Senior Director HRBP, working with Global Business President
ROLE FILLED - HIGH PERFORMANCE LEADER COMMENCED AFTER SUCCESSFUL EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT OFFER
This multinational employer is seeking a HR leader with expertise in supporting a full product lifecycle and value chain business; and as a result, any history of supporting manufacturing site workforces will be extremely useful, in addition to expertise for applying Lean / Six Sigma or continuous improvement methodologies.
This will be the most senior person in HR supporting the Business President and executive team for a high profile business division, with immediate priorities to be tackled spanning production efficiencies, commercializing R&D innovations, maximizing existing markets and establishing new markets, and adapting to the needs of multi generational workforces.
This division continues to have strong market growth prospects, stemming from R&D innovation that is creating new product and market opportunities, plus noteable M&A activity. With the resources of the parent corporation fully available, a more aggressive approach to growth could easily be undertaken, and certainly the application of more efficient organisational design and operating practices will also help leverage stronger profitability.
To date, whilst the business growth has been consistent, HR frameworks haven’t kept up with that pace, so many more aspects need to be revamped across areas like reward, talent management, workforce engagement, succession planning & more.
This HR leader will need to inspire and develop a mid size team of HR professionals scattered around the world to improve on pro active HR service delivery; and will be a key advisor & contributor the global HR executive team. Additionally, this person will have access to well-established HR CoE's for deep technical expertise.
MBA’s and PhD’s abound, and I expect this workforce will provide many challenges to change given the level of expertise they have in their own core niches. Certainly a key challenge will be fostering ongoing creativity and innovation and entrepreneurialism; tempered with more robust and sustainable frameworks in a regulatory environment with heavy compliance needs. This is also the kind of workforce who are influenced by data and number and logical, factual reasoning, rather than emotion; so this leader will need to be up to date on tech and comfortable with analytics!
The global leadership team has undergone significant change through a period of intensive acquisitions, so a focus on executive coaching and reward for performance will be a priority in this role; along with advising on organizational design and culture harmonization. Knowledge sharing and coaching leaders on enabling others (instead of being top down directors) would also be a focus for this person.
Whilst this role is within a multinational company, key stakeholders are actually based in the greater Boston area, so ideally this person will be based in the area with the ability to work with a blended office/home office arrangement and regular (but planned) inter-continental travel. We have flex on salary with a minimum base of USD 250,000 + exec bonus & benefits package + LTIP. This is a high profile role, and success will certainly provide many ongoing development & progression opportunities within other divisions of the parent corporation around the world; and/or as the successor to the current CHRO.
This person will offer well-rounded HR expertise and a track record for delivering sustainable results with Senior Director/VP level responsibilities. Company growth is expected to be predominantly from markets outside of the USA, so direct and extensive exposure to international workforces across multiple continents will also be ideal. A history of living within other countries whilst managing multi market responsibilities will be highly regarded as will any multi lingual skills.
English is the company language, and a stable, salaried career history that shows clear career progression and professional development will be well regarded. Unfortunately, career contractors will not be considered at this time. No work visa sponsorship is available so current US citizenship or a valid US green card is essential.
