Senior HR Leadership Position - USA

Leading a small team of HR Directors and supported by well-established Centres of Excellence, this individual will be tasked with elevating HR business partnering to “the next level” across a globally significant operations unit that is of critical importance to this company.
Acting as the “go-to” HR partner for the C-Suite Leader and their leadership team, this person will take on immediate priorities that include improving global production efficiencies, refining and realigning the operations division, commercialising R&D innovations, and adapting strategies to meet the needs of a multi-generational workforce. While the existing HR team is high-performing and well-regarded locally and regionally, the challenge lies in defining and refining the global HR approach for the business unit in conjunction with the business strategy in the key areas of change and transformation, organizational development, talent, performance management, and engagement as the business continues to mature and adapt.
Given the diversity of the workforce, including technical, white and blue-collar populations spread across multiple geographies, this person must bring a truly global mindset. They must be confident and credible when presenting data-driven insights and qualified research analysis to support decisions on market trends, talent strategies, and reward recommendations.

To succeed in this role, you will need:
• Advanced commercial acumen along with credible leadership presence, and the ability to deal with “now” as the constant deadline expectation
• Direct experience in working within a “can do” company culture
• Well-rounded expertise for all the specialty areas of HR, including time spent within a CoE
• Demonstrated success operating effectively in a complex, matrixed global organization
• A track record for delivering solutions to enable effective organisational change
• Natural ability to influence through data and factual reasoning, rather than emotion without evidence
• Advanced English - it will be essential for both written and verbal presentations to executive leaders; and any additional languages will be highly regarded
• A stable, salaried career history that shows clear career progression and professional development. Unfortunately, career contractors will not be considered at this time
This person will offer well-rounded HR expertise and a track record for delivering sustainable results at VP level. A history of living within other countries whilst managing multi market responsibilities will be highly regarded.
