Director of Human Resources

We're not just filling an HR role. We're hiring the architect of our people strategy — the leader who will build the teams, shape the culture, and develop the future leaders who will carry our growth across Central Florida. We need great people to expand, and we need you to drive the planning that gets them in the door, grows them, and keeps them.

If you believe a winning restaurant starts with a winning team, this is where you build the engine behind it all.

You’ll step in as the Director of HR & Administration for our growing group of five Culver's restaurants — fully accountable for how we attract, hire, develop, and keep great people. From day one you’ll be treated like a strategic partner: reporting directly to the COO, with a seat at the leadership table and real ownership of the people function. This isn’t a back-office role.

It’s the role that determines whether we have the teams and future leaders we need to open our next restaurant — and the one after that. The Culver's brand gives us one of the most trusted guest experiences in QSR; your job is to build the people behind it.

Foster a strong, winning team culture across every location. Partner with GMs to make Culver's the place people want to work — where great performance is seen, hospitality is lived, and team members stay and grow. Culture isn’t an accident here; it’s something you build on purpose.

Own recruiting end to end — compelling job postings, competitive market pay analysis, and a proactive candidate pipeline so we’re never starting from zero. Run first-round screening for GM, management, and leadership roles, and make sure every new hire gets a strong, organized start. Build the bench before we need it.

Develop the next generation of Culver's leaders. Partner with GMs to ensure required training is completed on time for team members, managers, and GMs, and build the development and cross-training paths that turn today’s crew into tomorrow’s shift leaders, managers, and operators. Our growth depends on the leaders you grow.

Serve as the primary resource for HR questions and employee relations across all locations; coordinate health insurance and run a smooth annual open enrollment; support accurate, on-time payroll with our provider; keep us compliant with employment law; and provide light office and administrative support that keeps our multi-unit operation running.

What we’re looking for is rare — a people focused leader with an ownership mindset who treats our staffing and culture like the growth engine it is.

You’ve made previous workplaces better, and you can point to how.

Time-to-fill, turnover, training completion, market pay — you have a point of view on all of them and know how they impact our business.

Someone is a leader today because of a plan you built, not luck.

When an employee issue or a staffing gap shows up, you own it, solve it, and make sure it stays solved.

You plan for the people we’ll need to open the next location — before we need them.
