This is a highly visible role supporting a diverse, seasonal workforce that grows significantly during peak operating periods. The HR Manager will report directly to senior leadership and serve as the primary point of contact for employee relations, payroll, benefits, recruiting, onboarding, compliance, and workforce administration.

This opportunity is best suited for an HR professional who enjoys being close to operations, building relationships with employees, and managing the full range of day-to-day HR responsibilities.

• Coordinate seasonal workforce needs and external labor partners
• Process biweekly payroll and approve employee time records
• Administer medical benefits, PTO, and 401(k) records
• Handle employee relations, coaching, disciplinary actions, and workplace concerns
• Manage workers’ compensation and unemployment claims
• Maintain accurate and primarily electronic employee records
• Partner closely with operations and leadership on staffing levels and workforce planning
• Support compliance with employment, workplace safety, and company policies
• Assist employees with questions related to pay, benefits, policies, and workplace matters

• 3–5 years of progressive HR experience
• Hands-on payroll experience; ADP experience is strongly preferred
• Experience supporting an hourly, seasonal, production, manufacturing, distribution, or similarly fluctuating workforce
• Strong employee-relations skills and confidence handling sensitive workplace matters
• Excellent organization, documentation, and follow-through
• Ability to adapt to changing priorities and increased hours during peak periods
• Bachelor’s degree preferred
• SHRM-CP or PHR certification is a plus
• Spanish proficiency is strongly preferred
