The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  JCPenney is hiring a VP of HR in Springfield, OR.

• Role description

  Behind JCPenney's next big bet is a model someone has to build, defend, and stand behind; we're hiring that someone as our VP of HR. The structure is built for growth: $209,000 - $314,000 now, business ownership soon, and a JCPenney ladder that keeps adding rungs.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Translate JCPenney goals into quarterly roadmaps the business team can actually ship
  • Manage end-to-end operations for the Springfield, OR region
  • Convert a deeply-curious hunch into a tested hypothesis the board can weigh
  • Run discovery with OR operators to find what the data won't show
  • Lead due diligence on acquisition and investment opportunities
  • Decide the one number this quarter's business effort lives or dies by
  • Keep JCPenney compliant without grinding the whole operation to a halt

  What You'll Bring

  • The patience to mentor without taking over the keyboard
  • Enough Greenhouse to be dangerous, enough Empathy to be trusted
  • A learning-obsessed bias toward action, balanced by knowing when to wait
  • Storytelling instincts that turn data into a decision

  Out of a converted warehouse in Springfield, JCPenney has quietly grown into a remote-native force shaping how business gets done. We onboard you to the business mission first and the Negotiation tooling second, in that order.

  Your compensation opens at $209,000 - $314,000, your mentor is waiting, your benefits are ready, and your hours are yours to flex.

  Freshly verified active, this VP of HR position is accepting candidates now.
