Director of Human Resources

The Role

The Director of Human Resources is more than an HR leader. You’ll champion how Willmeng cares for its people, leading the teams behind the moments that matter most: an employee’s first day, their benefits and wellbeing, their milestones, and the times they need us most. You’ll set the vision for how we take care of our people, lead Willmeng’s nonprofit, and keep our practices fair, consistent, and people-first as we grow into new states and federal work. If you believe caring for people and doing things the right way go hand in hand, this is your place.

What you will accomplish

• Shape a benefits and wellness experience built around what our employees value most.
• Lead a team that helps every employee feel welcomed, supported, and celebrated, from their first day forward.
• Lead Willmeng’s nonprofit and our commitment to taking care of our own.
• Keep our policies fair, clear, and grounded in our values in every state we call home.
• Guide employee relations with empathy, consistency, and sound judgment.
• Build the processes and partnerships that let our culture scale as we grow.
  

What you will bring

We’re looking for a people-first leader who brings empathy, structure, and sound judgment. The ideal candidate sees compliance as a way of caring for people, not a checklist, and is equally comfortable shaping a benefits strategy, guiding a sensitive employee situation, and building a team that delivers an outstanding employee experience.

Required

• Eight or more years of progressive HR/People Operations experience, including three or more years leading teams.
• A people-first approach: the ability to apply policy and employment law with empathy, clarity, and good judgment.
• Experience supporting a multi-state employer, with strong knowledge of federal and state employment law.
• Experience setting benefits strategy and overseeing benefits, leave, compensation, and immigration programs.
• A track record of building programs, processes, and teams where little exists today.
• Outstanding leadership, communication, and relationship-building skills.
• Ability to work primarily from our Phoenix office and travel 15–25% to satellite offices and jobsites.
  

Preferred

• Experience in construction, manufacturing, or similar industries (strongly preferred), or in another high-volume, multi-site environment such as hospitality.
• Experience with federal contractor compliance (OFCCP, AAP, Davis-Bacon/prevailing wage).
• Experience with nonprofit or foundation programs (nice to have, not required).
• SHRM-CP, SHRM-SCP, PHR, or SPHR certification.
• Experience supporting high-growth organizations.
  

You’re inspired by our values

• Altruistic - Our foundation is built upon the authentic, selfless concern we share for the success and wellbeing of others.
• Fair 360 - We illuminate with kindness by seeking to understand before being understood and by caring more than may seem reasonable so we can achieve genuine success for all.
• Strategic - The blueprint that guides the creation of a genuine place of purpose expresses the clarity of our vision, the rigor of our thought and the character of our word.
• Sincere - We present no facades, only genuine elevations of truth, trust, and wholehearted loyalty to the employees we mentor, the clients we serve and the communities we call home.
• Nimble - Our structural integrity is ensured through the balance of resourcefulness, responsiveness, and adaptability and strengthened by being well-rounded in the market to serve at the highest levels.
