  • Conduct complex employee relations investigations and provide guidance on employment law compliance.
  • Support organizational development, succession planning, and leadership development initiatives.
  • Use workforce metrics and data to identify trends, solve problems, and improve business results.
  • Collaborate with Talent Acquisition, HR Centers of Excellence, and Operations leaders to deliver outstanding people outcomes


What You'll Bring...

  • Bachelor's degree and 5+ years of progressive HR experience (or equivalent).
  • Previous experience leading HR in a manufacturing, distribution, or industrial environment.
  • Demonstrated success supporting significant business growth, facility expansions, new production lines, turnarounds, or workforce transformations.

  • Proven leadership experience managing HR teams.
  • Experience influencing leaders and driving accountability through coaching and partnership.
  • Proven ability to analyze workforce data and translate insights into action.
  • Strong communication, organizational, and change management skills.
  • A proactive, solution-oriented mindset to tackle challenges head-on.
