You will lead and oversee core HR functions including benefits administration, compensation strategy, HR systems, and regulatory compliance. This role manages relationships with external vendors and brokers, ensures the successful administration and auditing of retirement plans, and leads salary review and market analysis processes. You will maintain HR policies in alignment with legal requirements while ensuring consistent application across the organization. You will manage the HCM platform to ensure data accuracy and efficient workflows, while generating and analyzing reports on key metrics such as turnover, headcount, and compensation to inform strategic decision-making. In addition, you will drive process improvement initiatives to enhance HR operations and employee experience, including overseeing onboarding and orientation programs to support effective cultural integration. As a leader, you will supervise and mentor HR staff, and partner closely with the VP of HR on staffing strategies, employee relations, and performance management, and champion initiatives that promote engagement and reinforce a positive, mission-centered workplace culture.

ABOUT YOU

You bring at least seven years of progressive human resources experience, including a minimum of three years in a leadership role, with demonstrated expertise across benefits, compensation, HR systems, and employment law. You are skilled in vendor management, retirement plan oversight, and using data to support strategic decisions, and you communicate effectively while handling sensitive matters with professionalism and discretion. You are proficient in HR technology, with experience in systems such as Paylocity, and are comfortable working independently while collaborating across teams. A bachelor's degree in Human Resources, Business Administration, or a related field is required, and HR certification such as SHRM-SCP or SPHR is strongly preferred.
