About this role

It starts with our culture ...

Common sense has never been common.

If it were, the world would be a different place. Things would run smoothly and on time. People would do what they say and say what they do.

Everything would be fair, without all the small talk. And banks would only sell you what you need. When a banker looked at a client, they wouldn’t just see a number, they’d see a dad or a mom or a graduate or a business owner.

Our Bankers understand the complexities of people’s lives and offer simple solutions.

That's the basics of Relationships. Fairness. Simplicity®.

When you choose our Company, you have an opportunity to make an impact beyond the walls of our buildings.

Through our banking relationships, investing, grants, and volunteerism, NBH Bank promotes the growth, revitalization and sustainability of the communities we serve. We believe that these are important elements in building and sustaining a successful organization and a positive, results-driven culture. We strive for all of our associates to feel welcome and empowered at work.

As the Director of Human Resources, you will provide leadership in developing and executing human resources strategies that support the organization's business plan and long-term direction.

You will serve as a trusted advisor to the Chief Human Resources Officer, senior management, and, as appropriate, the Compensation Committee on executive compensation, enterprise-wide total rewards, talent acquisition, benefits strategy, organizational effectiveness, performance management, retention, and succession planning.

You will translate the Bank's mission, vision, goals, and strategy into practical people initiatives and communicate them effectively to associates and external stakeholders.

You will lead the design, implementation, administration, and continuous improvement of Human Resources programs and operations, with direct oversight of executive compensation, broad-based compensation, recruiting, onboarding, employee benefits, leave administration, records management, associate relations, safety and health, and HR compliance.

You will establish service standards, operating procedures, controls, and metrics for these functions and develop the HR team responsible for delivering them.

For executive compensation, you will support the annual compensation cycle and Compensation Committee process, including preparation and review of market benchmarking, peer-group data, compensation recommendations, incentive plan design and administration, equity award processes, employment and severance arrangements, change-in-control provisions, executive perquisites, and compensation-related disclosures.

You will partner with Legal, Finance, Payroll, Accounting, Tax, and external advisors to promote accurate administration, effective governance, and compliance with applicable requirements, including Section 16, proxy disclosure, Section 409A, Section 280G, and applicable stock exchange rules.

For talent acquisition and benefits, you will lead workforce planning and recruiting strategy for high-volume, professional, and executive roles; oversee sourcing, selection, offer development, background screening, onboarding, vendor performance, and recruiting analytics; and strengthen internal mobility and succession pipelines.

You will also oversee the strategy, design, funding, administration, and communication of health and welfare, retirement, wellbeing, and leave programs, including renewals, broker and vendor management, plan compliance, enrollment, associate education, cost analysis, and evaluation of program effectiveness.

All associates are expected to maintain current knowledge and consistent compliance with regulations and bank policies and procedures related to the position, including but not limited to Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) and Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) requirements.
