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

Your job is to coach, develop, and guide them so HR services stay consistent, compliant, and excellence-driven.

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

This is a role where you stay close to the work, close to the people, and close to the processes that keep HR running.

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

You're the leader who ensures HR delivers excellence every single day.

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.
