Human Resources Director

About the Company

Some HR leadership roles focus on support functions.

This one helps shape how the business grows.

We’re partnered with a globally recognized consumer products and manufacturing organization operating within a highly collaborative, growth-oriented environment.

The company is continuing to evolve its U.S. corporate operations and is seeking an HR leader who can operate as both a strategic advisor and hands-on business partner to senior leadership teams.

This role sits at the center of organizational effectiveness, leadership capability, workforce strategy, and employee experience across a complex head office environment.

The organization values leaders who can influence change, simplify complexity, and help scale culture alongside business growth.

About the Role

As the Director, Human Resources, you’ll serve as the lead HR partner supporting U.S. head office leadership across talent strategy, organizational design, employee relations, leadership development, and workforce planning initiatives.

This role combines strategic business partnership with operational HR leadership.

You’ll work directly with senior leaders to align people strategy with business priorities while helping guide organizational change, leadership development, engagement, and long-term workforce capability.

This is not an HR role focused solely on policy execution.

You’ll be expected to influence decisions, identify organizational risks and opportunities, improve leadership effectiveness, and help shape a high-performing employee experience across the organization.
