CEO,Executive Leadership Team About Us We are a fast-growing, profitable organization operating across a diverse and dynamic portfolio of business entities, including a merchandise distribution warehouse, a pay-per-view content production company, a motorsports race track, and a large-scale social media content creation studio. With approximately 100 employees spread across these distinct operations, we offer a uniquely varied and fast-paced environment where no two departments look alike — and neither do their people challenges. We're looking for a seasoned Human Resources Manager who can bring structure, compliance rigor, and strategic people leadership to a company that's scaling quickly across multiple industries at once. Position Summary The HR Manager will serve as the primary architect and steward of our human resources function, building and maintaining programs that serve a workforce spanning warehouse/logistics operations, media production, live event/motorsports operations, and digital content creation.
