Job Title: Chief People Officer
Location: On-site at Blake’s Orchard & Cider Mill, Armada, MI
Reports To: President & COO
Company Overview
Blake’s Orchard & Cider Mill (BOCM) is a family-owned, Michigan-based business that blends tradition, innovation, and hospitality to create memorable experiences across our farms, retail stores, restaurants, and beverage operations.
For more than 75 years, we’ve grown through a “people-first, process-driven” approach — but our continued success depends on building stronger leaders, deeper bench strength, and a workplace culture rooted in ownership, teamwork, and pride.
We’re looking for a Chief People Officer to help lead that next chapter — someone who can transform HR into a strategic growth engine while protecting the strong operational foundation we’ve built.
Position Summary
The Chief People Officer (CPO) will be a key member of the executive team, responsible for developing and executing a comprehensive people strategy that drives business performance through leadership development, culture transformation, and workforce excellence.
This position will build upon the strong administrative and compliance foundation currently in place while elevating our focus on culture, leadership capability, accountability, and long-term organizational health.
This is not a traditional HR role. The Chief People Officer at Blake’s Orchard & Cider Mill will be the catalyst for transforming good managers into great leaders and great employees into proud ambassadors. The right person will bring both head and heart — combining strategic thinking with real-world execution — to make Blake’s one of the best places to work in Michigan.
