What would you do as our Senior Human Resources Manager?

As Senior HR Manager, you’ll be at the forefront of shaping people strategy, partnering with leadership, and driving initiatives that strengthen culture, compliance, and business performance. You’ll lead a high-performing HR team and oversee the full employee lifecycle — from attracting and retaining top talent to boosting engagement and keeping policies and practices ahead of the curve.

  • Lead and develop a high-performing HR team, building both HR expertise and business acumen.
  • Oversee recruitment, onboarding, and retention strategies that attract top talent and strengthen workforce engagement.
  • Promote a positive workplace culture through visibility on the manufacturing floor, employee engagement initiatives, and effective internal communications.
  • Monitor employee sentiment with pulse surveys and feedback tools; refresh programs and implement new ideas to elevate the employee experience.
  • Plan and coordinate HR programs such as career pathing, counseling, outplacement, and continuous learning opportunities.
  • Manage performance management and compensation programs, including job evaluations, salary administration, and reviews.
  • Provide guidance to managers and employees on policies, conflict resolution, and employee relations; lead investigations and recommend resolution strategies.
  • Stay current on HR trends, best practices, regulatory changes, and new technologies; apply insights to strengthen policies, practices, and business readiness.
  • Leverage HR technology and HRIS (e.g., SuccessFactors) to optimize processes, reporting, and decision-making.
  • Support workplace health and safety programs and actively participate in safety initiatives.
  • Manage HR documentation, budgets, and charitable contributions with fiscal responsibility and alignment to company values.
  • Represent the company in community relations, employee activities, and engagement initiatives.
  • Ensure compliance with employment laws, corporate governance standards, and the ASSA ABLOY Code of Conduct.

 

The Skills and Experience you need:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Human Resources, Business Administration, or related field (required); Master’s or MBA with HR concentration preferred.
  • 8–12 years of progressive HR experience, including 3–5 years in a senior leadership role; HR certification (SHRM-SCP, SPHR) is a plus.
  • Experience in manufacturing or industrial environments and familiarity with OSHA regulations and safety programs highly desirable.
  • Proven track record in strategic HR planning, talent management, succession planning, and organizational development.
  • Strong knowledge of employment law, compensation, benefits, performance management, and compliance.
  • Skilled in recruitment, retention, and career development, with an understanding of employer branding and employee value proposition.
  • Demonstrated success leading cross-functional initiatives, influencing senior leadership, and driving change.
  • Expertise in conflict resolution, employee engagement, and fostering a positive workplace culture; experience with surveys and feedback tools a plus.
  • Proficiency with HRIS systems (e.g., SuccessFactors, Workday) and Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint).
  • Ability to interpret HR metrics and business KPIs, translating insights into actionable strategies that improve performance.
  • Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to lead internal communications and represent the company in community initiatives.
  • High integrity, discretion, and professionalism.
