  • Job Description
  • General Summary :
  • We are seeking a strategic and hands-on Director, HR Business Partner to support one or more sub-functions within the Biopharmaceutical Sciences & Manufacturing Organization (BSMO) during a pivotal phase of growth and innovation. In this role, you will be a visible HR leader within the sub-function, serving as a trusted advisor to senior leaders and their teams. You will shape the people and organization strategy, enable business outcomes, and foster a high-performance, agile culture across a regulated manufacturing and technical development environment.This is a senior individual contributor role that leads through influence—orchestrating outcomes across a matrix, aligning cross-functional stakeholders, and leveraging specialist HR centers of excellence to deliver integrated solutions.
  • Key Duties and Responsibilities :
  • Strategic HR & Business Partnership
  • Serve as the primary HR partner to one or more senior leaders for assigned BSMO sub-function(s); translate business strategy into a prioritized, integrated people and organization plan.
  • Influence executive decision-making through clear options, risk / benefit tradeoffs, and data-backed recommendations that connect talent levers to operational, quality, and cost outcomes.
  • Organization Design, Capability, & Operating Model
  • Lead org design and evolution for growth, complexity, and scale (e.g., standing up new capabilities, optimizing spans / layers, clarifying interfaces and governance).
  • Define and build critical capabilities, partnering with leaders to close skill gaps via targeted build / buy / borrow strategies.
  • Strategic Workforce Planning (SWP) & Succession
  • Own the sub-function’s multi-year workforce plan aligned to long-range strategy, capacity, and budget—headcount, skills, pipeline, and location strategy. Ensure the plan aligns to the broader enterprise level plans for BSMO and Vertex.
  • Drive succession readiness for pivotal roles; develop diverse slates and growth plans that ensure continuity for GMP operations and technical / scientific leadership.
  • Talent, Performance, & Leadership Effectiveness
  • Elevate leadership performance at the senior levels and with their teams : build management routines, coach through inflection points, and raise the performance bar with clarity and fairness.
  • Partner with Talent Management to deploy targeted programs (e.g., high-potential acceleration, career pathways, technical leadership tracks).
  • Culture, Engagement, & Change Leadership
  • Diagnose and shift culture in alignment with BSMO strategic culture roadmap and steward change for network expansions, tech transfers, or portfolio pivots.
  • Design and execute change plans (case for change, stakeholder maps, comms, adoption metrics) across multi-site and cross-functional contexts.
  • People Analytics & Insights
  • Leverage data to illuminate trends (e.g., attrition risk in critical skills, shift staffing dynamics, succession health).
  • Convert insights into simple, compelling narratives that build alignment and prompt action; measure impact and iterate.
  • HR Operating Model & Governance
  • Orchestrate with Total Rewards, Talent Acquisition, People Experience, Talent Management, and Strategic Analytics to deliver integrated solutions at pace.
  • Ensure flawless execution of core cycles (performance, calibration, compensation planning) with equity, transparency, and business relevance.
  • Knowledge and Skills :
  • Experience developing and implementing HR strategies
  • Expert-level experience developing strategic workforce plans, from conception to implementation
  • Highly experienced in talent management, succession planning, and career growth and development
  • Strong experience managing and / or leading culture and change management or organizational effectiveness initiatives
  • Experience and expert understanding of management development, employee relations, data and analytics, diversity and inclusion
  • Education and Experience :
  • Bachelor’s degree or equivalent in management, human resources, business, or related discipline.
  • 10+ years of progressive HR experience,
  • including HRBP leadership in a regulated manufacturing environment (biotech / pharma strongly preferred).
  • Demonstrated impact partnering with senior-level clients in complex, matrixed organizations; proven ability to lead without direct authority.
  • Expertise in organization design, strategic workforce planning, succession, and talent management, with experience in technical / manufacturing populations preferred.
  • Fluency with people data and financial / budget trade-offs; able to link talent decisions to operational, quality, safety, and cost outcomes.
  • Depth in change leadership and organizational effectiveness with measurable results in high-stakes, time-bound transformations.
  • Experience across GMP manufacturing and technical development (e.g., MS&T, process development, QA / QC, supply / tech transfer) and partnering with site and network leaders.
  • Track record building capabilities at scale (e.g., new modalities, network expansion, digital / automation in labs / plants).
  • Exposure to global or multi-site contexts; comfort operating across time zones and cross-functional leadership teams.#LI-EE1
