At Atrium Hospitality, we know that great businesses are built on strong teams. We're looking for a Director of Human Resources who will not only support our property leaders and associates - but also influence culture, drive meaningful business outcomes, and leave a lasting impact. At Atrium, teamwork isn't just a word-it's how we succeed together. Hear from Sofia a current DHR:

"Atrium has played a significant role in my growth as a leader by encouraging me to expand my knowledge, participate in the supervisory skills program, and learn new aspects of the business. Having a supportive mentor and an inspiring boss has also been instrumental in my development."

• Be a strategic advisor to operational leaders on all employment matters, including: Talent Acquisition & Recruitment, Compensation Strategy & Planning, Benefits Education & Administration, Employee Development, Training & Career Pathing, Performance Management, Employee Relations and Conflict Resolution, Compliance Management and Risk Mitigation
• Bring Atrium's Core Values to life by creating a positive, inclusive culture through events, recognition programs, and open communication.
• Lead full-cycle recruiting by collaborating with hiring managers, focusing on candidate experience, and leveraging innovative tools and strategies.

• Develop talent and leadership by partnering with Regional and Corporate leaders to provide coaching, training, and performance management for associates.
• Ensure safety and wellbeing, co-chairing the property safety committee and leading Workers' Compensation processes with care and precision.
• Foster a transparent, approachable environment, where associates feel heard, understood, and supported - with a strong open-door policy and multiple communication channels.
• And of course - roll up your sleeves and lead by example when new challenges or opportunities arise.

Why This Role Is Perfect for You:

• You've built a career on trust, leadership, and follow-through - and you want to be part of a company that values that.
• You know that HR is about more than policies - it's about people, partnerships, and problem-solving.
• You're energized by coaching and mentoring others and making a real difference in their careers.
• You enjoy working autonomously, while still being part of a collaborative team that supports each other and works toward shared goals.
• You appreciate stability and structure, but you're also not afraid to challenge the status quo and bring new ideas to the table.
