Human Resources Manager

HR Professional Opportunity At Truce Law

Truce Law is a 38-person collaborative divorce law firm in Seattle on pace to double by the end of 2026. We've built a solid HR foundation — recruiting, onboarding, and processes are in place — and we're looking for an experienced HR professional to own it, systematize it, and scale it with us. If you want to be the dedicated HR owner at a fast-growing, mission-driven law firm — and you're an AI-curious operator who's energized by hybrid work in a real team environment — we'd love to meet you.

What We Offer

• Medical, Dental, Vision: Employer-paid coverage for employees. This is fully covered — no employee premium contribution required.
• Paid Time Off: Four weeks total — three weeks PTO plus a full paid week off for the firm's winter holiday closure.
• Paid Holidays: 10 paid holidays annually.
• 401(k): 3% firm contribution — regardless of employee contribution.
• Performance Bonuses: Tied to role-specific KPIs; paid based on performance outcomes.
• Lifestyle Spending Account (LSA): Firm-funded account for wellness, fitness, and lifestyle expenses.
• Professional Development Stipend: Annual stipend to support certifications, training, and continued HR education.
• Hybrid/Remote Schedule with Flexibility: Seattle-based hybrid/Remote; flexibility within role expectations.
• Firm Technology: Microsoft 365 / Copilot and Claude AI tooling provided. Employer provided Tech package.
• AAA Membership: Roadside assistance, identity theft protection, and discounted pet insurance.

Why This Role

Truce Law has built a functioning HR foundation — recruiting processes, JD templates, onboarding, and offboarding are in place. What this role adds is dedicated ownership: a single professional who holds all of it, keeps it current, and scales it as the firm grows. Payroll is transitioning from the Controller. Trainual needs a day-to-day steward. Compliance is actively managed with Vensure's HR professionals' support, but needs an internal owner to close gaps and keep pace with a firm that is doubling. If you want to own an HR function at a mission-driven law firm that is growing fast and investing in AI-augmented operations — this is that role.

Responsibilities

• Own payroll end-to-end — processing, reconciliation, and employee inquiries — through Vensure, our PEO and payroll platform.
• Manage the full recruiting lifecycle using our existing infrastructure: Wizehire, JD templates, and a structured interview process.
• Partner with Vensure's dedicated HR professional to manage multi-state compliance across WA, CA, WI, GA, HI, OR — plus our Latin America-based EOR staff through Atlas Assistants / GSU.
• Own day-to-day Trainual management — our policy library and Employee Handbook — and design role-based access architecture in partnership with the Operations Manager.
• Manage offer letter workflows, bonus documentation, and the quarterly acknowledgment process for a 38-person team growing to 70+.
• Own employee relations, performance documentation, and attorney licensing compliance — keeping the firm legally sound as it scales.

Qualifications

• 3–5+ years of HR generalist experience — you have owned payroll, recruiting, and compliance independently, not just supported them.
• End-to-end payroll experience through a PEO or payroll platform. Vensure experience is strongly preferred. This is not a first-time payroll role.
• Multi-state compliance experience or a track record of managing it alongside a PEO. We have staff in multiple states and an active compliance partnership with Vensure.
• Strong process and documentation discipline — you can receive an existing function, document what isn't yet documented, and improve what exists.
• AI fluency and trajectory — you use AI tools (Copilot, Claude, or comparable) in your current HR work and are actively investing in deeper integration. We care more about appetite than expertise.

Nice to Have

• Law firm or professional services experience — familiarity with attorney licensing, WSBA compliance, and CLE tracking is a plus.
• Direct Vensure platform experience — candidates with Vensure knowledge will have a meaningful Day 1 advantage.
• Familiarity with DocuSign and Trainual (or equivalent e-signature and LMS platforms).
• SHRM-CP, PHR, SHRM-SCP, or SPHR certification.
• Local Seattle area location — preferred for hybrid in-office presence.

Compensation $70,000 - $90,000 yearly
