Over the last 20 years our commitment to innovative technology has earned the trust of more than 1,700 organizations, governments, and institutions globally, solidifying our role in protecting the world’s critical infrastructure and securing our way of life.
The Position
The Director, Human Resources – Americas is a critical leadership role reporting directly to our Global Head of HR, Jennifer Erfurth, and serving as a key business partner to our U.S. leadership team.
This is not a maintenance role. It is a build, scale, and lead opportunity — perfect for someone who thrives in a high-growth environment and wants to leave a mark on how a global technology company grows, leads, and engages its people.
You will lead the HR function for the Americas region, drive strategic people initiatives, and develop programs that strengthen leadership, elevate culture, and enable high performance.
If you are passionate about transforming potential into performance and working alongside an executive team that values your voice, this is your stage.
This is an in-office position based in our global corporate HQ in Tampa; you will be instrumental in helping us continue creating a collaborative in-office environment with stronger relationships and cultural integration to embody and invigorate OPSWAT’s culture.
What You Will Be Doing
- Serve as a strategic business partner to the Americas leadership team, aligning people strategies with business objectives.
- Build and scale core HR programs that enhance organizational health, capability, and engagement.
- Lead initiatives around the future of work, leadership development, and workforce planning.
- Shape and implement HR policies, practices, and systems that keep pace with OPSWAT’s growth.
- Partner closely with global HR teams to deliver an exceptional employee experience across the lifecycle.
- Coach and develop managers to lead effectively through change and growth.
- Use data and analytics to tell a story, influence outcomes, and make informed decisions.
- Oversee all aspects of employee relations, ensuring fairness, compliance, and cultural alignment.
- Lead, mentor, and grow a talented regional HR team focused on speed, accountability, and impact.
What We Need From You
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in HR or related field.
- 10+ years of HR leadership experience in a fast-paced, global technology environment.
- Proven ability to balance strategic thinking with hands-on execution.
- Deep knowledge of U.S. employment law, organizational design, talent management, and employee engagement.
- Strong business acumen and executive presence — you speak the language of both people and performance.
- Demonstrated success building high-performing teams and leading through transformation.
- Data-driven mindset with the ability to turn insights into action.
- A sense of urgency, humor, and heart — you lead with clarity, empathy, and courage.
