Brand

At Post Consumer Brands, we’ve spent generations showing up for families, starting with breakfast, the most important meal of the day. Our cereals have become a trusted part of daily routines, helping spark conversations, fuel busy mornings, and create everyday moments that bring families closer together, including their furry four-legged family members, who have recently become a part of our story. As families have evolved, so have we. What began at the breakfast table has expanded into snacks, peanut butter, and, more recently, pet food, because caring for a family means feeding every part of it. With the addition of several iconic pet brands, we’ve extended our purpose: to make high-quality, accessible food for everyone under the same roof.

This phase is still new, and that’s what makes it exciting. As we continue to grow across grocery and pet, we’re looking for people who care about good food, thoughtful work, and the kind of impact that stretches from store shelves to kitchen tables, and food bowls, across the country.

Location Description

Post Consumer Brands corporate headquarters in Lakeville, Minnesota, is about 20 miles south of Minneapolis and St. Paul, Lakeville has all the benefits of smaller town living with access to everything a large metropolitan area has to offer. Join more than 400 team members collaborating on the two-building campus to help put breakfast on the tables of millions of consumers in North America.

Responsibilities

At Post Consumer Brands, we’re making lives better by making delicious food accessible for all. As **Associate Director of Human Resources** , you’ll be at the heart of this mission, helping shape a workplace where people thrive. You’ll join a company with a rich 125-year legacy and a bold future, where your leadership will directly impact our culture, talent strategy, and business outcomes. With a “big company opportunity, small company attitude,” you’ll have the autonomy to innovate and the support to grow, all while working alongside passionate colleagues who value inclusion, collaboration, and purpose.

What You’ll be Doing

As a strategic HR partner, this role works closely with executives and senior leaders to strengthen individual and organizational capabilities. The focus is on helping teams grow, aligning talent strategies with business goals, and creating a culture where people can do their best work.

A key part of the role involves embedding a performance and engagement mindset across the organization—ensuring teams have clear goals, receive meaningful feedback, and deliver great service in ways that reflect our values and purpose.

This position plays a central role in driving change. Whether it’s evolving organizational structures, improving people processes, or supporting business transformation, the work is done in close collaboration with HR Centers of Excellence (like Talent Management, Learning, Talent Acquisition, and HR Operations) to ensure initiatives are aligned with strategy and executed seamlessly.

The role also serves as a connector between business leaders and HR specialists—providing feedback, advocating for business needs, and helping ensure HR tools and programs are practical and impactful. Project leadership is part of the mix too—bringing HR expertise to initiatives that shape the future of our processes and systems. Data plays a big role, and you’ll help translate HR metrics into insights that guide better decisions.

Employee relations is another important area. This role helps leaders navigate complex situations, build confidence in managing issues, and know when to bring in additional support from HR experts.

And like any dynamic role, there’s always room to take on new challenges and contribute in ways that make a difference.

Major Challenges

You’ll be navigating a dynamic environment where legacy systems and processes coexist with ambitious growth and innovation goals. Balancing strategic transformation with day-to-day operational demands will require agility, influence, and resilience. You’ll also face the challenge of aligning diverse stakeholder expectations across corporate and manufacturing settings while fostering a unified culture.

Work Environment

You’ll be based at our Lakeville, MN headquarters, collaborating with over 500 team members across a two-building campus. This position is hybrid, where you’ll be in the office Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. The HR team operates in a matrixed structure, partnering closely with business units, DE&I, and talent development. Our culture is inclusive, pragmatic, and purpose-driven, with a strong emphasis on humility, learning, and doing what’s right. You’ll use tools like Workday, SuccessFactors, and Tableau to drive insights and action.

Qualifications

Education

A bachelor’s degree in Business, Human Resources, or a related field is required. A master’s degree in Human Resources and Industrial Relations (HRIR) is a plus.

Experience

At least 10 years of progressive HR experience, including deep expertise in talent management, organizational effectiveness, and change management. Ideally, 8 or more of those years have been spent in an HR Business Partner role within large, complex organizations. Experience working with multiple Human Capital Management (HCM) systems is preferred. Comfort handling sensitive and confidential information is essential.

Growth Opportunities

Achieving these KPOs will position you as a key strategic partner to senior leadership and you’ll gain visibility across the enterprise, lead high-impact initiatives, and contribute to shaping the future of HR at Post Consumer Brands. Your success will be recognized not just through outcomes, but through the legacy of leadership and culture you help build.

The pay range for this position is $99,119 - $154,626 per year.
