Regional HR Director

About the Company

Collective Residential is transforming property management and investment through innovation, technology, and people. As a private equity-backed platform, we acquire, integrate, and optimize operating companies and real estate portfolios across the U.S., building a modern, tech-enabled foundation for scalable growth.

As we continue to scale, we are seeking a seasoned Regional Director, Human Resources who will serve as a strategic human resources business partner to an assigned group of portfolio companies (PortCos) within Collective Residential. Reporting to the SVP, People Operations, this role is a key member of the HR leadership team. The Regional Director delivers both strategic counsel and hands-on human resources support, partnering closely with PortCo executive leadership, operations leaders, and first-line managers. They will model and integrate our people-first values — leading with empathy, accountability, technology-forward thinking, and radical candor — into our culture to build engaged, well-supported teams that best serve our residents.

Collective Residential operates in a high-growth, entrepreneurial environment. Our pace of acquisition and integration means this role will be in constant change and requires quick, adaptable thinking to keep up with the growth of the business.

Responsibilities

● Serve as a member of each PortCo's leadership team, acting as the dedicated HR business partner to leadership and managers, balancing day-to-day tactical support with strategic, proactive leadership guidance.

● Facilitate the full integration of PortCos into the Collective Residential framework, partnering with the SVP, People Operations and Prestige PEO.

● Partner with local leadership teams to design and lead proactive employee engagement strategies, communications, and initiatives that build a positive, connected culture within assigned PortCos, aligned with corporate values.

● Be visible and engaged, developing relationships and building trust with leadership teams and managers on-site and virtually across assigned PortCos.

● Coach managers and leaders through employee relations and disciplinary situations, promoting clear expectation-setting, direct and candid feedback, and a culture of accountability, including documented performance management when expectations are not met.

● Partner with and leverage the centralized Recruiting COE for the majority of hiring needs across assigned PortCos; serve as the intermediary for recruiting escalations.

● Own complex employee relations matters in partnership with senior leaders: resolving concerns, mediating conflicts, conducting investigations, and guiding managers on consistent, compliant policy application.
