Job Description
Some HR leadership roles are focused on maintaining existing systems. This one is about building what comes next.
We're looking for a hands-on HR and operations leader who enjoys creating structure, improving accountability, and building the people and administrative systems that support a growing business. You'll work directly with ownership, lead the function, and have the autonomy to improve how the organization operates.
You'll own day-to-day people operations while partnering with outside HR experts on complex compliance and employee relations matters, allowing you to focus on leadership, operational improvements, and developing your team.
If you enjoy building processes, solving operational challenges, and creating lasting improvements, you'll thrive in this role.
You Will
- Lead the company's people operations, office administration, fleet administration, safety administration, and technology coordination.
- Oversee day-to-day HR operations, including onboarding, offboarding, employee documentation, benefits administration, compliance, and employee lifecycle activities.
- Serve as the primary internal HR leader while partnering with outside HR experts on complex employee relations and compliance matters.
- Manage and develop the Office Assistant while helping build the future HR team.
- Oversee safety administration, training records, and compliance documentation.
- Develop reporting, dashboards, and operating rhythms that improve accountability and visibility.
- Identify operational gaps and implement practical, scalable solutions.
- Build systems that reduce executive involvement in day-to-day HR and administrative issues.
You Have
- Leadership experience in Human Resources, People Operations, Business Operations, or Corporate Services within a growing organization.
- Experience building scalable HR processes, policies, and operational systems.
- Strong knowledge of HR compliance, employee lifecycle management, and benefits administration.
- Experience leading and developing HR or administrative team members.
- The ability to build trusted relationships with executives and drive organizational improvements.
- Strong Microsoft 365 skills and the ability to quickly learn new business systems.
Benefits for You
Compensation starts at $160,000–$180,000 , depending on your experience.
You'll receive comprehensive medical benefits, a retirement plan, and the opportunity to play a key leadership role in a growing company. You'll work alongside ownership with the autonomy to build systems, strengthen operations, develop your team, and create the structure that enables the business to continue scaling successfully
