HR Business Partner

Our New York City Locations:

In the heart of Manhattan, AIRE finds its home in two unique sanctuaries — in Tribeca, a historic textile factory reborn as an urban oasis, and on the Upper East Side, an intimate retreat inspired by the essence of Mediterranean calm.

Each location embodies AIRE’s philosophy of transforming history into harmony: exposed brick walls, candlelit paths, and thermal baths that transport guests to a timeless state of bliss. Together, they form one of AIRE’s most emblematic destinations — where New York’s energy meets the art of relaxation.

Reporting to the Regional HR Director and working closely with the Site Directors, you’ll act as a trusted advisor to leadership and staff, driving people strategies that support both the guest experience and business performance.
