Job Description

Claiborne Senior Living is seeking an experienced, hands-on Senior Director of Human Resources to lead our HR department and serve as a trusted advisor to executive leadership.

This is more than an oversight role. It combines senior HR leadership with direct ownership of employee relations, employment law compliance, and workplace investigations across our growing, multi-state organization.

If you bring sound judgment, deep employment law knowledge, and the confidence to handle complex employee situations yourself, this may be your next leadership chapter.

Why You’ll Love This Role

• Serve as the organization’s senior HR leader, reporting directly to the Chief Operating Officer
• Lead our Director of HR Operations and Director of Talent & Organizational Development
• Shape employment practices across a growing, multi-state senior living company
• Stay close to the work that matters most: employee relations, investigations, and compliance
• Competitive compensation and comprehensive benefits

What You’ll Do

• Provide direction, leadership, and accountability for HR Operations and Talent & Organizational Development
• Advise the COO and operational leaders on workforce decisions across multiple communities
• Personally manage sensitive workplace investigations, including harassment, discrimination, retaliation, and misconduct
• Review and approve terminations, assessing legal risk and ensuring proper documentation
• Guide compliance with FMLA, ADA, PWFA, FLSA, Title VII, and state employment laws
• Manage accommodation requests and the interactive process
• Develop, interpret, and maintain HR policies across multiple states
• Serve as the primary HR contact for EEOC charges, agency complaints, and threatened litigation, partnering with outside counsel when needed

What We’re Looking For

• Bachelor’s degree in Human Resources, Business Administration, or a related field, or equivalent experience
• Minimum 10 years of progressive HR experience, with substantial employee relations and employment law responsibility
• Proven experience leading an HR function or team
• Significant experience conducting investigations and handling EEOC charges and employment claims
• Experience supporting multi-location operations, ideally across multiple states
• Sound, independent judgment, and knowing when to involve legal counsel
• Excellent communication, documentation, and leadership skills
• SHRM-SCP or SPHR, and experience in senior living, healthcare, or hospitality, preferred

Benefits

• Competitive salary with performance-based incentives
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Company-paid life insurance
• Paid time off and paid holidays
• Short- and long-term disability
• Critical illness and accident insurance
