White Lodging develops and operates a portfolio of award-winning premium hotels, rooftop bars, and restaurants in some of the country's most dynamic cities. We know that the hospitality business, like life, is about how you make people feel. That's where you come in. You'll help bring the virtue of hospitality to life while we create an environment that allows you to be your best self and grow.
We are hiring an HR Business Partner to join White Lodging's Human Resources team. This is a hybrid role — three days per week required in our Merrillville, Indiana corporate office and two days remote — offering the structure of an in-person collaborative environment alongside the flexibility of a hybrid work schedule.
