As part of the People Experience leadership team, you will work alongside senior global leaders to enable a complex, fast-growing program operating in a highly matrixed, multi-stakeholder environment. About the role The Director of Human Resources (HR) is a senior global leader responsible for the end-to-end employee lifecycle for a large-scale, multi-hundred-million-dollar global security program. This role leads the strategy, design, and execution of global HR frameworks that support workforce planning, talent acquisition, performance management, compensation, employee relations, and leadership effectiveness across regions. This role operates at the intersection of multiple complex stakeholder groups including corporate Securitas, local country organizations, client partners, and embedded program team members worldwide. The Director of HR ensures HR strategies are scalable, compliant, and operationally effective, translating business and client needs into clear people practices that enable consistent execution across geographies. A critical component of this role is leading a matrixed global HR organization that has key team members embedded within multi-disciplinary teams in North America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia. What you’ll do You will lead how the organization delivers its people strategy across a complex, global program—translating leadership direction into clear, scalable, and executable HR practices. This role is responsible for building the systems, processes, and operating model that enable leaders and teams to perform consistently across regions. As mentioned above, you will design, implement, and continuously improve global HR frameworks across the full employee lifecycle while ensuring these frameworks balance operational needs, client expectations, and regional requirements. You will build and lead a high-performing, matrixed global HR team, setting clear expectations, streamlining workflows, and driving consistent execution. You will partner closely with senior leaders on organizational design, leadership performance, and workforce transitions, navigating complex stakeholder environments to ensure people processes are trusted, practical, and effective. What you need to apply We are looking for a seasoned HR leader with a bachelor’s degree in human resources, business, or a related field, and 10+ years of progressive HR experience, including at least 3–5 years at the director level leading global or multi-region HR teams. Proven experience building and scaling HR organizations in complex, matrixed environments is required. Ideal candidates will have deep expertise across the employee lifecycle, including global talent acquisition, performance management, employee relations, compensation, organizational design, and compliance across multiple countries and labor environments. Direct experience leveraging people data to drive insights and decision-making is essential. Strong leadership presence, stakeholder management, and communication skills are critical, as this role regularly engages with senior executives, client leaders, and corporate partners. You must be comfortable navigating ambiguity, influencing outcomes across complex organizational structures, and translating strategy into practical, executable HR solutions. This position involves travel (30% of the time), so a passion for travel (and a valid passport) and the flexibility to accommodate domestic and international trips are a must. It will also require you to work nights and weekends on occasion, so you’ll need to be comfortable flexing your schedule when needed. All applicants to this role must have reliable means of communication, reliable means of transportation (public or private) to get to/from work, the legal right to work in the country where the position is located, and the ability to speak, read and write in English proficiently. What you’ll get We believe great work deserves great rewards—and we’re committed to staying competitive. This role offers a base salary of $200,000 to $235,000. That range is based on the Greater Seattle Area and may flex depending on your experience and location. We’ve got you covered with medical, dental, and vision insurance, along with life insurance, parental leave, and paid time off. The extra stuff This position requires—with or without reasonable accommodation—the physical and mental ability to perform all essential job functions effectively. This includes maintaining composure under pressure while interacting with clients, authorities, executives, and staff; working independently without direct supervision; and managing multiple tasks simultaneously. The role involves regular use of a computer and keyboard, frequent lifting or moving of items up to 10 pounds, and occasional lifting of up to 25 pounds. Visual acuity for both near and far distances, as well as the ability to adjust focus, is required. The position may involve handling sensitive or confidential information and requires flexibility in scheduling to meet operational demands. Apply tot his job
