Site HR Lead

Eckert & Ziegler Radiopharma, Inc. | Wilmington, MA | Full-Time | On-Site

About EZRI

Eckert & Ziegler Radiopharma, Inc. (EZRI) is part of the Eckert & Ziegler group, a global specialist in isotope-related products for nuclear medicine and radiation therapy. Our Wilmington, MA site is entering an exciting phase of growth as we build and scale operations to support the future of radiopharmaceuticals and the patients who depend on them. We are looking for mission-driven people who thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative, and highly regulated environment.

The Role

We are seeking a hands-on HR Manager to serve as the Site HR Lead for our Wilmington, MA facility. Reporting to the General Manager, you will own day-to-day HR operations for a growing team of production, quality, and support professionals, and build the processes, policies, and culture that will carry the site through its next stage of growth. This is a role for a doer and a builder: someone equally comfortable resolving an employee concern on the production floor and designing the site’s next performance review cycle.

Payroll processing, HRIS, and benefit plans are administered through ADP TotalSource, and our sister company’s HR team provides benefits and administrative support. You will coordinate closely with both and partner with Corporate HR to align on and deploy harmonized, company-wide HR processes, allowing you to focus on the hands-on work that matters most at the site.

What You’ll Do

• Talent Acquisition:  Lead full-cycle recruitment for production, quality, operations, and administrative roles, partnering with hiring managers on job descriptions, sourcing, screening, interviews, and offers to support the site’s continued growth.
• Onboarding & Pre-Employment:  Coordinate background checks, ensure timely and accurate Form I-9 completion through ADP TotalSource, and deliver an onboarding experience that gets new hires trained and productive from day one.
• Performance Management:  Run the site’s annual performance cycle, including goal setting, reviews, and development plans, and coach managers on feedback, documentation, and performance improvement plans.
• Employee Relations:  Serve as the first point of contact for employee questions and concerns; maintain a visible presence across all areas of the site; conduct fair, timely, well-documented investigations; and advise managers on corrective action and separations, escalating to Corporate HR as appropriate.
• Handbook & Policies:  Own the employee handbook and site policies, drafting and rolling out updates in coordination with the General Manager, and support consistent, day-to-day policy adherence across the site.
• Annual Holiday Schedule:  Set and publish the site’s holiday schedule each year in coordination with the General Manager.
• Compliance & Records:  Ensure compliance with federal and Massachusetts employment requirements (e.g., wage and hour, leave, MA PFML, pay transparency, required postings and training); maintain complete, confidential, audit-ready employee files in ADP; and partner with EHS and Quality on training records required in our FDA-, NRC-, and OSHA-regulated environment.
• Benefits Coordination:  Coordinate benefits for site employees with ADP TotalSource and our sister company’s HR team, including open enrollment, new-hire and life-event changes, and employee questions, and serve as the site contact for payroll changes.
• Leave & Unemployment Claims:  Manage Massachusetts Paid Family and Medical Leave (PFML), FMLA, and other leave requests from notice through return to work, coordinating with ADP TotalSource and the state; and participate in unemployment claims management, including reviewing claims, preparing timely responses and documentation, and representing EZRI at hearings as needed.
• People Reporting:  Prepare a monthly people dashboard and other routine people reports for the General Manager covering headcount, hiring, turnover, time-to-fill, and compliance status, with trends and recommended actions.
• Corporate HR Alignment:  Act as the site’s liaison to Corporate HR, deploying harmonized processes, programs, and policies locally and bringing site needs and feedback back to the corporate team.
• Culture & Engagement:  Lead engagement, recognition, and retention initiatives that build a positive, accountable culture as the site scales.

What Success Looks Like in Your First 12 Months

• Open roles filled with quality hires on plan to support the site’s growth.
• 100% of employee files, I-9s, and background checks complete, accurate, and audit-ready.
