Job Details

We are looking for an experienced HR manager to step in as a true business partner to leadership and help scale our people processes for the next phase of the company.

This is a high-visibility, “big picture” HR leadership role with a mix of strategic influence and hands-on execution. The right individual will bring experience supporting growth, ideally including M&A integration or multi-site environments, while being comfortable owning everything from organizational design to compliance and safety.

What You’ll Own

• Serve as the lead HR partner to executive leadership, aligning people strategy with business growth goals
• Lead and/or support M&A integration efforts (onboarding, policy alignment, cultural integration)
• Oversee full-cycle HR operations, including employee relations, performance management, and compliance
• Drive improvements in organizational structure, workforce planning, and succession planning
• Partner with operations leadership on safety programs, risk mitigation, and compliance.
• Evaluate and upgrade HR systems, policies, and processes to support scale
• Coach managers on leadership, employee issues, and performance expectations
• Ensure compliance across multi-state labor laws and manufacturing environments

What We’re Looking For

• 5-10+ years of progressive HR experience, with a strong background in manufacturing or industrial environments
• Proven ability to operate at both strategic and tactical levels (“roll-up-your-sleeves” mindset)
• Experience supporting company growth, acquisitions, or integrations strongly preferred
• Background touching safety programs or EHS collaboration (direct ownership is a plus)
• Strong working knowledge of Washington labor laws and HR compliance
• Demonstrated ability to influence leadership and drive change in a fast-paced, evolving environment
• Experience supporting hourly and salaried workforces, ideally in a production setting

Why This Role

• Opportunity to step into a high-impact leadership position with direct visibility to ownership/executive team
• Chance to help shape the next phase of growth for a long-standing, respected manufacturer
• Mix of strategy + execution where you are not siloed
• Stable organization with strong reputation, now entering an expansion phase
