Elevate Your Impact: Senior Director of Human Resources

At KVC Missouri, we believe every person should be safe and connected to a strong family and a healthy community. As our Senior Director of Human Resources, you aren't just managing a department; you are the operational heartbeat of a mission that transforms lives across Missouri.

Imagine a role where your HR expertise directly fuels the growth of an exceptional continuum of care. You will lead HR services for our largest business unit, spanning regional campuses in St. Louis, Kansas City, Springfield, Columbia, and St. James. Your days will be a dynamic blend of strategic oversight and hands-on leadership as you:

• Lead a Talented Regional Team: You will co-supervise two regional HR Directors and a regional HR Manager, fostering a culture of accountability and professional growth.
• Be the Face of HR Across Missouri: This is a high-visibility role requiring statewide presence. You'll travel to our various sites to meet service level agreements, ensuring our local teams feel supported and connected.
• Drive Mission-Critical Growth: You will own the "top ingredients" of our success: recruitment, retention, and leadership development. You'll be the architect of human capital strategies that ensure we have the best talent to serve children and families.
• Navigate a Shared Services Powerhouse: Operating within KVC Health Systems' sophisticated HR Shared Services model, you'll focus on the high-impact work—employee investigations, competency development, and deep collaboration with local operational leaders.
• Champion a Culture of Belonging: KVC is in the top 1% of employers nationally for work wellbeing. You will be a "culture champion," ensuring our values of authenticity, compassion, and urgency are felt by every employee.

You are a seasoned HR leader who thrives in fast-paced, multi-site environments. You likely have deep experience interlacing HR practices with clinical, educational, or residential treatment settings. You aren't afraid of the road; you see statewide travel as an opportunity to build relationships and solve problems where they happen. Most importantly, you always ask, "What would I want for my child?" when making decisions that impact our workforce and the families we serve.

Qualifications we're looking for include:

• Experience: At least 8 years of HR management experience (or 5 years with PHR/SHRM-CP), with significant multi-site leadership.
• Education: Bachelor's degree in HR or a related field (Master's preferred).
• Skills: Superior critical thinking, a proactive service-oriented mindset, and the ability to use data to drive talent solutions.
• Character: A change agent who leads with authenticity and compassion.
