Director of Human Resources (U.S.)
đź“Ť Twin Cities, MN (Hybrid)
We are partnering with a global, multi-entity organization to identify a Director of Human Resources to lead HR across its U.S. business.
This is a high-impact, high-visibility leadership role where you’ll own the full scope of HR for a growing and evolving U.S. organization (~400+ employees) within a broader international business.
🧠The Opportunity
This is not a traditional, siloed HR leadership role.
The organization is continuing to grow and evolve across multiple business units, creating a need for a leader who can bring alignment, structure, and forward-thinking HR strategy to a dynamic, multi-entity environment.
You’ll step into a role where success requires both strategic perspective and hands-on execution—partnering closely with senior leadership while leading and developing an established HR team.
🎯 What You’ll Own
- Serve as the lead HR partner for the U.S. business, supporting a diverse employee population across multiple teams and functions
- Guide the organization through ongoing growth and integration efforts, aligning people, processes, and structure across business units
- Partner with leadership on:
- Organizational design and restructuring
- Succession planning and leadership development
- Workforce planning and team effectiveness
- Lead and mentor a team of HR professionals, elevating capability and strengthening HRBP effectiveness
- Bring consistency and clarity to HR practices while maintaining flexibility where needed
- Act as a trusted advisor—balancing business needs with employee experience in a fast-moving environment
- Collaborate cross-functionally with Finance, Operations, and global HR partners to ensure alignment and execution
🧠What Makes This Role Unique
- Full ownership of U.S. HR within a global organization
- A true “player-coach” leadership role—not purely strategic or purely operational
- Exposure to multi-business and cross-functional complexity, including integration of acquired teams and evolving business structures
- Opportunity to work closely with new and evolving leadership teams, influencing organizational direction and scalability
- A culture that values ideas, adaptability, and continuous improvement over rigid processes
✅ What They’re Looking For
- Proven HR leadership experience with broad generalist scope (not limited to one functional area such as TA or compensation)
- Experience operating in complex, multi-business unit or matrixed environments
- Ability to navigate ambiguity, influence stakeholders, and drive alignment across diverse teams
- Strong leadership presence with a balanced approach—able to provide direction and accountability while building trust and relationships
- Track record of supporting organizational growth, change, or integration efforts
- Experience leading and developing HR teams
- Comfort toggling between strategy and execution as needed
🎯 Ideal Background
- Senior HR Manager or Director-level experience with increasing scope
- Experience supporting both operational/distribution and corporate/professional employee populations
- Exposure to global organizations is helpful, but not required
đź’° Compensation & Benefits
- Base salary: $150,000 – $165,000
- Bonus: Target 20%
- Comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental, vision, 401(k) match, generous PTO, and wellbeing/development programs
- Flexible, hybrid work environment
đź’¬ Why Consider This Role
This is an opportunity to step into a true HR leadership seat where you can:
- Influence business decisions at a senior level
- Lead through growth and organizational evolution
- Build alignment across a diverse and growing organization
- Shape HR strategy while remaining close to the business
If you’re energized by ownership, challenge, and the ability to shape how an organization operates, this role offers a meaningful next step.
