Description

Director of Human Resources

Bluegrass Supply Chain Services • Bowling Green, KY • Full-Time

Salary: $100,000 – $125,000 per year

About Us

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.

The Role

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.

Requirements

What You’ll Do

• Lead and develop the HR team including Talent Acquisition, HR Generalists, Benefits, and HR Administration.

• Partner with the CEO and operations leadership on workforce planning, organizational design, and people strategy.

• Champion BSC’s team member engagement program, including Gallup Q12 practices and the seven primary drivers of team member experience.

• Direct full-cycle talent acquisition strategy for both hourly and salaried roles across multiple warehouse sites.

• Manage complex team member relations matters — investigations, performance management, and disciplinary processes.

• Oversee total rewards including health benefits, 401(k) safe harbor plan, leave administration, and compensation benchmarking.

• Build BSC’s learning and development infrastructure — manager orientation, frontline supervisor development, and compliance training.

• Ensure HR compliance across Kentucky and Ohio, including FMLA, ADA, Title VII, FLSA, and OSHA.

• Own Paylocity HRIS administration and HR metrics reporting to leadership.

• Partner with EHS and Operations on safety culture and Work to Zero commitments.

What We’re Looking For

Required:

• 7+ years of HR experience with at least 3 years in a senior HR role.

• Experience in logistics, 3PL, distribution, manufacturing, or a comparable multi-site operations environment.

• Demonstrated experience leading an HR team.

• Strong knowledge of employment law: FMLA, ADA, Title VII, FLSA, OSHA.

• Experience managing team member relations, investigations, and employment matters.

• Benefits administration and compensation analysis experience.

• Bachelor’s degree in Human Resources, Business Administration, or related field.

Preferred:

• SHRM-CP, SHRM-SCP, PHR, or SPHR certification.

• Paylocity HRIS experience.

• Experience with Gallup Q12 or employee engagement frameworks.

• Multi-state HR experience, particularly Kentucky and Ohio.

Compensation & Benefits

• Salary: $100,000 – $125,000 based on experience.

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance.

• 401(k) with safe harbor employer match.

• Life and disability insurance.

• Paid time off and paid holidays.

• On-site role based in Bowling Green, KY. Travel to BSC’s warehouse sites is required, up to 25% of the time.

Why BSC

• A leadership team that has invested four years in Gallup-based team member experience practices — uncommon in a company of our size.

• A growing company where the HR Director has real influence on the direction of the function.

• A genuine safety culture built on our Work to Zero commitment — not just a program.

• Bowling Green, KY — a growing community with a low cost of living, close to Nashville and Louisville.
