Your Opportunity to Lead at the Highest Level
This is more than a senior HR role — it’s a career-defining opportunity to transform how human resources powers business success.

This role, while directly partnering with the Production Team, will lead the design and execution of a people strategy that strengthens performance, develops leaders, and ensures our organization is built for sustainable growth. You’ll manage a seasoned HR team, implement data-driven systems, and strengthen and foster a culture where every employee — from shop floor to C-suite — feels valued, supported, and driven to succeed.
