Director of Human Resources | Pendleton, Oregon | Adaugeo Healthcare Solutions (On-site)This isn't an HR job where you optimize someone else's strategy. This is the HR job where you are the strategy.We're looking for a Director of Human Resources to lead our people function for roughly 1,100 employees across four states (Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Nebraska), based out of our Pendleton, Oregon headquarters.
Let's talk about Pendleton first, because you should know exactly what you're signing up for.This isn't a remote-eligible desk job you can do from a high-rise. It's on-site in our Eastern Oregon (Pendleton) corporate office: wide-open sky, real seasons, a genuine small-town community where people know your name at the coffee shop, and a cost of living that lets your paycheck actually go somewhere. It's Pendleton Round-Up, the Umatilla River, an hour to world-class skiing, and a three-hour drive to Portland or Boise when you want the city fix. If you're the kind of HR leader who wants your work to visibly matter in a place you can also put down roots, not just another line on a stock photo, this is that.
We're not going to pretend the commute or the market is the same as Seattle or Portland. We're going to tell you why the trade is worth it.
What you'll actually own:- Full ownership of the HR function across Adaugeo, Praxis Health, and Interpath Laboratory - not a shared-services seat, the seat.
- A team you build and lead: the Director of Talent Acquisition and an HR Specialist/Business Partner report directly to you.
- The real, hard problems of multi-state healthcare HR: FLSA classification, ADA accommodation, compliance across four states with different rules, compensation strategy, and employee relations that actually get resolved instead of lingering.
- A direct line to C-Suite leadership - your read on the organization shapes decisions; it doesn't just get filed.
- Modern tools, not decade-old spreadsheets: UKG, Greenhouse, Microsoft 365, Claude Enterprise. If you're fluent with technology and expect your team to be too, you'll feel at home here.
You're probably the right person for this if:- You've run an HR department, not just functioned within one, hold 7+ years of progressive HR experience, including real leadership ownership.
- You've worked across multiple states and know that "compliant in one state" doesn't mean "compliant everywhere."
- You've got healthcare, clinical, or multi-site experience, or a fast track record of picking it up.
- You want to build something, not maintain something.
- You're not scared off by a rural headquarters, you're drawn to it.
What we offer: Competitive compensation, relocation assistance, a full complement of Health benefits, and Paid Time Off
