What You’ll Own & Elevate

You’ll influence nearly every aspect of the employee lifecycle, including:

Payroll & Compliance:

• Manage payroll (via ADP) with precision, ensuring wage, hour, and labor law compliance.

Recruitment & Workforce Planning:

• Attract, hire, and build talent pipelines. Maintain a strong talent bench.
• Ensure the right people are in the right roles at the right times.

Culture & Development:

• Lead onboarding, training, and development initiatives that foster growth and engagement.
• Champion a people-first, performance-driven culture.
• Develop and communicate clear, compliant policies aligned with company values.
• Drive performance management processes to support team success.

Employee Relations:

• Serve as a trusted advisor for employees and managers.
• Resolve conflicts with fairness, consistency, and empathy.

Benefits & Compensation:

• Administer 401(k), health plans, and employee perks supporting well-being.
• Maintain competitive compensation aligned with market trends.

Workplace Safety & Wellness:

• Promote a safe, healthy, and positive work environment, both indoors and outdoors.
• Lead safety training, monitor claims, and ensure compliance.

Qualifications include:

• 5+ years in senior HR/payroll leadership.
• Fluency in employment law, HR best practices, and payroll systems (bonus if familiar with ADP).
• Ability to balance strategic planning with hands-on execution.
• Deep respect for confidentiality, fairness, and equity.
• Passion for team-building and empowerment.
• Comfort in agricultural or dynamic environments with seasonal conditions.

The Not-So-Fine Print:

This is a full-time, exempt position. The work environment includes both office and operational settings—sometimes indoors, outdoors, with background tractor noise. Candidates should be adaptable to seasonal and agricultural conditions.
