Role Overview...

Centerfield is looking for an energetic, resourceful HR Partner to join our People team in our Playa Vista headquarters.

In this role, you will act as a core operational engine and trusted partner for Managers and Sr. Managers across our corporate teams. From front-line manager coaching, performance guidance, and employee relations to immigration case management, talent acquisition support, and high-impact ad hoc people initiatives, no two days will look the same. If you are naturally curious, love solving ambiguous problems, and thrive as the go-to person for all things HR, this is the role for you.
