HR Director

Director of Human Resources (U.S.)

Twin Cities, MN (Hybrid)

We are partnering with a global, multi-entity organization to identify a Director of Human Resources to lead HR across its U.S. business.

This is a high-impact, high-visibility leadership role where you’ll own the full scope of HR for a growing and evolving U.S. organization (~400+ employees) within a broader international business.

The Opportunity

This is not a traditional, siloed HR leadership role.

The organization is continuing to grow and evolve across multiple business units, creating a need for a leader who can bring alignment, structure, and forward-thinking HR strategy to a dynamic, multi-entity environment.

You’ll step into a role where success requires both strategic perspective and hands-on execution—partnering closely with senior leadership while leading and developing an established HR team.

What You’ll Own

• Serve as the lead HR partner for the U.S. business, supporting a diverse employee population across multiple teams and functions
• Guide the organization through ongoing growth and integration efforts, aligning people, processes, and structure across business units
• Partner with leadership on:
• Organizational design and restructuring
• Succession planning and leadership development
• Workforce planning and team effectiveness
• Lead and mentor a team of HR professionals, elevating capability and strengthening HRBP effectiveness
• Bring consistency and clarity to HR practices while maintaining flexibility where needed
• Act as a trusted advisor—balancing business needs with employee experience in a fast-moving environment
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Finance, Operations, and global HR partners to ensure alignment and execution

What Makes This Role Unique

• Full ownership of U.S. HR within a global organization
• A true “player-coach” leadership role—not purely strategic or purely operational
• Exposure to multi-business and cross-functional complexity, including integration of acquired teams and evolving business structures
• Opportunity to work closely with new and evolving leadership teams, influencing organizational direction and scalability
• A culture that values ideas, adaptability, and continuous improvement over rigid processes

What They’re Looking For

• Proven HR leadership experience with broad generalist scope (not limited to one functional area such as TA or compensation)
• Experience operating in complex, multi-business unit or matrixed environments
• Ability to navigate ambiguity, influence stakeholders, and drive alignment across diverse teams
• Strong leadership presence with a balanced approach—able to provide direction and accountability while building trust and relationships
• Track record of supporting organizational growth, change, or integration efforts
• Experience leading and developing HR teams
• Comfort toggling between strategy and execution as needed

Ideal Background

• Senior HR Manager or Director-level experience with increasing scope
• Experience supporting both operational/distribution and corporate/professional employee populations
• Exposure to global organizations is helpful, but not required

Compensation & Benefits

• Base salary: $150,000 – $165,000
• Bonus: Target 20%
• Comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental, vision, 401(k) match, generous PTO, and wellbeing/development programs
• Flexible, hybrid work environment

Why Consider This Role

This is an opportunity to step into a true HR leadership seat where you can:

• Influence business decisions at a senior level
• Lead through growth and organizational evolution
• Build alignment across a diverse and growing organization
• Shape HR strategy while remaining close to the business

If you’re energized by ownership, challenge, and the ability to shape how an organization operates, this role offers a meaningful next step. Reach out to Kelsey Conrad on LinkedIn today to learn more!
