Milwaukee, WI | Hybrid (3–4 Days Onsite)

This is not a traditional HR Business Partner role.

We are partnering with a growing, technology-enabled organization seeking a senior HR leader who can sit alongside business and Technology executives and help determine what the organization needs to become next.

As a member of the Senior Leadership Team, you will serve as a senior talent and organizational advisor—translating business strategy into workforce, organizational, leadership, and talent priorities that improve productivity, strengthen organizational capability, and support profitable growth.

The opportunity is particularly compelling for an HRBP who enjoys working at the intersection of business strategy, people, data, AI, and technology—but who also wants to remain close enough to the work to help execute the strategy they create.

What You'll Be Asked to Do

You will partner closely with senior business and Technology leaders to understand where the organization is going, identify the workforce and organizational implications, and build the strategies necessary to get there.

That includes:

• Building and executing integrated workforce, organizational, leadership, and talent strategies tied directly to business priorities.
• Advising senior leaders on organizational design, workforce capability, succession, talent density, productivity, and how work should evolve.
• Working across HR Centers of Excellence—including Talent, Total Rewards, Learning & Development, People Analytics, HR Technology, and others—to turn business needs into coordinated people solutions.
• Using workforce insights, business data, technology, and emerging AI capabilities to improve decisions and organizational performance.
• Bringing a clear point of view, including the managerial courage to challenge assumptions and influence senior leaders when the business or organization requires a different approach.
• Staying involved through execution—defining outcomes, measuring progress, adjusting the strategy, and ensuring the work produces meaningful business results.

The formal role description specifically calls for this leader to help shape how work evolves through people, AI and technology, while strengthening leadership, increasing talent density, and improving business performance.

What We're Looking For

We're particularly interested in someone who has already operated as a strategic HR Business Partner, not simply someone who has led HR programs or operations.

You should be able to talk specifically about:

• Serving as the primary HRBP to VP, SVP, C-suite, or comparable senior leaders, with ownership of the people and organizational strategy for a business or function.
• Directly supporting a Technology, Engineering, Product, Digital, Data/Analytics, IT, or closely related technical organization.
• Building and executing workforce strategies—including organizational design, workforce planning, capability development, succession, restructuring, or future workforce needs.
• Operating effectively within a COE-based HR model, knowing when to lead directly and when to bring together specialized HR resources to solve a business problem.
• Influencing executives through business acumen, data, judgment, and managerial courage—including situations where you've challenged a leader or recommended a different direction.
• Defining the intended outcome of your work and demonstrating how you measured whether the strategy actually improved the business or organization.

A bachelor's degree in Business, Human Resources, Organizational Development, Technology, or a related field is required.

What’s In It for You

This is an opportunity to move beyond being an HR advisor who is brought in after a business decision has already been made.

You'll have a seat on the Senior Leadership Team and the opportunity to influence decisions about how the organization is structured, what capabilities it needs, where talent investments should be made, and how people, AI, and technology can work together differently in the future.

You'll also join an organization where the expectation isn't simply to recommend strategy. You'll have the opportunity to build it, execute it, measure it, and see the business impact of your work.

As the Senior HR Manager, you'll play a critical role in driving operational excellence across the Human Resources function. Reporting to the HR leadership team, you'll lead a team of HR Generalists while creating consistency across policies, processes, compliance, and employee relations practices throughout the organization. This is an opportunity to build scalable HR infrastructure, influence enterprise-wide HR operations, and help shape a best-in-class employee experience.

This is a chance to bring your expertise to an organization that values collaboration, accountability, continuous improvement, and employee development, where your contributions will have a lasting impact on both the HR function and the business.

Fusion Recruiters is partnering with a global manufacturing organization to identify a Senior Quality Manager – Customer Assurance. This individual will lead the response to customer-reported quality concerns, warranty issues, field failures, and early product-life failures.

This is an opportunity to move beyond identifying defects and lead the teams responsible for determining what happened, containing the problem, implementing corrective action, and preventing it from happening again.

