Director of Human Resources
About The Position
Bluegrass Supply Chain Services (BSC) is a growing third-party logistics (3PL) company with warehouse and distribution operations across Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Tennessee, Alabama, and Georgia. We provide customized warehousing, fulfillment, and value-added services to clients across multiple industries. People are our competitive advantage. Over the last four years, we’ve invested in Gallup-based training and development to build a workplace where team members are engaged, recognized, and set up to do their best work. We’re looking for an HR leader who takes that seriously. We are hiring a Director of Human Resources to lead our HR team and serve as a strategic partner to senior leadership. This is a hands-on leadership role — you’ll set HR strategy and stay close enough to the work to make sure it gets done. You will lead the HR Team, own the full HR function, and serve as the steward of BSC’s commitment to team member experience. This is an opportunity to build, not just maintain.
