People and Culture Business Partner

Baltimore, MD | Hybrid—3 days onsite | Regional travel across Maryland, Virginia and North Carolina

Daniels Health is scaling rapidly across the United States, expanding the medical waste infrastructure and field-service capabilities that help healthcare organisations protect people, communities and the environment.

We are seeking a commercially astute, operationally credible People and Culture Business Partnerto help lead the next stage of this growth across Maryland, Virginia and North Carolina. This is an opportunity to operate at the intersection of people strategy, frontline operations and organisational performance—partnering directly with leaders responsible for large, geographically dispersed hourly work forces.

You will not be confined to a traditional HR support role.

You will lead complex employee and labour relations matters, elevate manager capability, and ensure Daniels Health maintains the high standards of compliance, fairness and culture needed to support sustainable growth.

• Partnering with operational leaders to develop workforce plans that support growth, productivity, succession and capability requirements across the region.
• Acting as a strategic adviser on employee relations, labour relations, wage-and-hour matters, performance management and employment-risk mitigation.
• Coaching leaders and supervisors to handle challenging people situations with confidence, consistency and sound commercial judgment.
• Building proactive engagement and retention strategies for a predominantly hourly, frontline workforce, using turnover, attendance and workforce data to identify root causes and prioritise action.
• Leading initiatives that strengthen leadership effectiveness, employee experience and accountability across distributed operational teams.
• Designing and delivering practical manager training on employment law, people leadership, performance conversations, investigations and core HR processes.
• Partnering with the Director of People & Culture and cross-functional stakeholders on organisational design, workforce planning and change initiatives.
• Supporting consistent, high-quality onboarding, benefits communication and employee lifecycle processes that improve early-tenure engagement and retention.
• Contributing to the effective administration of compensation and performance-management programs, ensuring equitable, compliant and business-aligned application.
• Maintaining rigorous compliance with federal, state and local employment legislation, including wage-and-hour requirements across multiple jurisdictions.
• Bringing a continuous-improvement mindset to HR processes, using insight and operational feedback to simplify, strengthen and scale the employee experience.
