Are you an experienced HR professional who thrives in a dynamic environment where you can influence every aspect of the employee experience? We’re looking for a well-rounded HR generalist who currently manages the full scope of human resources—from employee relations, benefits, and compliance to policy development, and day-to-day operations. This role offers the opportunity to make a meaningful impact across the organization by owning critical HR functions while collaborating with a supportive and knowledgeable team. If you’re ready to bring your expertise to a mission-driven company that values both strategic thinking and hands-on execution, we’d love to meet you.

WHAT YOU’LL DO:

• Administer employee benefits programs, including annual enrollment, employee education, and vendor coordination. Serve as a primary point of contact for employee benefit inquiries and issue resolution.
• Manage employee leave programs (e.g., FMLA, STD, LTD), ensuring all leaves are administered in compliance with applicable laws and company policy, with accurate tracking, documentation, and timely employee communication.
• Manage the workers’ compensation program, including injury reporting, claims coordination, communication with insurance providers, and return-to-work planning.
• Design and maintain the employee wellness program to incorporate events that align with employee interests and opportunities to improve the health and wellbeing of our workforce.
• Partner with leaders to develop and execute HR strategies and programs aligned with company-wide business goals and the annual People Plan.
• Coordinate all aspects of the termination process, including final pay coordination, exit interviews, and collection of company assets, ensuring an effective and positive offboarding experience.
• Own and maintain the employee handbook and all company policies; ensure they are up to date, compliant, and consistently communicated to employees.
• With oversight and support, resolve employee relations issues in a balanced, fair, and objective manner using appropriate coaching, investigative and mediation techniques.
• Support workforce planning and changes; perform compensation research and reviews for effective job analysis; make recommendations based on external and internal equity.
• Ensure job descriptions are up to date and audited for all active roles in the organization, supporting with the creation of new job descriptions as necessary.
• Serve as a trusted and approachable resource for employees at all levels, creating a professional and supportive environment where individuals feel comfortable seeking guidance on a wide range of HR-related topics. Independently address general inquiries with clarity and care. When needed, research complex issues and collaborate with other HR team members to ensure accurate and timely resolution.
• Monitor compliance with employment, immigration and benefit laws and regulations. Advise on impact and necessary changes to company policies, practices, or filings.
• Support employee engagement initiatives and contribute to building a positive and inclusive workplace culture.
