Hybrid Director of Human Resources bei Avion Hospitality

Description

At Margaritaville South Padre Island, we believe Human Resources is more than policies and paperwork — it's about energy, recognition, and heart. As Director of Human Resources, you’re not tucked away in an office — you’re out on the floor, surprising teams with cold drinks on hot days, welcoming new hires with enthusiasm, and high-fiving a server who just turned a guest's day around.

This is a place where work feels like a vacation — and you make sure every team member feels seen, supported, and fired up to deliver unforgettable guest experiences.

You’ll lead a people-first HR function that does the serious work: responsible for staffing qualified personnel, ensuring employment statute compliance, overseeing all aspects of wage, benefit, worker’s compensation, and unemployment; directing, implementing, and administering training programs; and providing coaching, counseling, and discipline in employee relations. Exempt associates are expected to work as much of each workday as necessary to complete their job responsibilities.
