We are looking for an experienced Human Resources Operations Manager to support and strengthen HR operations for a growing organization in San Ramon, California. This is ideal for a hands-on, detail-oriented HR specialist who can guide employees and managers, improve consistency across people processes, and bring structure to a dynamic environment. The role requires a confident partner who can balance day-to-day HR administration with employee relations support, compliance oversight, and process improvement initiatives.

Responsibilities:

• Act as a primary HR contact for employees and managers by providing guidance on workplace policies, resolving concerns, and escalating complex or high-risk matters when appropriate.
• Handle employee relations activities with a practical, well-documented approach, including coaching conversations, performance discussions, corrective actions, and conflict resolution.
• Oversee essential HR operations such as onboarding for new team members, employee separations, personnel record maintenance, policy administration, benefits coordination, compensation updates, and internal HR communications.
• Review existing HR workflows, identify inconsistencies or control gaps, and design more standardized procedures that improve clarity, accountability, and execution across the organization.
• Support compliance efforts by maintaining organized documentation, helping prepare for recurring audits, tracking follow-up actions, and coordinating with external HR or compliance partners as needed.
• Influence managers and staff through clear communication and sound judgment, helping leaders address employee matters effectively even without direct reporting authority.
• Drive HR-related projects by partnering with leadership, operations, compliance, and business stakeholders on initiatives tied to organizational growth, process improvements, and system-related changes.
• Work independently in a smaller company setting by setting priorities, communicating progress proactively, and managing multiple HR needs with minimal oversight.
