• Champion succession planning, talent development, and performance management
• Foster a culture rooted in accountability, inclusion, and high performance

• Oversee and enhance competitive benefits programs and employee communications

HR Operations & Innovation

• Drive HR systems, analytics, and reporting to support data-driven decisions
• Lead HR technology improvements, automation, and system integrations
• Deliver insights and metrics that influence business outcomes

Employee Relations & Compliance

• Lead complex employee relations matters with fairness and integrity
• Ensure compliance with all federal, state, and local employment laws
• Support a culture of safety in partnership with operations and safety teams

What You Bring

• Proven experience leading HR at a strategic level (multi-site or multi-entity experience a plus)
• Strong business acumen with the ability to influence senior leadership
• Hands-on approach—you’re as comfortable executing as you are strategizing
• Expertise across talent management, compensation, benefits, and compliance
• Experience with HR systems, analytics, and process improvement
• A passion for building high-performing teams and positive workplace cultures
