The HR Coordinator is the administrative engine of the Kansas City HR team — the role that keeps the day-to-day mechanics of the department running accurately, on time, and in good order. At a site of approximately 1,200 employees across Kansas City and Sedalia, MO, the volume of HR administrative activity is substantial and continuous, and this role plays a critical part in ensuring that employees and the broader HR team are well-supported from their first day through their last.

Reporting to the HR Manager, the HR Coordinator handles onboarding logistics, personnel file management, HR inbox triage, I-9 compliance, recruiting coordination support, and a wide range of administrative HR tasks that support the Generalist, Assistant HR Manager, and HR Manager above them. The role works alongside — but does not supervise — the two front desk/reception staff at the Kansas City location, and coordinates with them on employee-facing logistics as needed.

This role is well-suited for someone with a strong administrative background and some exposure to HR who is looking to build a career in human resources. The HR Coordinator is a visible, frontline presence for employees and serves as an important first impression of the HR team.
