The HR Manager leads day-to-day Human Resources operations for multiple locations & entities.

This is a hands-on HR leadership role in a multi-entity hospitality environment. The HR Manager works closely with managers and employees and oversees the HR team in recruiting, employee relations, investigations, compliance, benefits, leave administration, training, workers' compensation, documentation, and HR systems.

This is not a corporate desk role. The ideal candidate is visible, responsive, practical, and comfortable working directly with hospitality teams across hotel, restaurant, winery, tasting room, culinary, events, and administrative departments.
