If you're someone who enjoys bringing structure to processes, helping people, solving problems, and working in a collaborative environment, we'd love to hear from you. ​

  • Assisting with HR audits, reporting, and documentation.
  • Supporting employee engagement initiatives, training programs, and company events.
  • Helping document and improve HR processes and procedures as we continue building our standalone operations.
  • Serving as a trusted resource for employee and manager questions related to HR policies, benefits, payroll, and employment practices.
  • Providing general administrative support across HR and office operations as needed.
Who You Are
More than specific experience, we're looking for someone who is:
  • Organized and detail-oriented with a knack for accuracy.
  • A clear communicator, both written and verbal.
  • Comfortable handling confidential information with professionalism and discretion.
  • A proactive problem-solver who enjoys improving processes.
  • Adaptable and comfortable in a changing environment.
  • A collaborative team player who enjoys building positive working relationships.
What You'll Bring
  • A combination of 3-7 years of progressive Human Resources experience and education.
  • Experience supporting payroll, benefits administration, employee relations, and HR operations.
  • Working knowledge of employment laws, HR compliance requirements, and HR best practices.
  • Experience working with HRIS and payroll systems.
  • Strong organizational and administrative skills.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office applications, including Excel.
  • Ability to work independently while managing multiple priorities and deadlines.
Bonus Points (Not Required)
  • Experience in a manufacturing, engineering, or technology environment.
  • Experience supporting organizational transitions, acquisitions, carve-outs, or standalone business operations.
  • Multi-state payroll experience.
  • Experience with HR system implementations or process improvement initiatives.
  • Exposure to international HR administration.

If you're looking for an opportunity to make a meaningful impact, contribute across a broad range of HR activities, and help shape the future of a growing international business, we'd love to hear from you.
