Human Resources Director

ALIGN Executive Search is partnering with a fast-growing organization to find a strategic and experienced Human Resources Director to lead HR operations across multiple locations. This is a high-impact role responsible for aligning HR practices with business objectives, improving people processes, and supporting organizational growth.

Why This Role Stands Out:

  • Executive-level role with influence across departments
  • Opportunity to standardize and elevate HR operations at scale
  • Hands-on leadership in a collaborative, mission-driven environment

Key Responsibilities

  • Advise managers on performance, coaching, and development
  • Resolve complex employee relations issues in compliance with employment laws (HIPAA, OSHA, FLSA, FMLA, ADA)
  • Promote a culture of compliance, respect, and ethics
  • Oversee internal audits and maintain accurate records

Total Rewards & Benefits:

  • Develop and manage compensation structures and incentive plans
  • Oversee benefits administration including health, dental, vision, retirement, and payroll
  • Align career pathing and total rewards with industry benchmarks

Additional Duties:

  • Support other HR-related responsibilities as needed — flexibility and adaptability are key

What You Need to Qualify:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Human Resources, Business Management, or related field
  • 10+ years of experience as a senior HR business partner
  • 3+ years leading HR teams
  • Strong knowledge of employment laws and HR best practices
  • Experience with HR process transformation and automation
  • Proficient in Microsoft Office, especially Excel and PowerPoint
  • Strong public speaking, communication, and facilitation skills
  • Business mindset with the ability to link HR strategy to operations
  • Hands-on, solution-focused approach

Preferred:

  • SPHR or SHRM-CP certification
  • Familiarity with HRIS platforms like Rippling, and tools such as Microsoft 365, Canva, and Google Docs
