Our personalized service and strategy connect media, consumers and influencers across the globe, taking people to new places and changing their views for the better. At MMGY, we inspire people to go places.

MMGY Global has an immediate opening for Director, Human Resources in our Overland Park, KS office.

The Role:

This is the senior HR seat for our largest employee population, reporting to the Chief HR Officer and serving as a member of the global HR Leadership Team. You will be the strategic partner to our global business Centers of Excellence (COE) and the leaders who run them, own the people agenda for our workforce, and lead the HR team that supports them.

What You’ll Own

• Strategic partnership. Advise our COEs and their senior leaders on organizational design, workforce planning, performance and talent management. Bring the data and the judgment that shape the people decisions.
• Culture and change. Drive engagement, retention, and the kind of culture people stay for. Lead the change management, and the communication that goes with it when the business shifts.
• Total rewards and benefits. In partnership with Director Global Total Rewards, own the US benefits strategy end-to-end, from annual reviews and vendor partnerships to leading the 401(k) fiduciary committee. Keep our total rewards competitive, compliant, and cost-efficient.
• M&A integration. Play a central role in integrating acquired businesses and take ownership of HR support for those populations as we bring the teams together.
• Policy and program development. Build the policies and programs that support our workforce from employee relations, benefits, and total rewards to leaves, accommodations, career development, and performance management. Own the annual employee handbook review, and watch the market to bring proactive, competitive solutions to the table.
• HR operations and systems. Run the North America HR function day to day with a continuous-improvement mindset, and use HR technology, analytics, and AI to drive scale, consistency, and efficiency.
• Employee relations and compliance. Handle sensitive, high-stakes people matters with a fair and steady hand. Keep us ahead of applicable US and Canadian employment laws and regulations and translate regulatory change into practical policy.
• Team leadership. Lead, coach, and develop HR team members. Build the bench and the ways of working that let them do their best work.

What You Bring

• A bachelor's degree in HR, Organizational Development, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
• 10+ years of work experience in HR, with real depth across employee relations, total rewards, and organizational effectiveness.
• Global HR experience. You have supported employees and leaders across multiple countries, partnered effectively with regional HR teams and Department leaders, and navigated differing employment practices, cultures and business needs.
• People leadership experience. You've managed and developed an HR team, not just individual contributors.
• Benefits and total rewards fluency. You bring hands-on experience with plan design, vendor management, and retirement plan governance.
• Interpersonal and relationship skills. Strong leadership and collaboration skills, with a track record of building trust across diverse groups and stakeholders at every level of the organization.
• Organization and project management. You run complex, multi-stakeholder initiatives from start to finish, with the problem-solving skills to work across functions and keep things moving.
• Executive presence and communication. Comfortable speaking in small and large forums, with excellent presentation, facilitation, and persuasive writing skills.
• Trusted-advisor presence. You influence senior leaders, challenge when it matters, and stay the fair, steady voice in the room.
• HR technology and AI fluency. Experience using HR systems, analytics, and AI to drive scale and efficiency.
• Bias for action. You move fast, juggle competing priorities, and thrive in a lean, collaborative, all-hands environment.
