Vice-President, Talent & Human Resources

Enterprise Transformation Mandate | Alberta

This is not a traditional HR leadership role.

Next International Inc. is engaged on a confidential executive search for a Vice-President, Talent & Human Resources within a multi-entity industrial services environment undergoing significant organizational transformation.

The mandate is focused on leadership alignment, governance evolution, organizational capability, and performance accountability across a group of operating companies.

The Opportunity

The organization is evolving from a historically independent operating structure toward a more aligned, disciplined, and scalable model.

Governance structures are being formalized. Executive leadership is being built. Expectations around performance, accountability, and decision-making are evolving.

This role sits at the center of that transition.

The successful executive will help:

Align senior leadership around shared expectations and operating principles
Strengthen leadership capability and succession depth across the organization
Translate governance into practical execution and accountability
Build enabling people infrastructure, systems, and processes to support long-term scale
Support organizational alignment without disrupting what already works

This is a builder mandate requiring strong judgment, influence, and operational credibility.

The Profile

This role is best suited for leaders who have:

Operated within complex, evolving, or multi-entity environments
Built alignment where it did not previously exist
Worked closely with senior operational and financial leadership
Led organizational change tied directly to business performance
Balanced strategic leadership with practical execution

Candidates coming exclusively from highly structured corporate HR environments may find this mandate less aligned.

Confidential Search

This search is being led confidentially by Next International Inc..

Initial conversations are exploratory and focused on alignment before formal process exposure.

Confidential discussions welcome.
