• Provide strong technical guidance on California, Nevada, and federal employment law, including wage and hour, leaves, accommodations, and compliance.
• Partner closely with Operations to improve leadership practices, employee communication, engagement, retention and the overall frontline employee experience.
• Build scalable HR processes and infrastructure that support continued organizational growth while creating greater consistency across locations, shifts and teams.
• Strengthen manager capabilities through coaching, training and clear expectations around communication, accountability, conflict resolution and employee management.
• Use employee feedback and workforce data, including turnover, attendance, engagement and employee relations trends, to identify root causes and opportunities for improvement.
• Apply continuous improvement and root-cause problem-solving principles to HR and workforce challenges.
• Help drive cultural change by reinforcing respect, accountability, collaboration, transparency, and consistent leadership behaviors.
• Champion a mission-driven culture where employees understand how their work contributes to improving access to healthy food and positively impacting the communities we serve.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Human Resources, Business Administration, Organizational Development, or a related field required.
• 8+ years of progressive HR experience, including HR leadership responsibility.
• Bilingual English/Spanish required, with professional fluency in both languages.
• Experience supporting a large, complex, and growing workforce, preferably 500+ employees across multiple locations.
• Strong experience supporting primarily hourly/frontline employees in food production, manufacturing, distribution, logistics, or similar operational environments.
• Demonstrated experience leading and developing a small HR team.
