What's in It for You

High impact role -- as a "right hand" to corporate HR leaders, you will have the opportunity to  shine as a key member of the HR department. Also, you will be physically located on the same floor as all of our top execs, and will work with their Administrative Assistants, so your efforts and can-do attitude won't go unnoticed.

Collaborative environment -- in a busy HR organization like ours, we find collaboration to be a key to our success. We'll empower you to find your way to good solutions, but we'll also rely on you to share ideas, strategize together, push back, give and receive feedback freely, and always keep each other informed.

Value-driven growth -- our senior leadership recently unveiled a plan for FMC to double in size by 2015 (known as Vision 2015) and we have a number of corporate-wide initiatives under way to drive that growth. It is not just where we do business but how we do business that matters, and FMC is committed to a set of core values that sets a global standard for employee and process safety, environmental stewardship and sustainability.
 
Stability and innovation -- FMC offers a stable profile: we've been in business 127 years; our company is diversified across agricultural, industrial, and specialty chemicals; and we're active in markets across the globe. However, committed to innovation, we're continuously trying new ideas and exploring new markets.
 
Great location -- our headquarters are located in BNY Mellon Center, which is just above Penn Center Suburban Station, ideal for those commuting from outside the city. Another convenience between the station and our offices is the underground Penn Center shopping concourse.
 
Excellent compensation -- in addition to a competitive salary, we offer comprehensive benefits that include all you would expect plus some pleasant surprises, such as retirement savings and 401(k) plans, flexible spending accounts, and more. Benefits packages go into effect on the date you start.

Keys to Success

The HR leaders you'll support "wear many hats," and you'll need to be highly organized and able to handle a high volume of activity. In many ways you will be the conduit to connect internal and external contacts to the right person in HR to answer questions. At the same time, we're looking for an individual with a real thirst for mastering knowledge about our corporation and the HR department, so that you will be able to manage communications and answer many questions without transferring a caller.

You also will need to take a proactive approach to developing a network of resources within the organization, and be driven to acquire the know-how to get things done and become a "go-to" person in the HR department. Because we support employees around the world, once or twice a month you may need to work early in the morning or later in the evening in order to communicate with contacts in European and Asian time zones; some of this work can be done from home. To excel in this role you will be a quick learner who takes initiative and isn't afraid to ask questions, and you'll thrive in a fast-paced environment in which attention to details and metrics are a must.
