Human Resources Generalist (Exempt) | Comstock Asset Management, LC | Reston, VA (HQ) | Bonus eligible

Comstock is looking for an HR Generalist who thrives in a fast-growing environment and wants to help build scalable, people-first HR practices. In this role, you’ll partner closely with leaders and employees, serve as a trusted advisor on performance and employee relations, and improve the policies, workflows, and tools that keep the organization moving. If you enjoy solving real business problems, bringing structure to ambiguity, and delivering a great employee experience, this is a chance to make visible impact.

What You’ll Do

· Partner with managers and client groups to drive strong talent outcomes aligned to business goals.

· Coach leaders through employee performance management, including coaching plans, corrective action, and documentation.

· Support and continuously improve the annual performance cycle with scalable tools, training, and metrics.

· Lead or support HR projects such as HRIS optimization, workflow automation, vendor implementations, engagement efforts, and process audits.

· Facilitate new hire orientation and coordinate end-to-end onboarding with cross-functional partners.

· Manage employee relations matters with empathy, consistency, and strong judgment; escalate complex/high-risk issues appropriately.

· Support investigation intake/triage and ensure timely, confidential, well-documented outcomes.

· Help scale HR policies, SOPs, and documentation (templates, playbooks, and knowledge articles) to enable growth.

· Maintain accurate, confidential employee records and HRIS data; support reporting and audit readiness.

· Support ADA accommodations, leave/status changes, and other employee support needs with responsive coordination.


What We’re Looking For

· Bachelor’s degree in Human Resources, Business Administration, or related field (or equivalent practical experience).

· 2–4 years of progressive HR Generalist experience, ideally in a fast-paced and/or high-growth environment.

· Hands-on experience managing performance and employee relations matters end-to-end, with strong documentation habits and sound judgment.

· Working knowledge of core HR practices and employment law, with a consistent, fair approach to policy application.

· Strong facilitation and communication skills—able to coach managers and create clear communications, training materials, and job aids.

· Comfort with HRIS and HR technology; curiosity and ability to leverage automation and AI-enabled tools responsibly.

· High integrity and discretion when handling sensitive and confidential information.

· Organized, adaptable, and able to manage multiple priorities with strong follow-through.

· Continuous-improvement mindset (process mapping, standard work, root-cause analysis) and comfort using basic metrics to measure impact.


Why You’ll Love This Role

· Visible impact: You’ll help shape HR programs and ways of working as the organization grows.

· Breadth + ownership: A true generalist role spanning performance, ER, onboarding, HR operations, and process improvement.

· Modernization opportunity: Improve workflows and employee experience through HR tech, automation, and scalable documentation.

· Close partnership with HR leadership: Work directly with the VP, Human Resources and influence decisions.
