New team members are welcomed with care and inspired by wellness events, inclusive stories, and a personal touch that makes you feel right at home.

Reports to: Sr. HR Manager - HQ

Location: Brownsburg Distribution Center - Brownsburg, Indiana (Onsite)

About the Role:

You will be the HR point person for Sur La Table's Brownsburg Distribution Center — the person managers rely on for answers, candidates count on to move quickly, and leadership looks to when workforce decisions need to be grounded in data. As HR Manager - Distribution Center, you will run full-cycle recruiting, manage the employee lifecycle, support compliance and safety, and build relationships across a large hourly population.

In your first six to twelve months, success means establishing yourself as the trusted HR partner on-site, streamlining recruiting and onboarding processes, and delivering workforce reporting that drives real decisions for BDC leadership.

This is a lean team. You will own a lot, move fast, and make decisions with full end-to-end responsibility.

What You'll Do:

Recruiting & Staffing

• Manage full-cycle recruiting for BDC roles — posting, screening, offers, and Day 1 clearance — with volume increasing during peak and seasonal windows.
• Manage temp staffing operations, including agency relationships, onboarding and offboarding, and hours submission.

Onboarding & New Hire Experience

• Own the new hire experience end to end — facilitate orientation, ensure every system and document is ready before Day 1, and run structured 15/45/90-day check-ins that surface trends and share findings with key leaders.

Workforce Administration

• Manage attendance tracking, timecard edits, call-off documentation, and policy enforcement consistently, accurately, and with care.

Leave & Workers' Compensation

• Own the leave of absence process in partnership with AbsencePro — handling communications, approvals, and follow-ups.
• Provide first-response on workers' comp claims and elevate complex situations to the Sr. HR Manager with good judgment and documentation.

Performance Management & Compliance

• Pull completion and rating reports, keep BDC leadership informed on review timelines, and raise flags before deadlines slip.
• Coordinate monthly safety topics, annual training, and LMS compliance reporting to keep the BDC population current and documentation airtight.

Reporting, Engagement & Employee Relations

• Produce and distribute regular HR reports — headcount, rosters, terminations, OSHA, perfect attendance, labor — and communicate what the numbers mean clearly.
• Run recognition programs, coordinate engagement initiatives, execute BDC events, and conduct exit interviews that translate findings into actionable patterns.
• Serve as the day-to-day HR point of contact for employees and managers, maintaining accurate records in Paylocity and escalating employee relations concerns with sound judgment.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Human Resources, Business, or a related field — or equivalent experience
• 5+ years of progressive HR experience; distribution center or warehouse background strongly preferred
• Proven experience managing full-cycle recruiting, including high-volume and seasonal hiring
• Working knowledge of FMLA and leave of absence administration
• Solid understanding of federal and state employment law
• Ability to translate AI capabilities into business outcomes — identifying high-leverage opportunities where AI can improve decision quality, organizational speed, and workforce effectiveness
• Proficiency in HRIS systems; Paylocity experience a plus
• Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage competing priorities without losing track of details
• Clear, confident communicator in writing and in person
• Intermediate proficiency in Microsoft Office, Outlook, and Smartsheet
• Available to work onsite five days per week; office hours may vary based on business needs

Preferred Qualifications:

• PHR or SHRM-CP certification

Why Join:
