The opportunity

The market shifts weekly, and Anthem wants a VP of HR calm enough to tell signal from noise before the meeting starts. What makes this Anthem role different is the ownership; the $156,000 - $229,000 and contract hours are just the entry fee.

Key Responsibilities

  • Chase down why margin slipped and come back with a fix, not a theory
  • Draft the business case that gets a feedback-driven initiative funded past committee
  • Find the design-led lever that moves the metric leadership cares about most
  • Carry the no-ego idea through the gauntlet of finance, legal, and ops
  • Flag the assumption in the plan that everything else quietly rests on
  • Establish reporting cadences that give stakeholders timely visibility
  • Keep Anthem from optimizing a number that doesn't pay rent
  • Hold a forecast review where people actually change their minds

What You'll Bring

  • Strong working knowledge of SHRM-CP and Employee Relations
  • Fluency in People Analytics earned the hard way, not just from a tutorial
  • Ability to thrive both independently and as part of a tight-knit team
  • A writer's ear for tone in a high-stakes email
  • Vp fluency in BambooHR, with Cross-Functional Collaboration on your roadmap
  • A growth mindset that treats feedback as fuel, not threat

Founded in Missoula, MT during a downturn, Anthem grew customer-obsessed and lean while flashier business rivals burned out. Ownership runs deep here: you'll own outcomes, not just tasks, from your first week as a VP of HR.

Open with $156,000 - $229,000, grow your People Analytics under a mentor, lean on full benefits, and flex your hours the way grown-ups should.
