Job Title:
Lead, HR Business Partner
Job Description:
The Role:
The Human Resources Business Partner (HRBP) will support Entegris’ Bedford and
Franklin sites, partnering with a diverse manufacturing and office-based
workforce across two business divisions. With approximately 400 employees today
and growth expected to reach roughly 500 employees by year-end, this is a
high-impact opportunity to help shape a rapidly evolving organization. The HRBP
will serve as a trusted advisor and hands-on partner to site, functional, and
division leaders, translating business priorities into practical people
strategies that strengthen leadership capability, organizational effectiveness,
employee engagement, and retention. Success requires the ability to influence
without direct authority, connect priorities across a highly matrixed
environment, and bring clarity and momentum when ownership is shared or
conditions are ambiguous. The ideal candidate is energized by complexity and
growth, brings sound judgment to sensitive employee matters, and can move
seamlessly between strategic consultation and disciplined execution.
What You’ll Do:
* Translate business strategy into clear, data-driven people priorities,
actions, and initiatives that support site performance, workforce expansion,
and sustainable growth.
* Serve as the primary onsite HR partner for employees and leaders at the
Bedford and Franklin, Massachusetts sites, triaging issues based on urgency,
business impact, employee experience, compliance risk, and competing
priorities.
* Navigate a highly matrixed organization spanning two business divisions and
multiple functions; build alignment among stakeholders with different
priorities, clarify decision rights, and influence timely, enterprise-minded
outcomes without relying on formal authority.
* Partner with plant and functional leaders to strengthen leadership
effectiveness, accountability, and execution discipline, with particular
focus on coaching and accelerating the capability of newer people leaders.
* Lead and support sensitive, complex employee relations matters and workplace
investigations, ensuring a timely, thorough, objective, well-documented, and
consistent process; identify themes and recommend actions that reduce risk
and improve the work environment.
* Provide practical coaching to leaders on performance management, feedback,
conflict resolution, corrective action, policy application, and difficult
employee conversations.
* Lead change management efforts that support organizational growth and
transformation, driving adoption of new processes, systems, structures, and
ways of working across diverse stakeholder groups.
* Act as a catalyst for culture transformation by addressing behaviors that
limit performance, including resistance to change, inconsistent process
adherence, unclear ownership, and reliance on workarounds.
* Guide organizational design, workforce planning, talent, and leadership
development efforts that strengthen end-to-end accountability and
cross-functional collaboration during rapid growth.
* Partner with HR Centers of Excellence and peer HR teams to deliver
integrated, scalable programs while adapting solutions to the operational
realities of the sites.
* Maintain a visible, credible presence with direct labor teams across a 24/7
shift schedule, building trusted relationships at all levels and developing a
deep understanding of manufacturing operations.
What We Seek:
* Bachelor’s degree in Human Resources, Business Administration, Organizational
Development, or a related field.
* At least 7 years of progressive, employee-facing HR experience, including
meaningful HR business partner or senior HR generalist experience in a
manufacturing environment.
* Demonstrated success operating in a complex, matrixed organization and
influencing leaders across functions, business units, and reporting lines.
* Strong employee relations expertise, including experience independently
leading sensitive and complex workplace investigations and translating
findings into clear, defensible recommendations.
* Proven ability to coach both experienced and newly appointed people leaders,
build manager capability, and establish accountability while maintaining
trusted relationships.
* Experience supporting a sizable, rapidly growing employee population and
helping leaders anticipate the organizational, talent, and employee-relations
implications of growth.
* Exceptional judgment, executive presence, and communication skills, with the
ability to simplify complexity, address conflict directly, and tailor
messages to audiences at every organizational level.
* Calm and decisive under pressure, with the resilience to manage competing
priorities, sensitive issues, and ambiguity without losing clarity, pace, or
attention to detail.
* Ability to work independently with general direction while collaborating
effectively across a broader HR ecosystem.
* High integrity and discretion when handling confidential information.
* Ability to work nights and weekends as needed to support a 24/7 manufacturing
workforce.
What We Offer:
This is an opportunity to take on a visible, influential HR role at an important
point in the sites’ evolution. The successful candidate will have meaningful
access to senior leaders, the ability to shape how the organization scales, and
broad exposure across employee relations, leadership development, organizational
design, talent, culture, and change. At Entegris, we invest in our
employees, promote from within, and recognize demonstrated impact and alignment
with our PACE values.
Our total rewards package goes above and beyond just a paycheck.
Whether you’re looking to build your career, improve your health, or protect
your wealth, we offer generous benefits to help you achieve your goals.
* Compensation: $135,000- $150,000 per year range with actual pay dependent on
candidate overall skills for the role

to recharge
