Director of Human Capital
SkyWater Search is partnering with a fast-paced, growing public company looking to professionalize the HR function by hiring an HR leader who is equally strategic and hands-on. We are prioritizing candidates who have experience in a large company setting, combined with a proven ability to lead in a rapidly scaling, small or midsize company. This person will lead everything from talent acquisition strategy, talent development, HR operations, culture building, and will serve as a strategic advisor to the leadership team.
This is an in-person role, so candidates must be local to the Twin Cities and willing to work primarily in the office.
