As Senior Director, Human Resources of the Aerospace Group, you will serve as a strategic partner to the Operating Group President, leading the people strategy to support business performance and long-term growth.

You will also report to the Corporate Vice President, Health & Human Resources, ensuring alignment with enterprise-wide HR strategies, policies and practices, and upholding consistency in employee relations, compliance, and organizational development.
