The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  Universal Studios is hiring a Senior HR Manager in Jackson, MS.

• Role description

  The Senior HR Manager job in Jackson is simple to describe and hard to do: find the leak, size it, and tell us how to plug it. This Jackson opening trades 6 years and Workforce Planning for $67,000 - $104,000, then layers on the ownership most listings only hint at.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Defend the budget line by line when Jackson finance comes knocking
  • Keep the manager leadership deck honest, current, and free of vanity charts
  • Set the maker-minded operational standards that keep Universal Studios running smoothly
  • Run the numbers on build-versus-buy before Universal Studios signs anything
  • Hold a forecast review where people actually change their minds
  • Stress-test the forecast against the MS scenario nobody wants
  • Negotiate partnerships that open new revenue channels

  What You'll Bring

  • Equal parts Cultural Awareness depth and Talent Acquisition curiosity
  • Comfort with an Universal Studios pace that rarely sits still
  • Comfort presenting to a MS-wide audience without a script
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills
  • Proven track record delivering results as a Senior HR Manager
  • At least 7 years of standing behind your own estimates
  • Around 6+ years of hands-on experience in a business role

  From our Jackson, MS office, Universal Studios ships client-centric products used by companies large and small. We'd rather coach a forward-thinking learner than babysit a brilliant jerk, every single time.

  Confirmed active this hour for the Jackson, MS crew, no waiting list.
