Help Build a Workplace That Helps Save Lives

Manager, People Operations Business Partner

This one helps shape the people strategy behind products that detect cancer, support critical medical procedures, and enable mission-critical aerospace and defense technologies.

At Nortech Systems, our employees build complex products that make a difference in the world. We're looking for a strategic Human Resources professional who is ready to make a difference for them.

As our next Manager, People Operations Business Partner, you'll partner closely with leaders, coach and develop teams, drive meaningful organizational initiatives, and help create an exceptional employee experience at our Bemidji manufacturing facility while influencing people strategies across the organization.

Why Bemidji?

Nestled among northern Minnesota's lakes and forests, Bemidji offers something that's increasingly hard to find: a rewarding career and an exceptional quality of life.

Whether you enjoy fishing, hiking, biking, paddling, hunting, snowmobiling, or simply having room to breathe, Bemidji provides year-round outdoor recreation, a welcoming community, and a lower cost of living than many metropolitan areas.

It's the kind of place where you can leave work knowing your impact mattered and still have time to enjoy what matters most outside of work.

Why Nortech?

At Nortech, you'll join a team of talented people who take pride in solving complex challenges for some of the most respected names in medical technology, aerospace, defense, and industrial manufacturing.

You'll have the opportunity to:

• Partner directly with leaders on workforce planning, organizational design, culture, and employee engagement.
• Lead high-impact initiatives that improve the employee experience across the organization.
• Use data and insights to influence decisions and drive meaningful change.
• Serve as a trusted advisor on employee relations, performance management, coaching, and leadership effectiveness.
• Help shape the future of a growing organization while remaining closely connected to employees at every level.

This is a highly visible role for someone who enjoys balancing strategic thinking with hands-on execution.

What We Offer

• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage
• 100% company-paid employee base medical plan
• 401(k) with company match
• Paid time off
• A culture built on collaboration, accountability, and continuous improvement

Who You Are

You are a People Operations or HR professional who enjoys solving complex business challenges through people-centered solutions. You build trust quickly, communicate effectively, and are equally comfortable coaching leaders, analyzing workforce trends, and driving large-scale initiatives from idea to implementation.

If you're looking for an opportunity to make a meaningful impact on employees, leaders, and the products they help create, we'd love to hear from you.

Join Nortech Systems and help build the teams behind products that improve and save lives every day.
