Position Summary

The Vice President, Regional HR & Integration is a hands-on field leader responsible for bringing LAZs People & Culture strategy to life across our locations. This leader ensures that we operate as one connected team with clear ownership, strong judgment and a shared commitment to the employee and operator experience.

The VP is expected to be in the field, know our operators, understand the realities of our locations and stay close enough to the work to see where our people practices are helping and where they are getting in the way. The successful leader will move comfortably from a conversation with a frontline employee, to coaching a location leader, to partnering with a Regional Vice President or senior executive.

The mandate is to protect what makes LAZ special while building a People & Culture operating model that can scale with the company.
