Senior Human Resources Manager

The Senior Human Resources Manager is a hands‑on HR leader responsible for building, operating, and continuously improving the company’s people practices across the U.S. organization. This role is intentionally execution‑forward, with approximately 65% of the role focused on operational delivery and 35% on strategic partnership and capability building.

This is a builder role, not an advisory‑only position. The successful candidate will be comfortable rolling up their sleeves, establishing structure where it does not yet exist, and translating leadership direction into practical, workable HR solutions that support business performance, cost discipline, and employee effectiveness.