The organization is open to an established customer-quality leader or a high-potential industrial, process, manufacturing, reliability, or quality engineering professional ready to step into broader leadership.

What You Will Do

• Influence quality improvement across multiple facilities and teams without relying solely on direct authority.

What We Are Looking For

• Bachelor’s degree in engineering, operations management, quality, or a related technical discipline.
• Eight or more years of progressive experience in manufacturing, engineering, reliability, or quality.
• Experience working with complex, engineered products in a discrete-manufacturing environment.

• Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional teams through complex technical problems.
• Strong interpersonal skills with the ability to establish credibility and build productive relationships.
• Ability to explain complex technical issues clearly to both technical and nontechnical audiences.
• Willingness to work onsite in Hagerstown or Frederick three to four days per week and travel approximately 15%–20%.

Experience That Would Stand Out

• Customer quality, warranty quality, field quality, reliability, or product-assurance leadership.
• Experience reducing warranty costs, repeat failures, or customer complaints.
• Experience with heavy equipment, commercial vehicles, automotive, aerospace, defense, rail, powertrain, material handling, or industrial machinery.
• Experience working across multiple plants, business units, or global teams.

You may currently be a Customer Quality Manager, Reliability Manager, Field Quality Manager, Quality Engineering Manager, Industrial Engineering Manager, Process Engineering Manager, Manufacturing Engineering Manager, Senior Quality Engineer, or Principal Engineer.

What matters most is that you have solved meaningful product-quality problems, can lead people across organizational boundaries, and are ready to take on greater responsibility and visibility.

• Exposure to senior leadership and a global manufacturing organization.
• The opportunity to influence multiple functions and facilities.

Our client is seeking a Supply Chain Digitization Lead to shape its enterprise approach to digital supply-chain transformation. Rather than solving isolated problems one at a time, you will work across the value chain to identify high-impact opportunities, evaluate their feasibility and business value, and create a prioritized, multi-year transformation roadmap.

This is a highly visible individual-contributor role with CIO and CPO sponsorship. You will collaborate with supply-chain subject-matter experts, business leaders and technology teams across four distinct businesses.

This is not a traditional supply-chain operations role, an ERP implementation position or a project-management assignment. It is an opportunity to determine what should be transformed, why it matters and how the strongest ideas should move forward.

What You’ll Own

• Assess opportunities across planning, procurement, inventory, logistics, warehousing and the broader supply-chain network.
• Translate advancements in AI, automation, analytics and digital applications into practical business solutions.
• Build and manage a prioritized portfolio of digital supply-chain opportunities.
• Develop business cases that consider ROI, cost, feasibility, data readiness, integration, scalability and risk.
• Create a multi-year transformation roadmap aligned with enterprise and business-unit priorities.
• Advance selected initiatives from problem definition through prototype, pilot and validation.
• Establish success measures tied to cost, service, inventory, productivity, working capital and risk reduction.
• Transition validated solutions to established development and implementation teams.
• Build alignment among executives, functional leaders, operational SMEs, analysts, developers and data engineers without relying on direct authority.

What You’ll Bring

• Experience translating digital technology, AI, automation or analytics into practical business solutions.
• Credibility within a complex industrial, manufacturing or supply-chain environment.
• Evidence of personally assessing opportunities and creating a digital or business-transformation roadmap.
• Experience moving an initiative from problem identification through business case, pilot, validation and adoption.
• The ability to influence executives, technology partners and operational stakeholders who do not report to you.
• Strong business judgment, including the ability to balance potential value with feasibility, cost, data readiness and organizational risk.
• The communication skills to make complex technology understandable, relevant and actionable for business leaders.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

• Establish an enterprise capability rather than inherit a completed roadmap.
• Influence future digital and AI investment decisions across four businesses.
• Work with executive sponsors and established business and technology resources.
• Solve complex challenges involving cost, risk, service, inventory, logistics, warehousing and network design.
• Build visibility and potential career opportunities through measurable enterprise impact.
