HR Compliance Program Manager

Date: Jul 8, 2026

Location: Mason, MI, US

Company: Dart Container

Shape the Future of HR Compliance

 

We are seeking a HR Compliance Program Manager to lead and evolve enterprise-wide employment compliance, social accountability, and workplace investigation programs across a dynamic manufacturing organization.

 

This is not a traditional compliance administration role. We are looking for a strategic thinker who can assess complex compliance challenges, identify opportunities for improvement, and build scalable solutions that strengthen both compliance outcomes and the employee experience. The successful candidate will work across manufacturing and corporate environments, partnering with HR, Legal, business leaders, and plant teams to drive programs that mitigate risk, promote ethical employment practices, and support organizational success.

 

If you're energized by building programs, influencing change, simplifying complexity, and creating practical solutions to compliance challenges, we'd love to hear from you.

 

What You'll Do

As HR Compliance Program Manager, you'll serve as the enterprise owner and strategic leader for key compliance programs and initiatives, including:

  • Leading and overseeing investigations arising from ethics hotline reports, policy concerns, and employee relations matters
  • Monitoring regulatory developments and partnering with HR and Legal to implement compliant, business-focused solutions
  • Managing the company's Social Accountability Audit program, partnering with manufacturing locations, customers, and external auditors to ensure compliance with human rights, labor, and workplace standards
  • Providing oversight of employment-based immigration programs and helping improve processes, controls, and workforce continuity strategies
  • Leading employment compliance programs related to EEO reporting, VETS-4212 reporting, pay equity, , living wage analyses, adverse impact assessments, accommodations, and other employment law-related requirements
  • Influencing leaders and stakeholders across multiple functions to drive adoption, accountability, and continuous improvement initiatives
  • Identifying trends, risks, and opportunities from investigations, compliance reviews, and audit findings to proactively strengthen organizational practices
  • Developing tools, processes, training, and governance frameworks that improve consistency and effectiveness across the enterprise

 

What We're Looking For

  • Bachelor's degree and progressive experience in employee relations, investigations, HR compliance, employment law, and/or related fields
  • Strong knowledge of employment laws and workplace compliance practices
  • Experience leading cross-functional programs and influencing stakeholders without direct authority
  • Exceptional analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills
  • A continuous improvement mindset with the ability to turn complex challenges into effective solutions
  • Experience with workplace investigations, immigration programs, workforce analytics, social accountability auditing, and/or manufacturing environments is highly desirable.

 

Why This Role?

This is a unique opportunity to help shape the future of compliance within a transforming organization. We're looking for someone who won't simply maintain existing processes, but who will challenge the status quo, identify opportunities for improvement, and help build scalable programs for the future.

 

The role offers significant visibility, broad business exposure, and the opportunity to grow into larger leadership responsibilities over time.
