Human Resources Director

Shape the People Strategy Behind One of Ohio's Fastest-Growing Service Platforms

Exscape Group is scaling fast, through organic growth and strategic acquisitions, and we're looking for an HR Director who wants to build, not just maintain. This is a rare opportunity to architect a people function from the ground up: designing scalable systems, unifying culture across a growing family of entities, and partnering directly with executive leadership on the decisions that shape our future.

You'll join a collaborative, talented team in a hybrid role that blends strategic autonomy with the energy of an in-person, fast-moving culture. If you thrive on variety, one day deep in workforce analytics, the next leading M&A integration, the next coaching a branch leader through a tough conversation, this role was built for you.

Build an HR roadmap that flexes with growth, seasonal demand, and M&A activity. Design org structures alongside executive leadership and lead cultural integration across newly acquired entities.

Own recruitment strategy across corporate, branch, field, and seasonal roles — including our H-2B visa program. Build leadership pipelines for crew leads and supervisors, and shape career pathways that keep top talent growing with us.

Standardize pay practices across entities, lead open enrollment, and bring market-informed thinking to compensation strategy tied directly to business performance.

Serve as a trusted advisor to senior leadership on the complex stuff — investigations, restructuring, employment matters — while keeping us compliant across every jurisdiction we operate in.

Take the reins on our HRIS ecosystem (Aspire, Inova, Intuit) and build the dashboards that turn workforce data into strategic decisions.

Lead HR diligence on new acquisitions and build the playbooks that make every integration smoother than the last.

Shape how our shared services model works — clarifying roles, workflows, and support between our centralized team and branch leaders across the platform.

Be the voice behind the moments that matter — policy rollouts, org changes, engagement campaigns — ensuring every message reflects who we are.

• Bachelor's degree in HR or related field, plus 5–10+ years of progressive HR leadership experience
• Experience in PE-backed, seasonal, or field-service industries strongly preferred
• A track record of leading M&A HR integration and scaling workforce infrastructure
• Deep knowledge of multi-state compliance, H-2B programs, and labor relations
• The kind of leadership presence that drives cultural change and earns trust at every level
