Senior Director Human Resources

Company Confidential
York, NY Full Time
POSTED ON 5/24/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 6/23/2026

The Opportunity


This is a rare chance to step into a high-impact, people leadership role at a critical inflection point in our growth. As Head of Human Resources for the U.S., you will serve as a true strategic partner to senior leadership, shaping culture, driving organizational effectiveness, and building the people infrastructure that will carry us into our next chapter.


We are a global organization with a strong pipeline, a rapidly scaling U.S. presence, and a genuine commitment to building a world-class employee experience. This role sits at the intersection of strategy and execution and offers the autonomy and visibility that senior HR leaders thrive in.


If you are energized by complexity, passionate about people, and ready to leave a meaningful mark on a growing organization, we want to hear from you.


What You'll Do


Strategic Partnership & Organizational Leadership**

  • Serve as the senior HR leader and trusted advisor to U.S. business leaders and employees
  • Partner closely with the executive team to align people strategies with business goals
  • Lead organizational design, workforce planning, and succession planning initiatives
  • Drive change management and transformation efforts across multiple sites and functions


Talent & Culture**

  • Develop and execute strategies to attract, develop, engage, and retain top talent
  • Foster a high-performance culture grounded in the organization's values
  • Champion diversity, inclusion, and a collaborative employee experience
  • Lead employee engagement initiatives and culture-building programs


People Operations & Compliance**

  • Provide guidance on employee relations, performance management, and complex HR matters
  • Ensure HR practices are compliant with federal, state, and local employment laws
  • Partner with Talent Acquisition, Compensation, L&D, and HR Operations teams
  • Utilize HR analytics and workforce insights to drive data-informed decision making


Global Collaboration**

  • Partner with global HR and business leaders to align practices across geographies
  • Build cross-functional relationships across the U.S. and internationally
  • Support leadership development and strengthen management capability organization-wide


What You'll Bring


  • Bachelor's degree required; Master's degree or MBA preferred
  • 12 years of progressive HR leadership experience, with a track record of operating at the senior level
  • Industry background in life sciences, pharmaceutical manufacturing, or a similarly regulated environment strongly preferred
  • Experience supporting manufacturing operations, technical operations, or corporate functions in a global organization
  • Proven ability to influence and partner with senior and executive leadership
  • Deep expertise across organizational design, talent management, leadership development, employee engagement, and change management
  • Experience in a global matrix environment with multi-geography collaboration
  • Strong business acumen, equally comfortable with strategic vision and hands-on execution
  • Exceptional communication and relationship management skills
  • Strong analytical capability with experience leveraging HR data and workforce insights
  • Solid knowledge of U.S. employment law and HR best practices


Why This Role Stands Out

- High visibility and a genuine seat at the table with senior leadership

- Opportunity to build and scale HR infrastructure during a pivotal growth phase

- Global organization with meaningful cross-cultural exposure

- A people-first leadership team that values HR as a true business partner

- Competitive compensation and benefits package
