This is a highly autonomous, solo HR role-you will be the only dedicated HR professional on staff, responsible for leading and executing all aspects of human resources with support from leadership but without a larger HR team to lean on.
You'll be the go-to for everything from employee relations to payroll, benefits, compliance, and recruiting. The ideal candidate is hands-on, resourceful, and confident managing a wide HR scope independently in a fast-paced, multi-location environment.

- HR Strategy & Influence - Collaborate closely with company leaders to drive people-first HR strategies. Influence culture and performance initiatives without formal HR peers.
- Compliance & Policies - Ensure compliance with employment laws and internal policies. Keep meticulous records and maintain audit readiness.
- Recruitment & Onboarding - Manage job postings, screening, and onboarding. Ensure a strong first impression and seamless employee integration.
- Training & Development - Support performance management, learning initiatives, and growth opportunities for employees.
- General HR Administration - Maintain HRIS data, produce reports, and provide general HR support across teams.
What You Must Bring
