About the role
Arrowhead Talent Solutions is assisting a reputable and rapidly growing manufacturer in the greater Alliance OH area on a search for their next Corporate Director of Human Resources.
Position Summary:
Reporting to the President/Owner and serving as a member of executive team, the Corporate Director of Human Resources will oversee the comprehensive HR functions and provide leadership to a team of HR Managers across multiple manufacturing sites. This role will focus on workforce planning for skilled skilled-trade labor (welder/fabricators, assemblers, painters), plant safety compliance, labor relations, talent acquisition, and retention in a high-throughput industrial environment.
Key Responsibilities:
Workforce Planning & Recruiting: Lead recruitment strategies for shop-floor talent (welders, mechanics, assembly line operators) and technical personnel (manufacturing engineers, supply chain specialists). Partner with local vocational trade schools and apprenticeship programs. Safety & Workplace Compliance: Collaborate directly with Environmental Health & Safety (EHS) managers to ensure full compliance with OSHA standards, manage Workers' Compensation claims, and foster a safety-first shop culture. Employee Relations & Retention: Oversee resolution of plant floor disputes, manage performance evaluations, and implement retention initiatives tailored to direct and indirect manufacturing labor.
Compensation & Benefits:
Oversee competitive wage structure designs using regional industrial benchmarks, shift differential pay policies, and health/retirement benefit plan administration. Training & Onboarding: Partner with plant management to build robust shop-floor safety and technical skills onboarding programs, reducing early turnover and acceleration time to productivity.
Qualifications & Requirements
Experience:
7+ years of progressive HR leadership, specifically in a manufacturing or industrial environment (metal fabrication, automotive, or heavy equipment manufacturing preferred).
Education:
Bachelor’s degree in Human Resources, Business Administration, or related field (SHRM-SCP or SPHR certification preferred).
Skills:
Strong working knowledge of OSHA guidelines, labor laws, payroll/HRIS software, and experience managing high-turnover hourly talent pools. On-site Presence: Must be comfortable spending regular time on the plant floor interacting directly with production supervisors and assembly crews.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
