We are seeking a versatile and driven Human Resources Specialist to join our team in our Leawood, Kansas office. Reporting to the Global Talent Acquisition Leader, this role offers the opportunity to contribute across multiple areas of the HR function.

While this is a broad-based HR Specialist role, our most immediate need is for strong support in US Talent Acquisition — helping drive full-cycle recruiting and onboarding — alongside contributing to other key areas of HR operations, including global HRIS data management, payroll and benefits support, employee engagement, and process improvement initiatives.

The HR Specialist will collaborate closely with our Talent Acquisition, HRIS/Payroll & Benefits, US Regional HR, and Global HR teams to support key HR processes and deliver a consistent, high-quality employee experience.

The HR Specialist must exhibit and proactively motivate others in the behaviors of the WireCo Business System (WBS):

• Teamwork - welcomes an environment of inclusiveness and healthy debate that reflects our team’s strength
• Accountable – celebrates our successes, learn from failures, avoid excuses, and own the outcomes of our efforts
• Self-Aware – demonstrates an understanding of our strengths and needs, considering how our actions impact others
• Noble Intent – acts in the interests of others, approaching our work with integrity to ensure the best outcome
• Determined – takes initiative, share ideas and find solutions to win and achieve our goals
• Transparent – promotes open and honest communication and constructive feedback for clarity and truth
• Curious – seeks knowledge and outside input to test our way of thinking, challenging the status quo

• Bachelor’s degree in Human Resources, Business, or a related field OR 5–7 years of relevant HR experience in lieu of a degree.
• Minimum of 3–5 years of experience in an HR Specialist or HR operations role.
• Strong experience supporting talent acquisition processes (full-cycle recruiting and onboarding).
• Working knowledge of HRIS platforms; experience with ADP highly preferred.
• Familiarity with payroll and benefits processes and terminology; prior collaboration with Payroll/Benefits teams.
• Solid understanding of HR compliance requirements.
• Strong attention to detail and organizational skills.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities in a dynamic environment.
• Strong analytical skills and comfort working with HR data and reporting.
