About The Role - Senior Manager, Human Resources Business Partner

Centennial, CO, USA

Shape the Future of People Leadership Across North America

Were looking for a seasoned HR leader who thrives in complex, fast-paced global organizations and is energized by influencing business outcomes through people.

As Senior Manager, Human Resources Business Partner, you will serve as a trusted advisor to senior regional leaders, helping shape workforce strategy, strengthen organizational capability, and drive business performance across a large, diverse workforce spanning multiple countries.

This is more than a traditional HRBP role. Youll have the opportunity to influence organizational design, talent strategy, leadership effectiveness, reward programs, employee relations, and workforce transformation initiatives that directly support Oricas continued growth and success.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

In this role, you will:

• Partner directly with regional executive leadership to influence business strategy through people initiatives.
• Lead the HR business partnering function supporting more than 2,000 employees across four countries.
• Drive talent, organizational effectiveness, and workforce planning strategies that enable sustainable growth.
• Shape leadership capability through coaching and mentorship of senior leaders and emerging talent.
• Lead organizational transformation and change initiatives within a globally connected business.
• Collaborate closely with global Centers of Excellence to deliver world-class talent, reward, performance, and employee experience programs.
• Help foster an inclusive, high-performing culture where people can do their best work and grow their careers.

What Youll Be Responsible For

As a key member of the regional leadership team, you will:

• Lead and evolve the HR strategy and business partnering function across the region.
• Provide expert guidance on organizational design, workforce planning, talent management, compensation, benefits, and employee relations.
• Ensure compliance with employment legislation and regulatory requirements across multiple jurisdictions.
• Manage regional HR budgets, workforce reporting, and headcount planning.
• Drive implementation of global people programs and enterprise-wide initiatives.
• Partner with business leaders to build capability, strengthen leadership effectiveness, and improve organizational performance.
• Support complex employee and industrial relations matters with a proactive, business-focused approach.
• Contribute to the future design of employee wellbeing, health, retirement, and benefits programs.

What Success Looks Like

Youll be successful in this role if you are:

• A strategic HR leader who can connect people decisions to business outcomes.
• Comfortable influencing senior executives and navigating complex organizations.
• Skilled at balancing long-term transformation initiatives with day-to-day operational excellence.
• Passionate about developing leaders, building capabilities, and creating high-performance cultures.
• Experienced leading through change within large multinational environments.

What You Will Bring

Were interested in leaders who combine strategic thinking with hands-on execution.

You will ideally bring:

• Bachelors degree in Human Resources, Business, or a related discipline; advanced degree preferred.
• 10+ years of progressive HR leadership experience with broad exposure across core HR disciplines.
• Experience supporting large-scale, multinational operations.
• Background in mining, industrial, manufacturing, energy, oil & gas, or similarly complex operational environments.
• Strong expertise in organizational design, compensation and benefits, talent management, change management, and employee relations.
• Working knowledge of employment legislation and workforce practices across multiple countries.
• A track record of influencing senior leaders and delivering measurable business impact through people strategies.

Role Scope

• 2,000+ employees supported
• Operations across four countries
• Five direct reports and two indirect reports
• Significant regional leadership influence and strategic responsibility
• This role is very collaborative, so the preference would be that this person report to the office at least five days a week but the minimum requirement is three days a week in office
