People & Culture Manager, US Operations

at  Swim International Recruiting Inc

Excellent opportunity with a high-growth and very interesting global company. This role can be a remote contract anywhere in the US or Canada OR perhaps a permanent role for someone living within 4-hour drive of Childress, Texas, (such as Dallas-Fort Worth). Reporting into a great boss and working on a tight-knit Human Resources team. Amazing culture, high-growth and innovative company resulting in complex and interesting work, generous compensation, chance to build out new HR processes, programs, and policies.

WHO- THE CANDIDATE:

We are seeking candidates with at least 5 years (preferably 8+ years) of relevant and progressive experience HR generalist experience, with specialization in employee relations, HR policies, and creating employee handbooks for different jurisdictions. Candidates MUST have HR experience supporting American employees working in US operations- preference for Texas, New York, and California (in that order). Experience with Canadian HR is an asset, not required. Ideally candidates will have used a cloud-based multi-module HRIS.
We are seeking excellent communicators (written, verbal, non-verbal) who love building relationships across a business and really getting to know the operations and front-line employees. Strong collaboration and “building-out-HR” skills are all important, as is a consultative and adaptable nature. We are looking for people who are excited about working in a high change, innovative, and growing company. Experience working in the construction and/or technology sectors is a bonus, not required. SHRM designation is an asset.

On behalf of our client, SWIM is seeking a new People & Culture Manager on a contract basis. If the contractor is based within a reasonable driving distance from b, they can get serious consideration for the permanent role which is open or could perhaps even be considered for the permanent role right-off-the-bat. If based elsewhere in the US or Canada, chance for converting to permanent full time employment is quite low.
The new Manager will report directly into the VP of People & Culture (Canada-based) and will collaborate closely with the Senior Manager P&C (Canada-based) and the Manager Community Relations (Texas-based). This role involves employee relations (directly supporting 50+ employees in Texas who are mostly in construction and engineering roles, and a handful who are in corporate roles), employee handbook revision and creation, HR policy revision and creation, and supporting other HR projects as needed. This is a contract role and is anticipated to have an approximately 2-month term to start, while the company searches for a new permanent P&C Manager in the Childress, Texas area.
