An Opportunity to Make an Impact and Grow Your HR Career

Gateway Group Personnel is partnering with a well-established global industrial manufacturer to recruit an experienced Corporate HR Generalist for its Cleveland-area corporate office.

This is an excellent opportunity for an HR professional who enjoys taking ownership, solving problems, and making things happen. Our client is strengthening its HR function and looking for someone who can independently manage day-to-day HR responsibilities while supporting business leaders and employees across North America.

The right person will be proactive, organized, approachable, and confident in their HR judgment.

You'll have meaningful responsibility, exposure to senior leadership, and opportunities to grow into broader HR roles as the organization expands.

What You'll Do

• Serve as a primary HR resource for corporate, commercial, and field employees across North America.
• Manage day-to-day HR transactions, employee requests, onboarding, and administrative processes.
• Support employee relations matters, including investigations, policy interpretation, and compliance concerns.
• Recognize potential HR risks, initiate appropriate action, and escalate sensitive issues when necessary.
• Partner with HR leadership and operational managers to resolve employee and workforce challenges.
• Coordinate employee and driver onboarding, ensuring appropriate documentation and regulatory compliance.
• Help improve HR workflows, processes, and communication across the organization.
• Maintain accurate records, prepare professional communications, and manage confidential employee information.
• Anticipate what needs to happen next, take initiative, and follow through without constant supervision.

What We're Looking For

• At least 3 years of progressive HR experience, preferably in a Generalist or similarly broad HR role.
• Strong understanding of employee relations, employment law, HR compliance, and policy administration.
• Experience supporting manufacturing, industrial, construction, transportation, or other operationally focused workforces preferred.
• Excellent organizational skills and the ability to manage competing priorities independently.
• Sound judgment, professional maturity, and confidence interacting with employees and senior leadership.
• Strong communication skills and a responsive, service-oriented approach.
• Comfortable handling both administrative responsibilities and more complex employee matters.
• Bachelor's degree in Human Resources, Business, or a related discipline preferred; equivalent experience considered.
• HR certification (PHR, SHRM-CP, or similar) and experience with regulated driver onboarding are pluses.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

• Base salary up to $85,000, plus bonus opportunity.
• Hybrid work arrangement following an initial onsite training period.
• Comprehensive benefits package, including paid time off and retirement savings benefits.
• Opportunity to work closely with experienced HR leadership in a growing global organization.
• Exposure to a broad range of HR responsibilities supporting diverse operations.
• Potential career advancement into HR Business Partner, field HR, or plant HR leadership positions.
