Job description

JBM is seeking a Director of Human Resources to join its executive leadership team and help shape the future of the organization’s people strategy.

This is not a maintenance role — it’s an opportunity to build, influence, and elevate. You’ll step into a company with a strong foundation and play a key role in strengthening employee engagement, driving organizational effectiveness, and preparing the business for future leadership transitions. If you’re someone who can balance strategy with execution and isn’t afraid to have a voice at the table, this is a highly visible and impactful role.

What You’ll Do

• Lead succession planning and workforce strategy to support long-term business growth
• Drive employee engagement and alignment with company purpose, vision, and values
• Partner with executive leadership to translate business goals into people-focused initiatives
• Build and lead a high‑performing HR team
• Oversee and elevate JBM’s Fair Chance Program and related community partnerships
• Implement and improve performance management, training, and career development programs
• Establish and track HR metrics and organizational KPIs
• Act as a key resource for employee relations, compliance, and risk management
• Serve as a strategic advisor with the confidence to challenge and influence leadership

What You’ll Bring

• 10–15+ years of progressive HR experience, including leadership responsibility
• Strong background in organizational effectiveness, employee relations, and workforce planning
• Experience in a manufacturing or operational environment is highly preferred
• Ability to operate as a “player‑coach” — strategic but hands‑on
• Confidence to contribute at the executive level with a strong point of view

Why Join JBM

You’ll join a company that is stable, growing, and deeply rooted in its values—with leadership that is committed to investing in people and doing business the right way.

This is a chance to:

• Sit at the executive table and influence real decisions
• Build and shape HR strategy in a meaningful way
• Make an impact through a purpose‑driven culture and community initiatives
• Help guide the organization through key leadership transitions and future growth
