Human Resources Manager

HR Manager

The HR Manager is a vital, multi-functional leadership role responsible for executing our high-volume seasonal workforce operations, managing employee benefits, and processing end-to-end payroll. This position serves as the primary operational anchor for our annual scaling cycle, which requires rapidly expanding the team from 100 to over 200 employees for the busy summer season and structuring the subsequent offboarding transition.

Reporting directly to the GM/COO, this role focuses heavily on strategic and day-to-day personnel management—driving full-cycle recruitment, structured onboarding, corporate policy enforcement, benefits administration, and team-building initiatives—while coordinating with the finance department to ensure impeccable execution of technical payroll compliance.

• Onboarding & Personnel Compliance: Manage the complete administrative lifecycle of all personnel through Paylocity's onboarding module. Ensure strict regulatory compliance, including the timely collection and verification of I-9 documentation, employee files, background checks, and employment agreements.
• Benefits Administration: Manage company benefit programs within the platform. Oversee annual open enrollment periods, process life-event changes, audit monthly billing, and serve as the primary resource to assist employees with health, welfare, and retirement inquiries.
• Workforce Engagement & Culture: Design, implement, and lead team building and morale initiatives to support staff retention and motivation. Coordinate and attend occasional evening employee events, staff meetings, and recognition programs.
• Payroll & Labor Compliance: Process accurate and timely payroll for our fluctuating workforce using Paylocity. Maintain and audit payroll records, track hours, and ensure strict compliance with federal, state, and local labor laws. Coordinate directly with the Finance Department for ledger reporting and labor variance analysis.
