Partner Heritage Distribution Holdings | Based in Nashville, TN Help a fast-growing, $1B+ wholesale distributor discover what great HR can do! This is not an administrative role. You'll be a true business partner, building trust with leaders and shaping HR from the ground up.

Assess our current onboarding processes across businesses and recommend improvements that create a consistent, high-quality experience for new hires. Where You'll Make a Strategic Impact Lead initiatives around topics such as employee engagement and talent management, and help leaders understand why these matter to growing their business. Help shape and implement our company-wide HR Roadmap.
