Evergen is a global leader in regenerative medicine and the only CDMO offering a differentiated portfolio of allograft and xenograft biomaterials at scale. Following the acquisitions of Cook Biotech and Collagen Solutions, we're growing rapidly and looking for an experienced HR Business Partner who wants to be a trusted advisor to leaders and a key driver of organizational success.

If you thrive in a fast-paced manufacturing environment, enjoy solving complex people challenges, and want a highly visible role partnering directly with leaders, this opportunity is for you.

✅ Leading investigations and ensuring employment law compliance

✅ Delivering leadership training and development initiatives

This role is approximately 40% focused on manager coaching, employee relations, performance management, and leadership support.

Why This Role Is Different

You'll support:

• West Lafayette Operations (~150 employees)

• Minnesota Operations (~60 employees)

• IT & Finance functions (~50 employees)

• Advisory support for our New Zealand site

You'll be a key member of the HR team with the opportunity to influence leaders, improve processes, and directly impact employee experience across the organization.

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience

• 5+ years of progressive HR experience

• Experience supporting manufacturing, operations, or other business functions
