Our client, a growing health and hygiene products manufacturer, is seeking a Human Resources Director to lead all HR operations at its Long Island headquarters and manufacturing facility while providing strategic oversight to a newly established manufacturing facility in Texas.
This is a unique opportunity for an experienced, hands-on HR leader to serve as the organization's senior HR professional and trusted advisor to leadership. Reporting directly to senior leadership, the HR Director will oversee all aspects of the employee lifecycle for a large manufacturing workforce, while building the people, processes, and infrastructure needed to support continued growth across multiple locations.
The ideal candidate is equally comfortable developing HR strategy and executing day-to-day operations. This highly visible role encompasses talent acquisition, employee relations, payroll and benefits administration, compliance, performance management, leadership coaching, and organizational development. Success in this position requires a strong floor presence, a collaborative partnership with operations and finance, and the ability to foster an engaged, high-performing workplace culture.
Key Responsibilities: Strategic HR Leadership, Talent Acquisitions & Onboarding, Employee Relations & Culture, Compliance & HR Operations, Performance Management & Development, and New Facility Start-Up & Oversight
• Serve as the lead HR professional for a growing multi-site manufacturing organization, overseeing all aspects of the employee lifecycle from recruitment through offboarding.
• Partner closely with executive leadership, operations, and finance to align people practices with business objectives and support continued organizational growth.
• Lead full-cycle recruiting for hourly, skilled trades, and salaried positions, including periods of high-volume hiring. Develop talent pipelines and implement effective sourcing strategies to meet workforce demands.
• Manage onboarding, employee engagement, retention, and workforce planning initiatives that support a positive employee experience and strong organizational culture.
• Act as the primary resource for employee relations matters, conducting investigations, managing performance concerns, advising managers, and ensuring fair and consistent application of policies and practices.
• Maintain a visible presence throughout the manufacturing facility, building relationships with employees across shifts and fostering a positive, engaged, and high-performing workplace culture.
• Oversee payroll coordination, benefits administration, leave management, HRIS administration, personnel records, and other core HR operational functions.
