Director of Human Resources

Are We the Place for You?

Princeton Federal Credit Union ($170M) in Princeton, NJ, is looking for its next Director of Human Resources.

Princeton Federal Credit Union (PFCU), proudly serving over 8,300 members since 1972, is seeking a dynamic and strategic Director of Human Resources to lead our HR function and champion a positive, people-centered culture. This is a pivotal leadership role that will help shape the future of our organization as we grow and evolve to meet the needs of our members and team. PFCU serves a diverse and growing field of membership that includes individuals from over 90 Select Employer and

School Groups, as well as all members of the Financial Fitness Association.

Is This the Career for You?

Are you a people-oriented HR leader who thrives in a role where strategy meets firsthand impact? Do you enjoy building strong relationships, solving complex problems, and being a trusted resource for employees? If so, Princeton Federal Credit Union may be the right fit for you.

This is more than just an HR leadership role; it’s an opportunity to shape the culture of an organization that genuinely values its people. You’ll be a visible, approachable presence across the credit union, collaborating closely with staff at all levels. Your ability to build trust, listen with empathy, and offer practical solutions will make you a go-to resource. At the same time, you'll help empower employees to use tools like our online portal, promoting a culture of independence and self-service.

This position requires someone confident in details, comfortable rolling up their sleeves with payroll tasks, and diving into benefits administration. Strong proficiency in Microsoft Office and HR/payroll systems is essential.

One of your first key projects will be overseeing the transition from our current money purchase plan to our 401(k) plan with expanded features. You won’t be doing this alone. While we’re a lean team internally, we have strong partnerships with outside experts, and we’re looking for someone who knows how to collaborate effectively with third-party vendors.

If you are excited by the idea of leading with both heart and expertise and want to make a real difference in the lives of employees while supporting a member-focused mission, we invite you to bring your talents to Princeton Federal Credit Union.
