Sprague Pest Solutions

Description: JOIN US AND BUILD A WORKPLACE WHERE PEOPLE AND TEAMS THRIVE
At Sprague, we believe great companies are built by great people. As we continue to grow across multiple states and markets, we're looking for a People Operations Manager who is passionate about creating programs, systems, and experiences that help employees achieve their highest potential while enabling the business to scale successfully
Why This Role Matters
Sprague is growing. Growth creates opportunity-but it also creates complexity.
We're looking for someone who can help us build the next generation of People Operations practices by:
Creating employee experiences that strengthen engagement, development, and retention
Ensuring compliance across multiple states and jurisdictions
Scaling people programs, processes, and leadership capabilities as the organization grows
Coaching managers through challenging employee relations situations while protecting culture and accountability
Leveraging technology and automation to create consistency, efficiency, and exceptional employee experiences
Developing people systems that support career growth-not just policy administration
You will partner closely with leaders across the organization to ensure our people practices support both our employees and our business objectives.
What Success Looks Like
This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who enjoys building, improving, and owning core People Operations processes-not just overseeing them. As People Operations Manager, you will personally lead and execute key programs across recruiting, onboarding, employee relations, performance management, compensation, benefits, leave administration, payroll, compliance, and HR systems, while also developing and guiding a high-performing team.
Success in this role means rolling up your sleeves to solve problems, streamline processes, improve employee and manager experiences, and leverage technology to scale our people practices. You'll serve as a trusted partner to leaders, strengthen compliance across multiple states, and build programs that support employee growth while helping Sprague continue to grow successfully.
Why Sprague?
Our Mission
The world deserves safer food, and to live and work in healthier environments. This has been Sprague Pest Solutions' mission for a full century - a mission we strongly believe in and take great pride in fulfilling.
Family-Driven
Family businesses are the backbone of business communities in the regions Sprague Pest Solutions serves and nationwide. As Sprague Pest Solutions celebrates a century-long commitment to protecting businesses from pests it also marks its fourth generation of ownership under the Treleven family.

They set the benchmarks on which Sprague is measured and how we measure ourselves. Our team takes immense pride in our steadfast commitment to innovation and fostering a culture of diversity, inclusivity and respect.
