Job description

What The HR Manager Role Is All About

The HR Manager at KMM is a hands‑on, people‑focused leader who keeps daily HR operations running smoothly across multiple locations. You're the person who ensures employees, supervisors, and new hires get consistent, high‑quality support - and you lead the HR team that makes it all happen. At its core, this role blends leadership, operations, and compliance in a fast‑paced aerospace/defense manufacturing environment.

What You Lead

You directly supervise:

• HR Generalists
• Recruiting Specialist
• Learning Systems & Onboarding Lead

What You Own Day‑to‑Day

You're responsible for the execution of HR operations - not the enterprise strategy (that's the Director's lane). Your daily work includes:

• Recruiting & hiring
• Onboarding & LMS administration
• Employee relations & investigations
• Performance management support
• Benefits education & HRIS accuracy
• Compliance execution (EEO‑1, VETS‑4212, AAP, OSHA, WSI, FMLA, FLSA)
• Audit‑ready documentation
• Cross‑functional partnership with Operations, Quality, Safety, Engineering, and IT

Why This Role Matters

KMM builds mission‑critical components for aircraft, weapons systems, and space technologies. HR plays a huge part in:

• keeping teams staffed
• keeping training compliant
• keeping documentation audit‑ready
• keeping culture strong
• keeping employees supported

Who Thrives In This Role

This role is perfect for someone who:

• enjoys leading a small HR team
• likes hands‑on HR work
• thrives in structured, compliance‑heavy environments
• wants multi‑site HR experience
• is ready to grow into higher‑level HR leadership

It's also ideal for a strong HR Generalist or HR Supervisor ready to step into a true Manager role.
