Join MedSpeed and help deliver health! We're a healthcare logistics company partnering with organizations nationwide to transport vital medical supplies and specimens. At MedSpeed, teamwork, integrity, and growth drive everything we do. If you're passionate, driven, and ready to make a real impact, we want to hear from you. Today, we have a nationwide presence with locations across the U.S., yet we've never lost the entrepreneurial spirit and close-knit culture that defined us from day one.

Our people are at the heart of what we do and how we support our customers. We work as one team, we keep our promises, and we get better every day. These aren't just words; they shape how we support each other, grow together, and deliver real impact.

We're hiring a Director of Employee Relations to lead and enhance employee relations across a growing, multi-state organization with a strong focus on supporting a large non-exempt workforce. This position is responsible for overseeing complex employee matters, guiding team members ensuring legal compliance, and driving employee-focused programs and policies that align with business goals. This role will lead a team of HR Managers and act as the point person for all employee relations metrics, investigations, legal matters, and process improvements. The Director will also manage key vendor partnerships and be a strategic partner to field leadership and senior HR leadership.

What You'll Do :

  • Act as the company's employee relations expert, leading complex investigations, resolving high-risk matters, and partnering with legal on EEOC and compliance issues.
  • Support and elevate our hourly workforce by building scalable, frontline-focused ER programs.
  • Lead and mentor a team of regional HR Managers across multiple markets and states.
  • Own and optimize performance management and recognition programs that drive engagement and accountability.
  • Be the HRIS point person for employee relations, developing dashboards, reporting on trends, and driving data-informed decisions.
  • Identify and lead process improvements, special projects, and strategic HR initiatives.
  • Manage key vendor relationships tied to employee relations tools, systems, or recognition programs.
  • Travel to field locations to provide in-person support, training, and partnership.

What You Bring :

  • 8+ years of progressive HR experience with a strong focus on employee relations and supporting an hourly / frontline workforce.
  • 3+ years managing HR professionals or field HR teams.
  • Strong working knowledge of multi-state employment laws and compliance standards.
  • Proven experience managing sensitive investigations and partnering with legal on high-risk matters.
  • Proficiency with HRIS systems (UKG, ADP, etc.), especially for reporting and metrics.
  • Strong analytical skills with a data-driven mindset.
  • Excellent communication, facilitation, and coaching skills.
  • Ability to travel up to 15% to markets and field locations.
  • Why You'll Love Being a MedSpeeder :

  • You'll be part of a mission-driven company that values its people, especially those on the front lines.
  • Your work will have a direct and measurable impact on employee experience, retention, and engagement.
  • You'll join a collaborative HR team that values innovation, ownership, and continuous improvement.
  • You'll lead programs and projects that matter, from compliance and process to culture and connection.
  • MedSpeeders enjoy full benefits and a positive, team-oriented culture built on trust and transparency.
  • Our Commitment to You :

    MedSpeed understands that meaningful work begins with being part of a company that prioritizes your well-being. That's why, in addition to a collaborative and purpose-driven culture, we offer benefits that support your life both at work and beyond it. This includes medical, dental, and vision coverage; flexible spending accounts; paid time off to recharge; and a 401(k) to help you plan for the future.
