Job description

Senior HR Business Partner (HR Manager)
Fairfield, California | Hybrid, 3 days in office | $137,000 to $158,000 base plus cash bonus

Hoxton Circle is partnering with a fast-growing, private equity-backed consumer packaged goods company to hire a Senior HR Business Partner. Reporting to the Chief People Officer, you’ll be the go-to HR partner for leaders and employees across a national workforce with a large California presence.

The company is investing in its HR function, and this role will help shape how it runs as the business scales. It’s a hands-on seat where you’ll advise leaders on real business decisions, launch programs that matter to employees, and be the person people trust to get things done.

Why this role

• Broad scope. You’ll cover employee relations, talent, performance, compensation, M&A and HR systems, with room to go deep in the areas you enjoy and build experience in the ones you don’t know yet.
• Room to build. You’ll shape policies, processes and programs from the ground up, working closely with operations, finance and leadership.
• Real influence. Leadership brings HR into strategic decisions. You’ll report to the Chief People Officer and work regularly with the rest of the C-suite.
• Budget behind it. The company is putting real money into HR, so you’ll have the resources to launch new programs and test ideas.
• A strong workforce. The team is hardworking, positive and engaged, spanning frontline employees, corporate staff and leaders across multiple locations.
• A path to leadership. There are no direct reports today, and you’ll help build the HR team as the company grows.

What you’ll do

• Advise senior and frontline leaders on organizational design, workforce planning and people strategy
• Track HR metrics such as turnover, retention, absenteeism, overtime and headcount to spot trends and recommend action, and partner with Finance on headcount and budgets
• Lead employee relations, coaching, performance management, talent strategy, learning and development, and engagement
• Manage California and multi-state compliance, including wage and hour, leaves of absence, policies and required training
• Run goal-setting and compensation review cycles
• Support hiring plans, onboarding, succession planning and leadership development
• Lead HR due diligence and integration for acquisitions, including employee communications, policy alignment and onboarding into UKG
• Own employee data, reporting and process improvement in UKG
• Mentor new HR team members as the function grows

What you bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Human Resources, Business or a related field, or equivalent experience
• 4+ years of progressive HR experience, including at least 2 years as an HR business partner or HR manager
• Deep knowledge of California employment and wage and hour law
• Multi-state HR experience at a company with 600+ employees, or comparable complexity
• SHRM-SCP, SPHR or PHR-CA certification strongly preferred

Nice to have

• Experience with UKG Pro, UKG Ready or UKG Dimensions
• Private equity-backed or high-growth company experience, including acquisition integration
• Bilingual in English and Spanish
• Labor relations experience

Compensation and benefits

• Base salary of $137,000 to $158,000, plus a cash bonus, with final pay based on experience and skills
• Medical, dental, vision, 401(k) and paid time off
• Hybrid schedule, three days a week
