This is a broad, hands‑on HR role supporting employees and leaders throughout the organization in areas including HRIS administration, recruitment, onboarding, benefits, employee relations, compliance, and other day‑to‑day Human Resources needs.

You’ll be part of the team that helps our employees succeed and keeps essential HR processes running smoothly—from welcoming new employees and supporting managers to maintaining accurate employee records, answering questions, and helping resolve workplace concerns.

• Knowledge of applicable employment laws and Human Resources practices, including talent management, recruitment and selection, compensation, benefits, employee relations, training and development, and performance management
• Strong communication, organizational, and interpersonal skills with the ability to work effectively with employees and leaders throughout the organization
• Ability to handle confidential and sensitive information with integrity, discretion, and professionalism
• Strong computer proficiency, including Microsoft Office products
• Previous experience with nonprofit or volunteer organizations preferred

The responsibilities we will trust you with as our Human Resources Generalist:

• Support day-to-day Human Resources operations and provide responsive guidance and assistance to employees and leaders across the organization
• Administer HR policies, procedures, and programs while helping ensure consistent practices throughout the YMCA
• Assist with HRIS administration, including employee data management, personnel records, reporting, system functionality, and user training

• Support recruitment efforts for exempt and nonexempt positions and other talent acquisition initiatives
• Maintain accurate and confidential personnel records and support required compliance reviews and audits
• Support employee relations efforts, including workplace investigations, employee relations counseling, engagement initiatives, exit interviews, and resolution of other employee concerns

• Partner with employees and leaders to answer questions, resolve concerns, and help foster a positive and engaging workplace
• Help maintain and improve HR processes, employee communication tools, job descriptions, reporting, and other staff support systems
• Participate in organizational meetings, training, special events, and other initiatives that support our employees and the YMCA's mission

What you can expect:

• Hands‑on experience across HRIS administration, recruitment, onboarding, employee relations, compliance, benefits, and employee support
• A collaborative environment where you'll help improve both the employee experience and the HR processes that support it
