Job Summary
As a Regional HR Business Partner, you will serve as a trusted advisor and strategic partner to regional leadership, helping ensure our stores are set up for strong performance and sustainable growth. This role supports a multi-state region that includes the Miami market, Tampa market, Jacksonville, Manassas, Virginia, and Bowie, Maryland.
This is a field-focused role, with up to 50–75% of your time spent in stores within your assigned region, supporting General Managers and their leadership teams. Your primary mission is to build bench strength by ensuring talent development is happening consistently across every location you support, while also supporting the execution of recruiting strategies that strengthen both internal and external talent pipelines. You will coach leaders on identifying high-potential employees, ensure development frameworks are being followed, and partner with store leadership to build a pipeline of qualified candidates ready for promotion into leadership roles, while also driving consistent hiring practices and supporting local recruiting efforts across the region.
Beyond talent development, you will serve as the region’s HR expert, owning employee relations, driving compliance, and ensuring our stores operate within federal, state, and local employment laws. You should have a proven track record of coaching and developing field leaders, strong knowledge of HR principles, and the ability to apply that knowledge to solve real business challenges in a fast-paced, operationally complex environment.
Conversational Spanish is strongly preferred. Many of our store teams include primarily Spanish-speaking employees, and the ability to connect with and support them directly is an important part of this role.
