Job description

At Rushtown Poultry, our people are at the heart of everything we do. We’re building a workplace where individuals are valued, supported, and empowered to grow—personally and professionally. As we continue to lead with integrity in sustainability, animal welfare, and innovation, we’re looking for team members who share our commitment to meaningful work and community. Together, we’re shaping a company culture that reflects care, collaboration, and a shared pride in the quality we deliver every day.

We seek a People Operations Manager to hire, train, and keep the right people so every department runs smoother and more profitably.

This role isn’t about HR paperwork, it’s about finding great people, helping them grow, and keeping them here.

What You’ll Do

• Recruit & Build Relationships: Create a steady flow of quality candidates by building connections with schools, job centers, and the community. Keep our job postings sharp and visible.
• Onboard the Right Way: Make sure every new hire starts strong with clear expectations, good training, and the right manager support.
• Develop Leaders: Hold consistent one‑on‑ones with supervisors and managers to uncover challenges, set goals, and grow leadership skills.
• Connect with Employees: Be out among the people. Check in regularly, listen, recognize wins, and bring real feedback to leadership.
• Monitor Performance & Attendance: Review simple weekly data to spot trends early and address problems before they grow.
• Support Leadership: Keep files current, align with ownership weekly, and help translate company goals into people strategies that work.

Culture & Engagement

Lead efforts that build connection, communication, and pride across the company, including quarterly "State of the Union" meetings, team events, and company‑wide recognition.

What Success Looks Like

• Strong recruiting pipeline and lower turnover.
• Employees who feel valued, informed, and part of something meaningful.
• Managers who communicate clearly and develop their teams.
• A workplace people are proud to be part of.

Who You Are

Our ideal candidate is someone who naturally builds rapport, earns trust and brings people together—approachable, steady, and grounded. You communicate clearly, follow through on commitments, and bring experience in recruiting and training, or leadership development. You know how to balance empathy with accountability, supporting people while still driving results. And most importantly, you’re excited to help a growing, family‑run company evolve into one of the best places to work in the industry.

Travel

This role is based in Bethel with regular travel to Danville and farm sites in the surrounding area.

Compensation

Competitive pay, PTO, health insurance, and 401(k) match.
