At Atrium Hospitality, we know that great businesses are built on strong teams. We’re looking for a Director of Human Resources who will not only support our property leaders and associates — but also influence culture, drive meaningful business outcomes, and leave a lasting impact. At Atrium, teamwork isn’t just a word—it’s how we succeed together. Hear from Sofia a current DHR:

Be a strategic advisor to operational leaders on all employment matters, including: Talent Acquisition & Recruitment, Compensation Strategy & Planning, Benefits Education & Administration, Employee Development, Training & Career Pathing, Performance Management, Employee Relations and Conflict Resolution, Compliance Management and Risk Mitigation
Bring Atrium’s Core Values to life by creating a positive, inclusive culture through events, recognition programs, and open communication.

Ensure safety and wellbeing, co-chairing the property safety committee and leading Workers’ Compensation processes with care and precision.
Foster a transparent, approachable environment, where associates feel heard, understood, and supported — with a strong open-door policy and multiple communication channels.
And of course — roll up your sleeves and lead by example when new challenges or opportunities arise.
Why This Role Is Perfect for You:
You’ve built a career on trust, leadership, and follow-through — and you want to be part of a company that values that.
You know that HR is about more than policies — it’s about people, partnerships, and problem-solving.
You’re energized by coaching and mentoring others and making a real difference in their careers.
You enjoy working autonomously, while still being part of a collaborative team that supports each other and works toward shared goals.
You appreciate stability and structure, but you’re also not afraid to challenge the status quo and bring new ideas to the table.
