Director of Human Resources in Pendleton, Oregon! at Adaugeo Healthcare Solutions

<p><strong>Director of Human Resources | Pendleton, Oregon | Adaugeo Healthcare Solutions (On-site)</strong></p> <p><strong>This isn't an HR job where you optimize someone else's strategy. This is the HR job where you <em>are</em>&nbsp;the strategy.</strong></p> <p>Adaugeo Healthcare Solutions is the parent company behind Praxis Health and Interpath Laboratory — a fast-growing, multi-state healthcare organization spanning primary care, family medicine, clinical and reference laboratory operations. We're looking for a Director of Human Resources to lead our people function for roughly 1,100 employees across four states (Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Nebraska), based out of our Pendleton, Oregon headquarters.</p> <p><strong>Let's talk about Pendleton first, because you should know exactly what you're signing up for.</strong></p> <p>This isn't a remote-eligible desk job you can do from a high-rise. It's on-site in our Eastern Oregon (Pendleton) corporate office: wide-open sky, real seasons, a genuine small-town community where people know your name at the coffee shop, and a cost of living that lets your paycheck actually go somewhere. It's Pendleton Round-Up, the Umatilla River, an hour to world-class skiing, and a three-hour drive to Portland or Boise when you want the city fix. If you're the kind of HR leader who wants your work to visibly matter in a place you can also put down roots, not just another line on a stock photo, this is that.</p> <p>We're not going to pretend the commute or the market is the same as Seattle or Portland. We're going to tell you why the trade is worth it.</p> <p><strong>What you'll actually own:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Full ownership of the HR function across Adaugeo, Praxis Health, and Interpath Laboratory — not a shared-services seat, the seat.</li> <li>A team you build and lead: the Director of Talent Acquisition and an HR Specialist/Business Partner report directly to you.</li> <li>The real, hard problems of multi-state healthcare HR: FLSA classification, ADA accommodation, compliance across four states with different rules, compensation strategy, and employee relations that actually get resolved instead of lingering.</li> <li>A direct line to C-Suite leadership — your read on the organization shapes decisions; it doesn't just get filed.</li> <li>Modern tools, not decade-old spreadsheets: UKG, Greenhouse, Microsoft 365, Claude Enterprise. If you're fluent with technology and expect your team to be too, you'll feel at home here.</li> </ul> <p><strong>You're probably the right person for this if:</strong></p> <ul> <li>You've run an HR department, not just functioned within one, hold 7+ years of progressive HR experience, including real leadership ownership.</li> <li>You've worked across multiple states and know that "compliant in one state" doesn't mean "compliant everywhere."</li> <li>You've got healthcare, clinical, or multi-site experience, or a fast track record of picking it up.</li> <li>You want to build something, not maintain something.</li> <li>You're not scared off by a rural headquarters, you're drawn to it.</li> </ul> <p><strong>What we offer:</strong> Competitive compensation, relocation assistance, a full complement of Health benefits, and Paid Time Off</p> <p>If you're the person who reads "Pendleton, Oregon" and gets curious instead of clicking away, we want to talk to you.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
