Job description

We want a HR Assistant at Community Excellence Foundation who can hold both the spreadsheet and the strategy without dropping either one. You won't find a tighter fit if you've got 3 years, want $62,000 - $88,000, and crave a business team that lets you lead.

Key Responsibilities

• Negotiate vendor terms that look deadline-driven on paper and hold up in practice
• Build the model that tells you when to stop a losing business bet
• Build the pricing logic that a temporary sales rep can explain in one breath
• Mentor junior analysts and elevate the team's analytical rigor
• Translate ambiguous business problems into structured, solvable workstreams
• Identify growth opportunities in the Gulfport, MS market and beyond
• Field the awkward question in the QBR and have the data ready
• Liaise with legal and compliance to keep business practices sound

What You'll Bring

• Sound instincts for reading a room you've never been in before
• A history of leaving business processes better than you found them
• Equal parts Candidate Experience depth and Adaptability curiosity
• The discipline to finish the boring 20% that makes the rest matter
• The patience to mentor without taking over the keyboard
• A growth mindset that treats feedback as fuel, not threat
• A portfolio or work samples that demonstrate your business expertise

For all its growth-minded ambition, Community Excellence Foundation still operates like the scrappy Gulfport startup that first cracked business years ago. Our Gulfport, MS team moves at a steady, sustainable pace and protects time for deep, focused FMLA Administration work.

You'll receive $62,000 - $88,000, a hybrid schedule, and a personalized development plan tailored to your business career goals.
