SVP Human Resources, Milwaukee, WI (US)

United States

The Company

This global public company is well-established and going through a massive transformation which involves acquisitions and operational changes. Technology will play a much greater role in the company in the future, and as a result, the culture, hiring practices, and pay practices will evolve rapidly. Because of this transformation, the company has created a new SVP HR role to help enable this change and help to drive and support an acceleration in growth going forward.

The Role

Reporting to the CHRO, the SVP Human Resources role is global, but with a heavy emphasis on North America given the importance of this region. The largest portion of the company’s total business (employees and revenue) will sit under this position. The candidate will drive strategic changes and manage the integration and re-shaping of new and legacy business units from an HR point of view. He or she will also navigate the challenges of integrating different reward systems and maintaining cultural cohesion across diverse employee groups. This is an in-office role.

The Individual

We are seeking an established HR leader/business partner who can thrive in a fast-paced, and rapidly changing environment and be CHRO successor-ready within circa three years. A background in industrial/manufacturing, energy and/or technology will be needed and a mix of these industries will be ideal. Public company experience is a ‘must’. The individual should have strength in compensation and ideally will have experience with Boards and compensation committees. A good working knowledge of compensation practices in the technology industry would be a major plus. We are also looking for robust experience in mergers and acquisitions, cultural integration and overall strategic HR leadership.
