programs such as performance management, engagement and workforce planning strategies that align with Xometry’s high-performance culture and growth trajectory.
• Manage complex employee relations, ensuring a consistent, high-performance culture while mitigating risk and maintaining high standards of integrity.
• Enable a global-to-local HR framework, partnering closely with regional and local HR partners in the U.S., Germany, India, Turkey and China to ensure global initiatives are seamlessly integrated, compliant, and culturally relevant. 
• Partner with Talent Acquisition to build robust pipelines in key emerging and low-cost delivery markets, optimizing internal mobility and global talent deployment strategies.
