Human Resources Manager

Job Description

Job Description

Agape Transportation Management provides non-emergency medical transportation and is growing. We are seeking an experienced, hands-on Human Resources Manager to build clear employee expectations, practical training and consistent follow-through across our approximately 40-person team.

Most employees work in our call center, with additional customer-facing and back-office roles. You will partner closely with leadership and supervisors to strengthen the employee experience and the quality of service our customers receive.

This role requires someone who can take a problem from assessment through a working solution: develop the policy or process, train the team, support managers, check that it is being used and improve it. This is an in-person role in New York City.

COMPENSATION & BENEFITS

• Base salary: $100,000–$140,000 annually, based on relevant experience and qualifications.
• Paid time off: Three weeks per year.
• Sick leave: Five days per year.
• Medical insurance: The company covers 70% of the premium; employees cover 30%.
• Life insurance: Company-provided New York Life term coverage during employment, with the option to purchase expanded coverage at a discounted employee rate.
• 401(k) retirement plan: Pre-tax and Roth contribution options, plus a company contribution equal to 3% of eligible compensation, fully vested immediately, regardless of whether you contribute.
• Additional retirement profit sharing: Eligibility for additional company contributions, subject to program terms, with vesting of 33% after one year, 66% after two years and 100% after three years of service.

WHAT YOU WILL OWN

• Assess current HR practices and establish a practical improvement plan.
• Create and maintain employee policies and a usable handbook, coordinating legal review when appropriate.
• Build consistent hiring, onboarding and offboarding processes.
• Develop and deliver employee and supervisor training in customer-service behaviors, communication, coaching and workplace expectations, with checks that employees understand and apply the training.
• Work with operations leaders to turn service expectations into clear training and performance standards.
• Establish recurring check-ins, performance reviews, coaching documentation and follow-up processes.
• Help managers address performance concerns fairly, promptly and consistently.
• Handle employee concerns and appropriate investigations with discretion, confidentiality, sound judgment and appropriate escalation, involving employment counsel when needed.
• Coordinate employee records, leave administration, benefits and payroll-related changes with the responsible internal teams and outside providers.
• Maintain a practical compliance and training calendar.
• Track implementation and workforce trends and recommend improvements.

Operational supervisors remain responsible for day-to-day staffing, service delivery and direct team management.

WHAT YOU BRING

• Five or more years of progressive, hands-on HR experience, including substantial independent ownership of HR programs or a small-company HR function.
• Fluency in both English and Spanish, spoken and written, is required.

HELPFUL EXPERIENCE

• Contact centers, transportation, logistics, healthcare services, hospitality or a similar service business.
• Experience as a standalone HR manager or lead HR generalist in a small organization.
• SHRM-CP, SHRM-SCP, PHR or SPHR certification.

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE IN THE FIRST 90 DAYS

• A prioritized HR improvement plan with clear owners and deadlines.
• Approved employee policies and a practical rollout process.
• Consistent onboarding and employee check-ins.
• Supervisor training and a working coaching and follow-up routine.
• A clear view of progress, unresolved issues and next steps.
