- Serve as the organization's ADP system owner - responsible for configuration, data integrity, reporting, and user access management.
- Exhibit exceptional stewardship by conducting a full audit of ADP modules in use versus modules available but unused.
- Build and maintain standard HR reports and dashboards to support leadership decision-making and regulatory compliance.
- Partner with IT and vendors on any system updates, integrations, and troubleshooting.

- Serve as the primary organizational contact for benefits vendors, brokers, and carriers.
- Act as the internal resource for employee benefits questions, resolving issues promptly and accurately.
- Track benefit plan performance and costs, and provide the CFO and CPO with the data and analysis needed for renewal negotiations and plan design.
- Oversee the workers' compensation process across all sites, ensuring claims, adjuster contact, and return-to-work are handled consistently by the on-site HR Managers.
- Ensure claim records are maintained accurately.
- Liaise with the organization's workers' comp carrier during escalated and complex matters, where applicable.
- Track claim trends and identify workplace risk patterns; collaborate with operations leadership to reduce injury exposure.
- Own and maintain all core HR policy documents: the employee handbook, leave of absence policies, disciplinary procedures, and workplace safety protocols.
- Ensure policies are current, legally compliant, consistently applied, and clearly communicated across all sites and employee populations.
- Establish a regular review cycle for all HR policies.
- Compassion for animals and the people who love and care for them.
- Deep working knowledge of employment law, wage and hour regulations, and HR compliance requirements.
