• Manage and maintain HRIS data, ensuring employee records are accurate, complete, and current.
• Support onboarding activities, including data entry, documentation, and coordination with internal stakeholders.
• Promote workforce engagement in a high-volume, hourly environment by serving as a visible and approachable HR resource.
• Serve as a frontline point of contact for employees, providing guidance and support in both English and Spanish.
• Partner closely with HR, Payroll, and Finance teams to coordinate processes, resolve issues, and maintain efficient operations.
• Contribute to maintaining a professional, compliant HR function in a non-union manufacturing environment.

• Exposure to payroll processes, including timekeeping, reporting, and audits.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to interact effectively across all levels of the organization.
• High attention to detail with strong data entry and validation skills.
• Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, open-office HR setting.
