HR Director at BrightPath LLC – New Hope, Minnesota

We’re hiring a Human Resources Director to lead and scale the people function in a growing behavioral health organization.

This is a high-impact role for a leader who understands that in human services, people systems, compliance, and staffing reliability directly impact client safety.

We are an EOS-run organization, so this role requires both strategic leadership and the ability to drive accountability through clear structure and execution.

What you’ll own:

• Full HR leadership across Talent Acquisition, HR operations, and employee relations
• Building and optimizing high-volume + specialized recruiting pipelines (clinical + direct care)
• Ensuring HR practices align with 245D regulations, licensing standards, and audit readiness
• Developing systems for performance management, documentation quality, and corrective action
• Workforce planning tied to staffing ratios, program needs, and growth
• Leading and strengthening the people component of EOS

What we’re looking for:

• Proven progression through Talent Acquisition → HR Generalist → HR Leadership
• Strong experience in behavioral health, human services, or healthcare
• Deep understanding of operating in a regulated environment (245D preferred)
• Experience with:
• Background studies (NETStudy) and clearance processes
• MVR requirements and workforce eligibility standards
• Compliance-driven documentation and audit expectations
• Track record of improving recruiting outcomes, retention, and accountability systems
• Experience supporting multi-site, frontline-heavy operations

EOS Leadership Expectations:

• Facilitate and strengthen the People Component across the organization
• Support leaders in using People Analyzer, Scorecards, and Rocks effectively
• Drive clarity on right people, right seats
• Coach leaders to deliver clear, values-based feedback and accountability
• Participate in and help lead Level 10 (L10) meetings

What matters in this role:

• Staffing is not just an HR metric—it is directly tied to client safety and service quality
• Compliance is operational—not theoretical—and must show up in documentation and daily execution
• HR must balance people-first leadership with clear expectations and accountability
• Systems must be scalable, consistent, and aligned with both regulatory and operational demands

This role is a strong fit for someone who:

• Has built and fixed HR systems in complex environments
• Is comfortable holding leaders accountable—not just supporting them
• Can move between strategy and hands-on problem solving
• Understands that in this field, execution and consistency matter as much as intent
