Job Description
We are the leading provider of worldwide smart end-to-end supply chain & logistics, enabling the flow of trade across the globe. Our comprehensive range of products and services covers every link of the integrated supply chain - from maritime and inland terminals to marine services and industrial parks as well as technology-driven customer solutions. The Senior Director, Human Resources is a key member of the HR leadership team, responsible for driving the HR strategy and execution for the company's operational workforce across warehouse, transportation, and data center environments. This role leads a team of four HR Directors, each supporting designated operating regions or business units, and serves as the primary HR partner to Operations leadership. While the Vice President, Human Resources owns the enterprise-wide HR strategy and oversees the centers of excellence (Compensation, Talent Acquisition, Learning & Development, Employee Relations, etc.), the Senior HR Director, Operations is accountable for translating those programs into effective, on-the-ground execution across a large, distributed, frontline workforce. This individual ensures consistency, compliance, and quality of HR delivery across all operational sites, and partners closely with centralized functions - particularly Employee Relations - to ensure operational realities and frontline needs are reflected in program design and case handling.
