• Develop and execute workforce plans supporting staffing, organizational effectiveness, succession planning, retention, and leadership development across multiple facilities.
• Provide leadership and guidance on complex employee relations matters, performance management, workplace investigations, EEO issues, ADA accommodations, and conflict resolution.
• Partner with operational leaders to strengthen employee engagement, workplace culture, accountability, and overall organizational effectiveness.
• Ensure compliance with federal, state, and local employment laws, company policies, and HR best practices across geographically dispersed operations.

• Provide guidance on compensation, wage administration, market competitiveness, and regional salary programs.
• Lead organizational change initiatives and help leaders effectively navigate growth, restructuring, and evolving workforce needs.
• Analyze workforce trends and HR metrics to identify risks, opportunities, and strategies that improve retention, productivity, and operational performance.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of progressive Human Resources leadership experience, including significant responsibility within multi-site or geographically dispersed operations.
• Strong preference for experience within distribution, logistics, transportation, supply chain, warehousing, or food distribution environments.
• Demonstrated experience partnering directly with senior operational and executive leadership.
• Strong knowledge of federal and state employment laws, employee relations, EEO compliance, ADA accommodations, and performance management.
• Proven experience managing complex employee relations matters and workplace investigations.
• Experience leading organizational change, workforce planning, culture initiatives, and leadership development.
• Demonstrated ability to lead, coach, and develop HR professionals across multiple locations.
• Experience with recruiting strategy, executive talent acquisition, and compensation or wage administration.
• Strong business acumen with the ability to understand operational priorities and translate them into practical HR strategies.
• Excellent communication, judgment, and relationship-building skills with the ability to influence leaders at all levels of an organization.

The Ideal Candidate

You are a strategic HR leader who is equally comfortable advising senior executives and working directly with operational teams. You understand that strong HR leadership in a distribution environment requires visibility, responsiveness, sound judgment, and the ability to balance employee needs with business priorities.

You thrive in complex, fast-moving organizations and enjoy building strong teams, improving processes, developing leaders, and creating HR strategies that have a measurable impact on the business.
