Sample Of A Manager Human Resources Job Description
So with this role there is somewhat of a trick with the title, a role like this actually manages the human resource function of a business and has a number of staff reporting to them. This role is not to be confused with a ‘Human Resource Manager’ which is often a sole charge role, typically found in smaller organisations (alternatively the ‘Human Resources Manager title is sometimes used when the incumbent is geographically separate from the head office, such as a HR Manager within a supermarket or retail store which belongs to a larger chain). With this role the buck stops with you, depending on the size of the organization there may be an executive ‘Chief of Staff’ role which is the ultimate in seniority within the HR chain of command, but most incumbents within the Manager Human Resources role will be the top HR person within the organization, and depending on the organizational structure will either report to a member of the executive (such as in this example) or directly to the CEO.
