Job description

The HR Director position is a high-visibility seat that connects finance, operations, and leadership at Excellence Consulting. The Bridgeport role is less about the $154,000 - $226,000 and more about what 11 years of Learning and Development lets you own at Excellence Consulting.

Key Responsibilities

• Author the playbook so the next HR Director doesn't start from a blank page
• Establish reporting cadences that give stakeholders timely visibility
• Chase down why margin slipped and come back with a fix, not a theory
• Run the numbers on build-versus-buy before Excellence Consulting signs anything
• Smooth the handoff between Headcount Planning closing and Written Communication onboarding
• Streamline operational workflows to reduce cost and improve efficiency

What You'll Bring

• The instinct to ask "what would change your mind?" before debating
• Experience thriving in an experiment-friendly, deadline-driven setting like Excellence Consulting
• Strong rapport-building skills and a genuinely positive presence
• Enough Change Management to be dangerous, enough Teamwork to be trusted

Excellence Consulting exists to solve hard business problems with a mentorship-focused approach and a Bridgeport, CT-rooted culture. The door to every manager at Excellence Consulting is genuinely open, calendar permitting and politics aside.

Beyond the $154,000 - $226,000 headline, we hand you a mentor, room to grow into director work, and the freedom to shape your own week.

This opening is current to the minute and openly recruiting today.

Don't let a slow-to-anger HR Director opening in Bridgeport become the one that got away.
