Kelly is seeking an experienced Senior Manager, Human Resources for a hybrid opportunity with a leading global organization in Bridgewater, NJ.

This is a hands-on HR Business Partner role supporting the U.S. Commercial organization, including Sales, Marketing, and Commercial Operations within the Vision Care business.

Although the position carries a Senior Manager title, this is an individual-contributor role with no direct reports. We're looking for an experienced HR Manager or Senior HRBP who can partner with senior business leaders while remaining closely involved in day-to-day HR execution.

What You'll Do

• Partner with Sales, Marketing, and Commercial leaders on day-to-day HR needs
• Provide hands-on support with employee relations, performance management, manager coaching, and workplace issues
• Support annual compensation, salary planning, performance, and talent review cycles
• Partner on workforce planning, organizational changes, succession planning, and employee development
• Support recruiting needs, requisitions, and hiring activities
• Partner with HR Centers of Excellence while remaining actively involved in execution
• Use HR systems, reporting, and data to support business decisions
• Support HR technology and practical adoption of AI tools

What We're Looking For

• 10+ years of progressive HR experience
• Recent experience as an HR Manager, Senior HRBP, HRBP, or similar hands-on generalist
• Experience supporting Sales, Marketing, Commercial, or similar corporate functions
• Pharmaceutical, biotech, medical device, healthcare, life sciences, or similar regulated-industry experience
• Strong employee relations, performance management, and manager coaching experience
• Experience with compensation/salary planning, talent management, workforce planning, and organizational changes
• Sales incentive compensation experience is highly desirable
• Strong HR technology skills; SuccessFactors or similar HRIS experience is helpful
• Familiarity with AI tools or emerging HR technology is preferred
• Bachelor’s degree required

Schedule & Compensation

• $75/hour
• Monday-Friday
• Onsite Tuesday-Thursday; remote Monday and Friday
• Benefits available through Kelly
• Potential to convert to permanent employment within approximately 12 months based on performance and business needs

This role is ideal for an experienced HR professional who enjoys both sides of HR - partnering with business leaders while still rolling up their sleeves and handling the day-to-day work.
