Job description

If you can turn a vague "how are we doing?" into a precise answer, BKD's Senior HR Manager role belongs to you. You won't find a tighter fit if you've got 6 years, want $104,000 - $149,000, and crave a business team that lets you lead.

Key Responsibilities

• Drive adoption of new tools and systems across the organization
• Run market sizing exercises to prioritize expansion in Victorville
• Time the Victorville launch against what BKD can realistically staff
• Build consensus across HR Business Partnering and PHR Certification owners who rarely agree
• Build the financial case for hiring before the business team drowns
• Turn a craft-obsessed board mandate into work the business team can start Monday
• Translate BKD goals into quarterly roadmaps the business team can actually ship
• Smooth the handoff between FMLA Administration closing and HR Business Partnering onboarding

What You'll Bring

• Familiarity with the rhythms of an impact-driven freelance team
• A steady hand when three priorities all claim to be number one
• The judgment to distinguish a fire drill from an actual fire
• Self-motivated and able to work independently with minimal oversight
• A collaborative mindset and genuine enthusiasm for teamwork
• Self-direction that survives a quiet Slack channel
• The kind of ownership that treats the company's money like your own

Ask anyone in Victorville about BKD and you'll hear the same thing: a clarity-seeking crew that ships fast and sweats the PHR Certification details. We believe the best business decisions get made closest to the work, not three floors up.

This manager role pays $104,000 - $149,000 and surrounds it with coaching, coverage, and hours that respect your weekends in CA.
