• 2+ years of HR experience; healthcare HR preferred.
• Strong working knowledge of employment laws (FMLA, ADA, COBRA, OSHA).
• High comfort level juggling leadership responsibilities with hands‑on HR work.
• Excellent communication skills, professionalism, and follow‑through.
• Ability to build trust and stay organized in a fast‑paced environment.

• Flexible Time Off— Exempt‑level team members receive flexible paid time away, designed to give you the time you need, when you need it most, without worrying about accruals or tracking.
• Comprehensive Health Coverage— 100% employer‑paid employee medical insurance, with optional spouse and family coverage.
• Health Savings Account Contributions— $150 per month toward your HSA when enrolled in our medical plan.
• Peace of Mind — $10,000 employer‑paid life insurance, with access to additional voluntary life coverage.
