Senior HR Manager

Description

Senior HR Manager
ProCo LLC  ·  AICA Orthopedics  ·  Marietta, GA
Title: Senior HR Manager
Reports To: Director of Human Resources
Department: Human Resources
Location: Marietta (On-site)
Compensation: Up to $130,000
Last Updated: 2026
POSITION IMPACT
ProCo LLC is a management services organization supporting five healthcare service lines, including AICA Orthopedics — Atlanta’s premier orthopedic and surgical group operating 21 clinics and 3 surgery centers across metro Atlanta with 400+ team members.
The Senior HR Manager steps into a functioning HR operation and makes it excellent. Paylocity has been in place for over two years. Core processes exist. What this role brings is consistency, compliance rigor, and the steady operational hand needed to stabilize systems, close documentation gaps, and build the repeatable infrastructure that a growing multi-site healthcare organization requires.
You will own day-to-day HR execution across compliance, benefits, leave administration, employee relations, policy governance, and payroll coordination. You will also have direct access to outside legal counsel and a small but growing HR team to lead.
This is a hands-on operator position — not a strategy or executive coaching role. The right person is energized by bringing order to complexity, comfortable owning the function, and takes satisfaction in getting the details right.
WHAT YOU’LL OWN
Compliance & Employment Law
Administer FMLA, ADA, and workplace accommodations across all locations
Manage unemployment claims, EEOC coordination, and agency response
Coordinate workers’ compensation claims and return-to-work processes
Own termination compliance, documentation, and separation processing
Maintain I-9 records, conduct audits, and manage HR documentation governance
Coordinate with General Counsel on employment matters and legal support
Ensure regulatory compliance including OSHA recordkeeping and required postings
Benefits Administration
Own day-to-day benefits administration — carrier relationships, plan management, employee inquiries
Lead open enrollment planning and execution in partnership with external benefits advisor
Manage benefits vendor relationships and annual renewals
Ensure ACA compliance and benefits-related regulatory reporting
HR Operations & Systems
Assess, stabilize, and optimize Paylocity configuration and workflows
Own HRIS data integrity — auditing existing records and establishing governance standards
Develop and maintain HR SOPs and process documentation
Coordinate payroll processing with Finance, ensuring accuracy and clean data flow
Manage employee lifecycle transactions: onboarding, status changes, separations
Own the employee handbook — maintenance, updates, and distribution
Produce compliance reports and support internal and external audits
Employee Relations
Advise managers on performance management, documentation, and corrective action
Support disciplinary processes and ensure documentation consistency
Conduct or support workplace investigations in coordination with General Counsel
Serve as a trusted, discreet resource for employees and managers navigating HR matters
Team & Function Leadership
Supervise and develop the HR Generalist with a focus on compliance and benefits cross-training
Collaborate with the Director of Talent Acquisition on onboarding handoffs and workforce data
Represent the HR function in leadership discussions and cross-functional planning
QUALIFICATIONS
Required
7–10+ years of progressive HR experience with strong operational depth
Healthcare, ambulatory care, or multi-site clinical operations experience
Hands-on experience with FMLA, ADA, workers’ compensation, and leave administration
Benefits administration experience including open enrollment and carrier management
Employee relations experience — PIPs, corrective action, investigations, separations
Strong HRIS proficiency; Paylocity experience strongly preferred
Demonstrated ability to assess and improve HR systems and processes in a multi-location environment
Strong documentation habits and attention to compliance detail
Georgia employment law familiarity
Preferred
Experience stepping into an existing HR function and improving it — not just maintaining the status quo
PHR or SPHR certification
Experience supervising or developing junior HR staff
Familiarity with ACA reporting, OSHA recordkeeping, and I-9 compliance
THE IDEAL CANDIDATE
This role is the right fit if you...
Can walk into an existing system, assess it honestly, and improve it without drama
Stay calm when compliance situations get complicated — you’ve seen most of it before
Take pride in the details that others overlook: documentation, deadlines, data integrity
Can build trust with both frontline employees and senior leadership simultaneously
Are comfortable being the HR expert in the room and owning the function independently
This role is not the right fit if you are primarily motivated by strategy, executive coaching, or organizational design. Those functions will grow here — but right now, this organization needs a strong operator who can stabilize and scale what already exists.
REWARDS
Up to $130,000 base salary commensurate with experience
Full benefits package including medical, dental, and vision
PTO and paid holidays
Direct access to senior leadership and meaningful influence over how HR matures
The satisfaction of leaving a function measurably better than you found it
