- Serve as a strategic HR Business Partner to the Axis (LeMoyne), AL plant, along with other assigned US manufacturing sites, providing full-spectrum HR expertise and advising leadership on people decisions that drive organizational effectiveness and support business strategy

- Coach and collaborate with manufacturing and union leadership to proactively resolve business challenges, applying strong conflict resolution skills throughout the grievance process
- Apply critical thinking to anticipate labor relations risk, identify root causes of recurring issues, and recommend proactive solutions rather than reactive fixes
- Develop and execute strategies for talent development, retention, and succession planning, managing multiple concurrent HR priorities
- Advise managers on compliance with federal, state (Alabama), and local labor and employment laws
- Manage performance management, talent management, succession planning, staffing (hiring, onboarding, terminations), and providing guidance on workforce planning and organizational capability
- Prepare and analyze reports for leadership on turnover, new hires, resignations, training and development, and other key HR metrics — translating data into actionable strategic recommendations
- Drive Code of Conduct compliance and facilitate employee relations training
- Lead site-level strategic projects, including but not limited to:
- Employee engagement
- Cultural and organizational change

- Strong, demonstrated union and labor relations background required — proven experience administering collective bargaining agreements, leading grievance processes, and participating directly in contract negotiations
- Strong critical thinking and strategic capability — able to see beyond day-to-day HR administration to connect people strategy to business outcomes, anticipate downstream impact, and navigate ambiguity
- Able to analyze workforce and HR data to inform and support strategic decision-making
- Strong regional experience across the United States driving change and organizational integration
- Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, evolving manufacturing environment, exercising sound judgment with limited precedent
