Job Description

If you’re looking for an HR role where you can build real expertise, contribute to meaningful employee experiences, and learn alongside a talented and well-resourced team, this is an opportunity to do all three. As our Human Resources Coordinator, you’ll join a collaborative Human Resources & Culture team where most of your role will be dedicated to Total Rewards, giving you hands‑on experience across some of the most important moments in the employee lifecycle. You’ll support FMLA administration, payroll and benefits processes, employee offboarding, and other Total Rewards operations, while developing deeper knowledge of areas such leave administration, payroll practices, and benefits. With strong cross‑training and an experienced team around you, you’ll have the opportunity to grow your capabilities and take on greater ownership within Total Rewards over time. We’re looking for someone who brings exceptional attention to detail, sound judgment, discretion with highly confidential information, and a genuine interest in building their HR expertise.

keeps things moving. In addition to Total Rewards responsibilities, the Coordinator provides executive administrative support to our Senior Vice President of Human Resources & Culture, including thoughtful calendar management, proactive meeting scheduling, itineraries, expense processing, and anticipating administrative needs. They will also support the broader HR&C team with team meetings and events, invoices and expenses, and the many operational details that allow a high-performing HR function to run smoothly. The work will ebb and flow between Total Rewards, executive support, and broader team needs, so success requires someone who can shift priorities comfortably, stay several steps ahead, communicate clearly, and recognize what needs attention without always waiting to be asked.

Just as importantly, this person will be a highly visible and trusted member of HR&C. Physically located at the front of the HR suite, the Coordinator is often a first point of contact for employees. This means welcoming people, answering questions, thoughtfully triaging needs, and connecting colleagues with the right resources. That calls for warmth and service orientation paired with excellent judgment, professionalism, and confidentiality. If you’re energized by detailed work, enjoy being both an HR practitioner and a trusted administrative partner, and want to learn alongside an experienced team with the resources to support your growth, this is a role where you can make an impact from the center of the action.
