We're looking for a dynamic Human Resources Manager to support a growing non-profit, who's equal parts policy guru, recruiter, leave wrangler, and employee-whisperer. In this role, you'll manage the day-to-day HR essentials - benefits, employee relations, onboarding, compliance - while making people feel heard, supported, and just a little bit less confused about open enrollment.

You'll work closely with senior HR leadership and employees across all levels, making sure the people stuff runs smoothly (and legally). If you've ever explained FMLA with a smile, created a spreadsheet that actually makes sense, and gently reminded someone that HR is not IT, we want to talk to you.

This role is hybrid - with up to three days in office. No relocation offered. Must be bilingual Spanish!

• Maintain and report on HR data via Paycom (or your trusty spreadsheet sidekick)
• Ensure compliance with federal, state, and local employment laws

• Attend meetings, share insights, and occasionally bring snacks

Qualifications
