Description
Vice President of Human Resources
Reports to: President / Chief Executive Officer
Location: Lansdale, Pennsylvania
Employment Type: Full-time, Executive
On Site : 5x/Week / Monday-Friday
Position Overview
A privately held manufacturing company seeks a Vice President of Human Resources to lead the modernization and strategic advancement of its people function. Reporting directly to ownership and serving as a member of the executive leadership team, this individual will assess the organization's current human resources capabilities and lead their evolution into a function that actively supports operational performance and sustained growth.
This is a transformation-oriented role. The successful candidate will bring a proven ability to evaluate, restructure, and elevate the HR function within a hands-on manufacturing environment, balancing immediate operational needs against the long-term development of talent, systems, and culture.
Scope of the Role
Over the initial twelve to eighteen months, the Vice President of Human Resources will be expected to conduct a thorough assessment of the existing function, establish a clear strategic roadmap, and lead its execution. Priorities will include strengthening talent acquisition and retention, modernizing systems and processes, and advancing a culture grounded in accountability, safety, and performance. The role requires a leader who can establish credibility quickly and deliver meaningful progress while building toward durable, long-term improvement.
Key Responsibilities
Strategic Leadership and Organizational Development
Develop and execute a comprehensive human resources strategy aligned with business objectives. Advise ownership and operational leadership on organizational design, workforce planning, and change management. Lead HR through periods of growth, restructuring, or operational transition.
Talent Acquisition and Retention
Establish a proactive talent strategy spanning hourly, skilled trades, technical, and salaried positions. Reduce turnover and time-to-fill through improved sourcing, onboarding, and total rewards. Develop sustainable pipelines for critical and difficult-to-fill roles.
Systems, Process, and Analytics
Lead the implementation or modernization of HRIS, payroll integration, and people analytics. Replace inconsistent or manual practices with scalable, data-informed processes that operate effectively across multiple shifts and facilities.
Culture, Performance, and Leadership Development
Establish and strengthen performance management, leadership development, and accountability frameworks. Develop the capabilities of frontline supervisors and plant management. Advance a safety-first, high-performance culture across all levels of the organization.
Employee and Labor Relations
Oversee employee relations across a multi-shift, multi-site workforce. Manage labor relations, collective bargaining, and grievance processes where applicable, or lead positive employee relations strategy in non-union environments, particularly through periods of organizational change.
Compliance and Risk Management
Ensure full compliance with applicable federal, state, and local employment law, including FLSA, FMLA, ADA, EEOC, and OSHA-related requirements. Partner with environmental health and safety leadership to support safety programs and oversee workers' compensation and leave administration.
Team Leadership
Assess, develop, and where appropriate restructure the human resources team, including plant-level generalists, to ensure the function is properly resourced and aligned to business needs.
Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in Human Resources, Business Administration, or a related discipline is required. A Master's degree or MBA is preferred. A minimum of twelve to fifteen years of progressive human resources experience is required, including at least five years in a senior leadership capacity. Experience within manufacturing, industrial, or distribution environments is strongly preferred.
The successful candidate will demonstrate a clear record of leading human resources transformation, turnaround, or function buildout rather than steady-state management alone. Experience modernizing systems, processes, and culture within an operating environment is essential. Multi-site leadership and experience supporting a large hourly workforce are required. Labor relations and change management experience are strongly preferred. SHRM-SCP or SPHR certification is preferred.
The ideal candidate combines strategic vision with strong execution, operates effectively at both the leadership and operational levels, and possesses the business acumen and credibility necessary to influence ownership and operational leaders.
Compensation And Benefits
The company offers a competitive executive compensation package, including performance-based incentives and comprehensive benefits, along with the opportunity to lead a meaningful transformation supported by ownership.
