This is your opportunity to drive culture transformation, lead change initiatives, and partner with senior leadership to shape the human capital strategy across a complex, multi-entity system.

•         Lead and develop a team of HR professionals — overseeing hiring, coaching, performance management, and career growth

•         Drive organizational effectiveness through culture transformation, change management, and leadership development programs

•         Design and deliver training and interventions aligned with strategic talent priorities: retention, succession planning, engagement, and total rewards

•         Diagnose root causes of workforce and work environment challenges and build data-driven, stakeholder-aligned solutions

•         Participate in Monthly Operational Reviews and key facility leadership discussions to ensure alignment and execution of action plans

•         Provide input into HR strategy development and translate organizational goals into facility-level initiatives

•         Consult on organizational design, workforce planning, employee relations, compensation, and performance management

•         Proactively identify strategic gaps and propose consulting plans to address underlying causes

•         5+ years of direct people management experience

•         Proven expertise in strategic talent planning, engagement, retention, change management, and leadership development

•         Experience in complex, matrixed organizations — healthcare background a strong plus

Core Competencies

•         Exceptional leadership, influence, and negotiation abilities

•         Advanced written, verbal, and interpersonal communication skills

•         Strong diagnostic and conceptual thinking — ability to identify root causes and build targeted solutions

•         Skilled in conflict resolution, group facilitation, and organizational dynamics

•         Strong business acumen with strategic and systems thinking capabilities

•         Demonstrated project management and execution abilities

Why This Opportunity?

•         Be a strategic force — not just a support function — within a complex, mission-driven organization

•         Lead meaningful change at scale across multiple facilities and service lines
