You will lead all core HR activities while actively partnering with leadership and employees to further develop a high-performing culture. Your responsibilities will include:

• Manage end-to-end HR operations including employee relations, benefits administration, payroll, 401(k) administration, leave administration, manager annual compensation processes, and compliance with labor laws and company policies.

• Collaborate with Corporate HR on initiatives involving headcount planning, job grading, salary bands, and global programs.

• Degree in Human Resources or Organizational Management.
• 5-7 years of broad HR experience, with a track record of both strategic HR leadership and hands-on execution.
• Background in manufacturing or a 24/7 operation, ideally within a regulated environment like pharma, food, or medical devices.
• Detail oriented—must be able to work with a multitude of manual HR systems/processes to research issues, determine cause, and provide remedy.
• Hands-on working manager who can "roll up their sleeves" to bring programs to fruition.
• Change Management oriented to ensure programs are well implemented and well understood throughout the employee group.
• Exceptional interpersonal skills, with the ability to build trust and influence across all levels of the organization.
• Strong problem-solving ability, sound judgment, and a flexible, service-oriented mindset.
• A self-starter who thrives in a lean team environment and embraces a culture of continuous improvement.
