Why Virginia Farm Bureau?
Virginia Farm Bureau has been a cornerstone of agricultural and rural life in Virginia for more than 100 years. We're a statewide organization with deep roots in every county — and a people-first culture to match. Here, you won't just administer HR processes — you'll shape the employee experience for a workforce that keeps Virginia's farming communities thriving. The Opportunity
We're looking for a strategic, energetic HR Business Partner to join our team. In this role, you'll be a true partner to business leaders — not just an HR administrator. You'll support a region of county offices and multiple corporate divisions, bringing expertise, empathy, and impact to everything from employee relations to succession planning. If you're a seasoned HR professional who thrives on building relationships, solving complex people challenges, and driving organizational effectiveness — this role was made for you. What You’ll Do
You’ll wear many hats — and love every one of them: Serve as a trusted HR advisor to a region of county offices and multiple corporate divisions, guiding leaders on employee relations, performance, discipline, and compensation. Partner with the Director of Talent Acquisition & Compensation on talent management, succession planning, and workforce strategy. Drive HR business processes — from onboarding to annual policy sign-off — ensuring they’re well‑communicated, consistently executed, and continuously improved. Lead workplace investigations and partner with Legal and senior leadership to navigate complex employee relations matters. Champion a culture of inclusion, listening, and belonging across your assigned areas. Conduct exit and stay interviews, analyze people trends, and bring data‑informed recommendations to the table. Collaborate with the recruiting team on interviews, job fairs, and campus recruitment when needed. Manage assigned HR policies, keeping them current with Federal, State, and local labor law requirements. Identify leadership development needs and partner with the HR VP to address them. Represent VFB HR at company events, conferences, and community engagements. What We’re Looking For
