Are you a people-first HR leader ready to make a real impact? Talis Group is proud to partner with a market-leading manufacturer seeking an experienced Human Resources Manager to join their Louisville, KY plant leadership team. This is a high-visibility role at a growing company known for its innovation, quality, and strong customer relationships.

In this role, you’ll be a strategic business partner on-site while collaborating with other HR leaders across the U.S. You’ll manage a local HR Generalist, report to a corporate VP of HR, and work closely with plant leadership and union to foster a positive, productive, and safety-first workplace.

Why This Role Stands Out :

  • Competitive salary ($125K–$135K) + 10% bonus opportunity.
  • High autonomy + local impact with corporate support.
  • Opportunity to shape HR strategy in a unionized environment.
  • Be part of a growing and well-respected manufacturing brand.

What You’ll Do :

  • Partner with plant leadership to align HR strategies with business goals.
  • Build strong employee relationships—be a visible presence on the floor.
  • Lead employee engagement, retention, and performance management initiatives.
  • Support recruitment and onboarding for hourly and salaried roles.
  • Oversee compliance, benefits, and HR reporting requirements.
  • Collaborate with other site HR Managers on best practices and training programs.
  • Manage labor relations and serve as liaison between union and management.
  • Provide counsel on discipline, investigations, and policy enforcement.
  • Foster a positive, safety-driven culture rooted in transparency and respect.

    • What We’re Looking For :

  • Bachelor's degree in HR or related field.
  • 7+ years’ HR experience in a manufacturing setting.
  • Must have some experience in HR leadership role.
  • MUST have experience in union environment.
  • Confident navigating a matrixed organization and building relationships at all levels.
  • Strong knowledge of labor law, compliance, and HR best practices.
  • Experience using HRIS systems and Excel for reporting and analytics.
  • A proactive, approachable, and self-directed professional with strong communication skills.
  • SHRM-CP or SHRM-SCP preferred.

    • This is more than an HR job—it’s your opportunity to lead with influence, shape culture, and support business success at a top-tier manufacturing company.
