HR Advisor
PTC
Our world is transforming, and PTC is leading the way. Our software brings the physical and digital worlds together, enabling companies to improve operations, create better products, and empower people in all aspects of their business.
Our people make all the difference in our success. Today, we are a global team of nearly 7,000 and our main objective is to create opportunities for our team members to explore, learn, and grow – all while seeing their ideas come to life and celebrating the differences that make us who we are and the work we do possible.
The PTC People Solutions organization consists of 4 regional People Solutions Teams (Americas, EMEA, India, and APAC) that provide both full-scope front line employee support within their assigned region, and a globally integrated level of support across all regions as needed.
Reporting to the Regional People Solutions Manager, with a broad range of HR knowledge and competencies, a People Solutions HR Advisor serves as the primary point of contact to assess, action, and/or resolve employee, manager, and People Team issues; in addition to managing defined workloads of varying low to high complexity as part of the HR service delivery model. HR Advisors are expected to draw upon a wide array of learned regulatory, policy, process, system, and people knowledges to deliver meaningful solutions with relative care, speed, and quality. Some individual and team workload quantities, complexities, and urgencies may fluctuate day-to-day, and week-to-week based on organizational cycles and environments; a People Solutions HR Advisor is capable of prioritizing, navigating, and actioning these fluctuations with adaptable agility to meet these varying and dynamic demands. Many HR Advisor core workloads are additionally consistent, straight-forward, and prescriptive on a generally ongoing basis – HR Advisors can transition hour-to-hour from managing standard straight-forward repeatable daily workloads of low urgency and complexity, to solving more high urgency, ambiguous issues that require thoughtful consideration, collaboration, and actioning. The role will be involved in supporting approximately 180 employees of PTC Japan. Therefore, close collaboration and coordination with the local HR team will be essential.
The APAC Region People Solutions team directly supports 800 employees and indirectly supports 7,000 global PTC employees in conjunction with the other regional People Solutions teams. The HR Advisor serves as the core competence for delivering the wide array of pre-defined HR services offered by the People Solutions organization and may additionally be assigned to unique and ill-defined activities and projects as an opportunity to stretch existing knowledge and experience in furtherance of ongoing capability development.
