We are seeking a HR Business Partner Director to serve as the lead strategic architect for our global Operations organization. In this executive-facing role, you will partner directly with the Head of Global Operations and globally distributed leadership team to design and execute a unified talent strategy that balances cross-border organizational goals with highly localized execution. You will lead transformative people programs across the employee lifecycle, driving organizational design, high-performance standards, and operational and financial rigor, while leveraging deep business acumen and data-driven insights.

Responsibilities:

• Act as a strategic thought-partner to the Global Head of Operations and Operations Leadership Team, translating long-term business goals into a comprehensive, multi-year talent strategy.
• Lead large-scale organizational design and effectiveness initiatives; proactively identify structural gaps and optimize workforce location strategies, leveraging low-cost region scaling models to balance service delivery excellence with operational efficiency.
• Leverage deep business acumen, operational KPIs and people analytics to diagnose organizational challenges and drive alignment across highly matrixed global teams.
• Design and scale comprehensive career frameworks and succession plans, ensuring clear pathways that incentivize high performance and support long-term retention of critical talent.
• Maintain a pulse on organizational health and global trends, proactively providing executive-level counsel on risks to leadership while implementing data-driven strategies to course-correct as needed.
• Drive transformative people programs such as performance management, engagement and workforce planning strategies that align with Xometry’s high-performance culture and growth trajectory.
• Manage complex employee relations, ensuring a consistent, high-performance culture while mitigating risk and maintaining high standards of integrity.
• Enable a global-to-local HR framework, partnering closely with regional and local HR partners in the U.S., Germany, India, Turkey and China to ensure global initiatives are seamlessly integrated, compliant, and culturally relevant.
• Partner with Talent Acquisition to build robust pipelines in key emerging and low-cost delivery markets, optimizing internal mobility and global talent deployment strategies.

Qualifications:

• 10+ years of progressive HR experience, with at least 5+ years as a HRBP directly supporting global Operations, Supply Chain, or highly matrixed, high-growth global organizations

• Experience leading the design, deployment, and adoption of large-scale talent programs (e.g., succession planning, career pathing, and performance frameworks) from the ground up
• Exceptional communication and executive presence with the ability to challenge, influence, and coach senior leaders effectively
• A strategic thinker who can pivot between high-level conceptual planning and the "hands-on" execution required in a fluid, high-growth environment
• High comfort level with ambiguity; a self-starter who can drive clarity and resolution for complex, multi-dimensional issues.
• Strong judgment in managing complex employee relations and organizational transitions with a focus on risk mitigation and cultural integrity
• Proven track record of success working in a global environment, effectively leveraging local and regional HR teams to execute global strategies
