Senior Human Resources Manager
Senior Human Resources Manager
📍 Reading, PA (Fully Onsite)
If you’re an HR leader who prefers being on the floor over behind a desk, this is the kind of role where you can make a real impact.
We’re partnering with a large, complex operations site supporting a predominantly hourly workforce of ~1,500+ employees. This role sits at the center of the business, working side-by-side with Operations leadership to solve problems in real time, strengthen leadership capability, and elevate the overall employee experience.
This is not a purely strategic role, and it’s not a corporate HR position. It’s hands-on, fast-paced, and highly visible.
What You’ll Be Doing
• Lead HR for a large, operations-driven site with 3 direct reports
• Partner closely with site leadership to drive performance, engagement, and accountability
• Serve as the go-to leader for complex employee relations and investigations
• Build strong presence and credibility on the shop floor
• Assess and develop the HR team to align with operational needs
• Use data and insights to influence decisions and demonstrate HR impact
• Support key areas including performance management, wage analysis, and compliance
What We’re Looking For
• HR leadership experience in manufacturing, industrial, or operations environments
• Proven success supporting large, predominantly hourly populations
• Strong employee relations background with hands-on investigation experience
• Ability to build trust and influence at all levels, especially with Operations
• Experience in multi-site or large single-site environments
• A practical, business-minded approach to HR, including comfort leveraging tools and technology
The Environment
• Fully onsite role based in Reading, PA
• Operations-driven culture that values visibility, responsiveness, and partnership
• Non-union manufacturing environment
• Early start schedule aligned with plant operations (7:00/7:30 AM start)
• Minimal travel; primarily site-based
Compensation & Benefits
• Base salary: $130,000 – $150,000
• 15% bonus + long-term incentive
• Relocation assistance available
• Comprehensive benefits package
Why This Role
This is an opportunity to step into a high-impact leadership role where HR is expected to be a true business partner. You’ll have the ability to shape the function, influence leadership, and drive meaningful outcomes across a large, complex operation.
If you’re someone who thrives in a hands-on environment and wants to be part of a team where HR plays a critical role in the success of the business, we’d welcome a conversation.
