Job description

The Human Resources Business Partner (“HRBP”) is a strategic partner to the business, aligning HR strategy with regional priorities in close collaboration with the Regional Director and regional leadership team. The Regional HRBP translates business goals, growth, retention, and operational performance, into workforce strategy, leads regional M&A integration and change initiatives, and takes an active role in hiring decisions for key regional positions. The role reports on a solid line to the Senior Director, Human Resources and on a dotted line to the Regional Director, balancing enterprise HR consistency with regional business needs. While the Regional HRBP remains engaged in escalated employee relations matters, day‑to‑day case management is not the primary focus of the role, the emphasis is on regional strategy, talent, and organizational effectiveness.

Essential Functions

Strategic & Regional Leadership

• Partner with the Regional Director and regional leadership team on workforce planning, org design, and talent strategy aligned to regional business goals
• Translate regional business priorities — growth, margin, retention — into HR strategy and actionable plans
• Own regional people‑metrics reporting (turnover, engagement, staffing levels) and advise the Regional Director and Senior Director, Human Resources on trends and recommended actions
• Lead change management for regional initiatives, including restructures, new location openings, and systems rollouts
• Represent the region's needs to Corporate HR Centers of Excellence (Talent, Total Rewards, L&D) and help adapt corporate programs to regional realities
• Support the ongoing maintenance and facilitation of the companywide succession planning program within the region

Talent & M&A

• Actively interview and assess candidates for key regional hires; this is a direct evaluative role in the selection process, distinct from the scheduling and administrative steps owned by the Recruiting team
• Serve as the point-partner for HR integration of mergers and acquisitions within the region, owning onboarding and initial training for newly acquired locations
• Where acquisition volume or timing becomes more than one HRBP can reasonably manage, partner with the Senior Director, Human Resources to determine additional support or reassignment — this remains the default owned responsibility for the region

Employee Relations & Compliance

• Manage and resolve escalated or complex employee relations issues as they arise, partnering with the Senior Director, Human Resources on precedent‑setting matters — this is an as‑needed responsibility, not the majority of the role
• Conduct thorough, objective workplace investigations at branch locations as needed
• Proactively manage legal risk, partnering with Corporate Operations on safety and risk programs and policies
• Help ensure manager and employee compliance with company guidelines and governmental regulations across the region
• Provide day‑to‑day performance management guidance (coaching, counseling, career development, disciplinary actions) to regional managers

Programs & Field Presence

• Support wage and hour audits and help maintain compensation programs and pay grades within the region
• Support the development and maintenance of regional training and development programs, partnering with the L&D team
• Support companywide health and wellness initiatives at the regional level
• Partner with regional managers and employees to strengthen work relationships, build morale, and improve productivity, employee engagement and retention
• Maintain a regular in‑branch presence — a minimum of 25% of time monthly — to build relationships and stay close to the business; travel as frequently as business need allows
• Take on additional strategic HR initiatives and projects as assigned

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree preferred (Human Resources, Business, Psychology, or Organizational Development preferred)
• SHRM‑SCP or SPHR preferred; SHRM‑CP/PHR considered with a strong track record of regional or multi‑site HR leadership
• Minimum 7–10 years of progressive HR experience, including direct experience advising senior or regional leadership
• Multi‑site or multi‑state HR experience required

Knowledge, Skills and Abilities

• Strong business acumen; able to connect regional performance data to workforce strategy and decisions
• Comfortable operating within a matrixed reporting structure, balancing priorities between the Senior Director, Human Resources and the Regional Director
• Executive presence and the ability to influence senior regional leadership
• Working knowledge of multi‑state employment law
• Strong understanding of M&A HR integration practices
• Skilled interviewer, able to assess candidates for key and leadership‑level hires
• Strong conflict management and interpersonal skills, including the ability to influence without direct authority
• Self‑directed and motivated, requiring minimal day‑to‑day supervision
• Ability to travel 25–35% of the time, including a minimum of 25% monthly to branch locations
