We are a global leader shaping the future of beauty through scientific excellence and a profound sense of responsibility. Our success is powered by an entrepreneurial spirit and a culture that empowers our people to innovate, adapt, and lead.

The Opportunity:

As a Manager, HR Business Partner at the North Little Rock Plant, you will step into a critical role, acting as a strategic partner to our manufacturing and operational leaders. This is not just a role focused on managing daily HR operations; its an opportunity to actively shape our site culture and workforce. You will be instrumental in fostering a high-performance, agile, and enabled workforce-with a primary focus on leading and supporting our non-exempt and hourly population-while taking point on key plant projects, driving data integrity, and spearheading our campus/early career strategy.

What You Will Do (Key Responsibilities):

Strategic Business Partnership & Non-Exempt Workforce Management:

• Serve as a trusted strategic HR partner to assigned operational leaders, translating business objectives into dynamic people strategies with a dedicated focus on managing the non-exempt and hourly population.
• Actively drive organizational enablement, empowering supervisors and managers, reducing micromanagement, and accelerating decision-making on the shop floor.
• Resolve complex employee relations issues, conduct thorough employee investigations while maintaining strict confidentiality, and provide counsel on HR policies and best practices to ensure a fair, inclusive, and compliant work environment.
• Coordinate and manage social audits to ensure full compliance with internal standards and external requirements.

• Act as an HR culture ambassador alongside culture champions to implement facility-wide employee engagement, morale, and culture initiatives.

Data Integrity & Operational Excellence:

• Lead site data integrity efforts, ensuring absolute accuracy across internal systems and maintaining internal audit controls.
• Prepare insightful monthly HR reports and metrics to inform strategic plant decisions.
• Ensure strict compliance with all governmental regulations, EEO standards, and internal LOréal policies.

Talent Acquisition & Early Career Strategy:

• Partner with recruitment teams and manage relationships with RPO partners to ensure strong time-to-fill rates.
• Spearhead the site's early career and campus strategy to secure pipeline talent for internships and direct-hire plant roles.

Talent Development & Career Pathing:

• Champion a culture of continuous learning, growth mindset, and talent agility, implementing training programs that improve individual and operational effectiveness.
• Guide leaders through talent management processes, including performance management, succession planning, and skills development.

What You Will Bring (Required Qualifications):

• Bachelor's degree in Human Resources, Business Administration, or a related field. Master's degree a plus.
• Minimum of 5-7 years of progressive HR experience, with experience supporting non-exempt/hourly population in a manufacturing, plant, or operational setting preferred.
• A demonstrated entrepreneurial mindset, proactively identifying opportunities, driving innovative solutions, and influencing senior leadership in a fast-paced environment.
• Proven experience leading cross-functional HR projects and driving data integrity initiatives.
• Strong analytical capabilities, with experience leveraging HR data and metrics to inform strategy, solve complex problems, and measure impact.
• Exceptional communication (written, verbal, presentation), negotiation, coaching, and problem-solving skills, with a high degree of urgency, service orientation, and executive maturity.
• In-depth understanding of HR principles, employment law, and EEO compliance, coupled with a strong curiosity for HR innovation and industry best practices.
• Proficiency in HRIS tools, Applicant Tracking Systems, and strong PC skills (Microsoft Office Suite, especially advanced Excel and PowerPoint).
