Head of Employee Relations & HR Compliance

We are hiring an HR Manager to lead HR Operations and build the practices that will carry us through the next phase of growth. You will own employee relations, compliance, benefits, leave, payroll coordination, HR systems, and policy administration, and you will lead a team of two HR Generalists.

Many of our people processes are early in their maturity, and we are moving from an outsourced HR support model toward stronger internal capability. You will be creating structure, not maintaining someone else's. If you are energized by that, and by helping scale an organization from roughly 150 employees toward 600+ employees over the next two years, this is a strong fit.

You will report to the Director of HR & Talent and partner directly with operations, engineering, finance, and executive leadership.

Some processes are still being developed and priorities shift as we grow. Butcher Power Products is in hyper-growth mode and actively building internal HR capability after years of operating within a PEO-supported model. The HR organization is still in the early stages of its transformation, creating a unique opportunity to help shape the function, build scalable systems, and establish practices that will support the company's future growth.

If you want to look back in a few years at an HR organization you helped build rather than one you inherited, this is that opportunity.
