Director of Human Resources

Director of Human Resources

At Archway Communities, we believe everyone deserves a safe, stable, and affordable place to call home.

For more than 50 years, Archway has developed, owned, and operated affordable housing communities across Colorado, pairing quality housing with supportive services that help residents stabilize and thrive. As we continue to grow, we're looking for a strategic, people-centered Director of Human Resources to help shape the future of our organization and the employee experience that supports our mission.

This is an exciting opportunity for an HR leader who enjoys building organizations—not just supporting them.

As Archway's senior Human Resources leader, you'll partner closely with executive leadership to develop people strategies that strengthen culture, improve organizational effectiveness, develop leaders, and position the organization for continued growth.

You'll help build scalable HR systems, modernize people practices, strengthen leadership capability, and create an exceptional employee experience that enables our employees—and ultimately our residents—to thrive.

If you're energized by solving complex people challenges while remaining hands-on, collaborative, and approachable, we'd love to hear from you.

• Evaluating and improving HR systems, technology, and processes
• Building employee engagement and recognition programs
• Supporting a diverse, multi-site workforce

• Experience developing HR policies, procedures, and organizational infrastructure
• Demonstrated success leading organizational change and continuous improvement initiatives

You'll have the opportunity to:

• Shape Archway's long-term people strategy
• Partner directly with executive leadership
• Build scalable HR programs and infrastructure
• Strengthen organizational culture
• Develop future leaders
• Improve employee engagement and retention
