Human Resources Generalist

Role Description

Are you a resourceful HR professional with a few years under your belt, looking for a role where you can truly own your success? We are looking for a remote (living/working in California, Nevada, or New Mexico only), full time HR Generalist who thrives in a diversified, dynamic environment. This isn't a role where you'll just be handed a checklist. We value a healthy balance of independent problem-solving and collaboration. This is the perfect opportunity for someone who has broad, hands-on experience across the entire HR lifecycle (Onboarding, Benefits, Compliance, Recruiting) and is still eager to grow and excel in a core Generalist capacity.

What You’ll Do

• System Optimization (Rippling): Partner with leadership to master and optimize our Rippling backend for maximum efficiency.
• Recruiting & Talent Acquisition: During high-growth periods, recruiting can make up to 70% of this role. You will post jobs, manage Indeed/referral sources, conduct initial phone screenings, schedule interviews, and ensure a stellar candidate experience.
• Benefits & Open Enrollment (OE): Own the OE setup in Rippling with meticulous attention to detail. Work directly with our broker team to process, review, and finalize year-end changes to ensure a seamless transition into the new year.
• Compliance & Year-End Operations: Lead end-of-year and beginning-of-year compliance processes independently. You'll also review monthly benefits invoices to initiate the accounting reconciliation, update the employee handbook, and refresh our safety plan.
• Core HR Operations: Manage documentation, track LOAs, coordinate onboarding/offboarding, and handle HR introductions for new hires.
• Vendor Management: Help monitor and maintain relationships with our 401(k) and Workers’ Comp vendors.
• Culture & Connection: Brainstorm and execute creative initiatives to foster wellness, wellbeing, and authentic connection among our remote and in-office teams.
• Potential future growth into helping with payroll processing.
• This is a new position so it will change and evolve as the company grows.

Qualifications

• 3–5 years of progressive HR experience, with a solid foundational understanding of HR compliance, benefits administration, and full-cycle recruiting.
• Solid understanding of California wage and hour laws and best practices.
• HRCI or SPHR certification a plus.

Requirements

• Prior experience with Rippling (or a similar modern HRIS) is highly preferred.
• You should be comfortable navigating systems and looking for ways to automate or streamline workflows.
• Experience with California and Federal wage & hour laws.

Core Traits

• Curiosity & Learning: You want to know the "why" behind the "what."
• Adaptability: You can pivot quickly from a deep-dive compliance review to an enthusiastic candidate screening call.
• Motivation & Ownership: You drive your own success and take pride in high-quality execution.
• Teamwork: You communicate proactively and collaborate seamlessly across distances.

While this is a full-time, remote position; candidates must live/work in California, Nevada, or New Mexico.
