Senior Human Resources Business Partner

Senior Human Resources Business Partner

Location: Bloomington, MN (4 days onsite / 1 remote) Compensation: $130,000 – $150,000 base + bonus potential (5–10%) Industry: Financial Services / Regulated Environment Team Size: Org-wide ~2,000 employees

Position Overview: We are supporting a high-growth, mission-driven financial services institution in identifying a Senior HR Business Partner (HRBP) to serve as the primary HR leader for their Twin Cities market, supporting a highly visible leadership team and employee base. This is a key hire during a broader transformation and modernization of their HR operating model. The role is both strategic and hands-on, ideal for someone energized by building processes in a rapidly growing, regulated environment. This is one of the final pieces in a broader HR team buildout—reporting into a highly collaborative and forward-thinking VP of HRBP, and partnering directly with senior leadership across multiple business lines.

Why This Role Is Unique: Build and Anchor HR in the Twin Cities: You'll be the on-the-ground partner for ~300–500 employees in the Minneapolis market. This is the first fully embedded HRBP in the region, with a growing physical footprint and engaged leadership team. Collaborative, Value-Driven Culture: This company prides itself on hiring people-first leaders who want to make an impact in the communities they serve. Strategic Growth & Transformation: With a new HR leadership team in place, they're evolving legacy processes into scalable, people-centered solutions. Your voice will help shape how business partnering is understood and delivered.

Key Responsibilities

• Strategic Partnership: Embed yourself with senior leaders in the Minneapolis office to align people strategy with business priorities. Drive organizational design conversations, influence talent decisions, and facilitate workforce planning. Contribute to change initiatives as the business continues to scale.
• Employee Relations & Compliance: Act as a trusted advisor in employee relations—leading complex investigations, handling performance issues, and managing accommodations and leaves with empathy and precision. Stay ahead of employment law changes; ensure compliance in a regulated industry (ADA, FMLA, EEOC, etc.).
• Coaching & Talent Development: Guide and support leaders through coaching, feedback conversations, and performance calibration. Collaborate with Talent, L&D, and Total Rewards to align people solutions with broader organizational needs.
• Program Buildout: Help define and optimize scalable, human-centered HR processes across your business units. Partner with internal COEs (recruiting, rewards, etc.) to ensure consistency and high-quality execution.

Requirements

What You Bring: 7+ years of progressive HR experience, including 3+ years of direct employee relations leadership. Proven success in regulated, high-accountability industries—financial services highly preferred. Experience advising senior business leaders across distributed teams or regional locations. Depth in workplace investigations, ADA/accommodation processes, and performance management. Strong judgment, emotional intelligence, and the ability to build trust across leadership styles. Comfortable working in ambiguity and excited by a "build while driving" environment. SHRM-CP/SCP or PHR/SPHR certification preferred.

The Ideal Background: This is a great fit for someone from a mid-to-large institution, who wants to step into a role with influence and autonomy while still benefiting from a cohesive, values-aligned HR function. Prior experience navigating complex matrixed organizations is a plus.

Additional Details: Team Structure: Reports to the VP of HR Business Partnerships (remote), with dotted-line partnership to a regional executive group in the Twin Cities. Collaborates frequently with COEs across Talent, Rewards, and Operations. Office Environment: Core office is located in Bloomington, MN with additional nearby branches. Hybrid work model, with flexibility built into the schedule.
