In a smaller company, that means you’ll have a hand in a little bit of everything — from making sure our policies are compliant and clear, to supporting managers, to building programs that keep our team engaged and thriving. This role is ideal for a self-starter who thrives in a dynamic environment and enjoys wearing multiple hats.

• Monitor ESAT surveys and recommend improvements.
• Facilitate conflict resolution and coach managers/employees.

Talent Management & Development

• Lead performance review cycle and development planning.
• Coach managers on leadership, team dynamics, and performance.
• Deliver HR and compliance training; coordinate learning opportunities.

Compensation & Benefits

• Support merit/bonus planning and compensation reviews.
• Administer benefits programs, enrollment, and recordkeeping.
• Address employee benefits inquiries and partner with vendors.

Compliance, Leave & HRIS

• Ensure compliance with employment laws and maintain records.

Policies & Communication

Qualifications:

• 7 – 9 years of HR experience, ideally in a small or mid-sized company.
• Solid understanding of HR practices and employment laws.
• Comfortable switching between hands-on tasks and bigger-picture projects, and comfortable wearing multiple hats.
• Strong communication and problem-solving skills — you’re approachable and people trust you.
• Organized, detail-oriented, and able to keep things running smoothly.
• HR certification (SHRM-CP, PHR, etc.) is a plus but not required.

Salary range is $95K-$120K.
