Yuba City, CA, USA
About the job
The Opportunity
A multi-site manufacturer is looking for a Lead HR Business Partner who operates less like a support function and more like a trusted advisor to the business. You'll work directly with leaders across production and commercial teams — influencing decisions, driving performance, and building the kind of HR credibility that earns a seat at the table without having to ask for one.
What You'll Own
- Strategic partnership with leaders at all levels — org design, workforce planning, succession, and talent development
- Employee relations: coaching, conflict resolution, and internal investigations when needed
- Performance management programs from design to execution
- Talent assessment and identification of critical roles across the organization
- Cross-functional collaboration with HR colleagues in comp, benefits, recruiting, L&D, and compliance
- Facilitating trainings, department meetings, and employee-facing HR initiatives
- Exit interview analysis translated into actionable recommendations
What We're Looking For
- 7+ years of progressive HR experience, with a strong HRBP track record
- Background in manufacturing or similarly complex, fast-moving environments
- Deep expertise in employee relations, organizational design, and succession planning
- Working knowledge of federal and state employment law — FMLA, ADA, wage and hour
- Strong influencer who can coach a frontline supervisor and advise a senior leader in the same afternoon
- Project management chops and comfort leading cross-functional HR initiatives
- Proficient in Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Outlook)
Why It's Worth Your Look
This is a high-autonomy role with real scope — not a policy-administrator position. If you want to do meaningful HR work with leaders who actually want a partner, this is it.
