Job description
RC Mowers is seeking an experienced Human Resources professional to play a vital role in creating a culture of impeccable production, industry leadership, workplace satisfaction and healthy growth—this all stems from the hands-on care and development of our “human resources.”
Help us take the hard-earned potential built over the past five years to the next sustainable and substantial level. And then, let’s do it again. Join in, and add to, a culture that celebrates the work of skilled hands and sharp minds. A culture that sees failure as one less obstacle to success. A culture that recognizes you as valuable and exceptional.
We are RC Mowers, based in Suamico, Wisconsin (a suburb of Green Bay). We design and manufacture Autonomous Mowing Robots™ and Remote-Operated Robotic Mowers for commercial use. In reality, we are redefining the business of mowing. We do this by eliminating persistent industry problems and revealing lucrative industry opportunities. We thrive on innovation, from the front desk to the back bay; we believe great ideas are not the realm of only one department or job description. To that point, RC Mowers was named one of The World’s Most Innovative Companies of 2023 by Fast Company magazine.
As our Director of Human Resources, you are responsible for defining our Human Resources strategic, long-term vision and executing that vision, while being willing to dig in on the day-to-day and less-than “executive” tasks. Full disclosure: The HR department at RC Mowers is currently a team of (almost) one. While you won’t be our first HR professional, you will be the first to build your team from the ground up. You’ll have tremendous influence on feeding the environment and future of this company, but you must be willing to help us bake the bread.
If you have a passion for Human Resources and all the positive good it can bring—talk to us. If you understand the collaborative nature of the best businesses—talk to us. If you have exceptional executive skills and a grab-a-handful-of-rope-and-pull mentality—talk to us.
Our Human Resources at Work:
· RCM was founded in 2018. In 2023, after doubling our revenue year over year, we built and moved into a new manufacturing and administrative facility in Suamico.
· We build USA-made Autonomous Mowing Robots™ and Remote-Operated Robotic Mowers with a NE Wisconsin workforce that knows what it means and feels like to do a good day’s work. When sourcing components, we collaborate to the best of ability, with Wisconsin-based partners.
· We currently employ more than 60 professionals working on-site, remotely and in hybrid situations. The Director of HR is a full-time on-site position. We anticipate much growth in technology-related positions in addition to our manufacturing operations.
The Director of Human Resources reports to the CEO and is responsible for achieving the following results:
· The RC Mowers culture is protected, understood and cascaded throughout the organization.
· Our organization is staffed in a way that allows us to meet our business objectives.
· Our compensation and benefit packages align with our strategic business objectives.
