ENVITA

DIRECTOR OF HUMAN RESOURCES

Build the HR Function Envita Needs for Its Next Stage of Growth

Full-Time | $150,000 | Scottsdale, Arizona | Monday-Friday Day Shift | No Nights, Weekends, or Major Holidays | Reports to Vice President

A net-new, high-impact role with a genuine blank canvas.  You will personally build and implement the programs, standards, tools, leadership practices, and operating rhythms that create consistent HR execution across Envita's healthcare entities and verticals. This is an opportunity to leave a visible enterprise-wide legacy, not inherit and maintain a finished system.

Envita is a growing, entrepreneurial healthcare enterprise spanning medical centers, specialty pharmacy, interventional radiology, telemedicine, Oncology Online, shared services, and future ventures. The organization now needs one scalable HR operating model that strengthens leadership, protects the enterprise, and creates a more consistent employee experience without adding unnecessary bureaucracy.

Employee Relations is the first priority. The Director will become Envita's senior internal owner of workplace issues and investigations, working directly with Legal and resolving matters within delegated authority so Brian, Craig, and other senior executives are involved only when a genuine executive decision or material enterprise risk requires it.

• Build from a blank canvas: create and operationalize performance management, succession planning, policies, HR service-level agreements, onboarding, learning and development, leadership development, Employee Relations infrastructure, and executive reporting.
• Create enterprise consistency: establish standards that work across distinct healthcare entities, employee populations, leaders, and operating models.
• Work with real authority and access: report to the Vice President, partner directly with Legal, advise senior leaders, and make decisions within clear governance and escalation standards.
• See your impact: move programs from concept to adoption, measure results, correct implementation issues, and build a scalable foundation for Envita's continued growth.
• Lead and build hands-on: work alongside a lean HR team while personally creating the initial architecture, content, tools, training, workflows, and operating cadence.

The Director will lead and work alongside the HR team, with direct responsibility for Employee Relations and benefits. Payroll is not included. Talent Acquisition remains a separate enterprise function. This role is designed for a hands-on builder-operator who can move from executive counsel and diagnosis into policy writing, program design, manager training, implementation, issue resolution, measurement, and continuous improvement.

Talent Acquisition partnership and ownership boundary.  The Director of Human Resources must be a strong partner to Talent Acquisition while respecting the separate ownership model established for Envita. Collaboration and data exchange are required, but HR does not oversee or approve Talent Acquisition strategy, methodology, technology, budgets, metrics, or operations.
