US and Canada HR Leadership
Take Your HR Career to the Next Level
This is a unique opportunity for an ambitious and strategic HR leader ready to take on a high-impact Director role. If you’re looking to step into a senior leadership position, gain exposure to private equity, and drive meaningful organizational change, this is the opportunity to build your career and create a powerful success story for your resume.
This role offers the best of both worlds—the chance to be hands-on while influencing executive-level strategy. You will work directly with the CEO and senior leadership team, overseeing HR across North America, leading a cultural transformation, and creating a high-performance workplace that attracts and retains top talent.

- Ensure Compliance & Operational Excellence – Manage Canadian and U.S. employment law compliance, oversee HRIS implementation, and support workforce planning.
- Coach & Develop Leaders – Partner with executives and managers to drive leadership effectiveness, retention strategies, and succession planning.
- Support M&A Growth – Lead HR integration efforts in mergers and acquisitions, ensuring smooth transitions and alignment with business goals.
- HR Leaders with experience in a senior leadership role, ready to take on a broader, more strategic position.
- A builder - someone who enjoys creating, designing, building and implementing HR strategy, systems and processes.
- Manufacturing & Industrial HR Experts – Experienced in multi-site, operational environments, comfortable navigating workforce complexities.
- Strategic Thinkers with Hands-on Execution – Able to drive big-picture HR strategy while also executing on the details.

- Retirement Plan: Defined contribution plan with up to 5% company match
