HR Director - Illinois, USA, blend of delivery and strategic design
ROLE FILLED - HIGH PERFORMANCE LEADER COMMENCED AFTER SUCCESSFUL EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT OFFER
This role is perfect for an ambitious professional who is solidly grounded in the workings of a competitive P&L focussed manufacturing business. Leading a small HR team with support from newly formed CoE’s, this person will take HR business partnering to "the next level" on a site that has a critically high level of importance in this global company.
This person will also be the “go to” partner for a leadership team who’ve been working on a “turnaround” agenda, with a focus on improving safety, production efficiencies, quality controls and gearing up for process automation. The leadership team need support for raising their interactions with all workforces - they’ve been so caught up in “fire-fighting and fixing” that they’ve missed opportunities to involve and engage workforces, who are overdue for leadership inspiration and communications.
The existing HR team is performing well for the fulfillment of HR administration and process and day to day service delivery; but they need to offer more proactive support to business leaders in an array of areas inclusive of talent attraction, engagement, retention; workforce productivity; reward competitiveness, talent pipelining; labor relations; leadership development; mobility; and career pathways. They will welcome mentoring and development from an accomplished HR leader. And with ongoing and rapid growth on the agenda for both staffing and production outputs, the HR team have no shortage of work ahead to ensure robust frameworks to support sustainable and profitable expansion.
Many of the workforce have highly technical roles, so this person will need to be comfortable and credible in presenting data and qualified research analysis to support market trends, talent and reward recommendations. Advanced knowledge of local labor laws will be highly regarded - disputes are few, but when they do happen, they’re invariably complicated given the regulatory nature of this business.
The company is well resourced and reputable, and its products are literally contributing to save the lives of people around the world - you should achieve great satisfaction from working in a mission-driven culture, and the company offers genuinely diverse career opportunities to its high-performance employees.
This role is open to US citizens and current US Green Card holders; and will ideally be based in the Manteno area of Illinois. Significant relocation support from other locations within the USA is available combined with a level of flex site attendance once you’re based in the region. An emphasis on employee wellbeing, plus a company agenda for environmental protection means this role won’t be ideal for someone who wants to travel to the area frequently, rather than living locally.
A genuine interest in continuous improvement methodologies will be key, and an ambitious professional who offers global mobility should progress well within this complex multinational company. A base salary from US$180,000 base salary (with flex depending on experience) will be accompanied by performance bonuses, plus a very generous benefits package.
There's a realistic list of "wish list" criteria for this hire over and beyond what is noted here, and we're happy to elaborate to interested professionals who should apply directly and in confidence via solutions@cartermorris.com and quoting reference CMTS00326.
