About American Dental Companies (ADC)

American Dental Companies is rapidly expanding, and we are aggressively building a stronger, more consistent, and deeply collaborative field HR partnership model to support our dental practices, clinical leaders, and regional operations teams.

We are seeking a high-caliber, autonomous Senior Field HR Business Partner to serve as a principal strategic advisor to our Regional Managers, Partner Dentists/Doctors, and operations leadership. This is a senior-level individual contributor role designed for a seasoned HR professional who thrives at the intersection of complex problem-solving, corporate risk assessment, and empathetic workforce advocacy. If you excel at coaching matrixed leadership teams, navigating gray areas, and bringing structured compliance to rapid organizational growth, you will thrive in this role.

The Role: What You'll Do

As our Senior Field HRBP, you will independently manage high-stakes employee relations, lead workplace investigations, champion change management during clinic acquisitions, and mentor junior HR team members to elevate our overall HRBP operational model.

Key Responsibilities:

• Advanced Field Consultation: Serve as the primary, trusted HR advisor to multi-site Regional Managers and practice-level leaders, driving consistency, accountability, and sound people-centric decision-making.

• Complex Employee Relations (ER): Independently spearhead sensitive ER matters-including end-to-end workplace investigations, escalated employee complaints, and executive conduct issues. Ensure all findings and corrective actions are documented with bulletproof compliance.

• Executive Coaching & Influence: Coach doctors, office managers, and regional leaders through difficult performance conversations, termination readiness, and documentation best practices. Push back professionally when decisions introduce unnecessary corporate or compliance risk.

• M&A Integration & Field Stabilization: Partner directly with the Integrations, Payroll, Benefits, and Recruiting teams to lead human capital transitions for newly acquired practices-assisting local teams in migrating from informal local habits to consistent company standards.

• HRBP Mentorship: Serve as an informal leader and mentor to Field HR Business Partners and HR Generalists, sharing templates, best practices, and field insights to strengthen the department's capability.

• Strategic Travel (Up to 20%): Dynamically deploy to local dental practices, corporate hubs, integration sites, or field investigations as needed to stabilize operations or de-escalate high-risk conflicts.

What We're Looking For

• Experience: 7+ years of progressive Human Resources experience, featuring a heavy emphasis on dedicated HR Business Partner, high-level Employee Relations, or Field HR operations.

• Industry Footprint: Extensive experience supporting a multi-site, field-based distributed workforce (e.g., healthcare, dental, retail, hospitality, or corporate service sectors) is strongly preferred.

• Regulatory & Leave Fluency: Deep working knowledge of federal and multi-state employment law, wage and hour regulations, and practical ADA/FMLA interactive process considerations.

• Risk & Investigation Mastery: Proven track record of independently conducting objective, complex workplace investigations and drafting ironclad risk-assessment recommendations.

• Influence Without Authority: Exceptional executive presence; the ability to immediately establish credibility with business owners, doctors, and corporate operations stakeholders.

• Education: Bachelor's Degree in Human Resources, Business Administration, or a related field is required (Master's Degree is a definitive plus).

• Credentials: SHRM-CP, SHRM-SCP, PHR, or SPHR credential is highly preferred.

Why You'll Love It Here

At ADC, you are stepping into a dynamic, solutions-focused corporate culture where your judgment is respected and your impact is visible. This role offers the perfect blend of remote autonomy and strategic field presence. We offer a competitive salary range of $110,000 to $135,000, zero primary budget ownership friction, and a collaborative, evolving team environment led by an executive leadership group dedicated to doing HR the right way.
