  • Lead the new hire onboarding experience, including background checks, payroll documentation, I-9 verification, Day 1 coordination, and new hire orientation.
  • Maintain accurate employee records in the HRIS system; respond to employment verifications, unemployment claims, and garnishment requests.
  • Lead the performance management process, partnering with managers on consistent execution of reviews and ongoing feedback.
  • Stay current on federal and state employment law (FLSA, FMLA, ADA, paid leave) and share relevant updates with leadership and the HR team.
  • Bring forward recommendations for engagement and retention strategies that support the Company's competitive position.
  • Partner with business leaders to identify talent and competency gaps and develop solutions that strengthen organizational capability.
  • Manage the full recruitment cycle within the ATS—requisitions, candidate flow, hiring manager coordination, and offer preparation.
  • Develop clear, timely HR communications on policies, procedures, and HR initiatives.
  • Serve as a reliable resource on company policies and benefits; partner with the VP of HR on complex policy matters.
  • Maintain compliance with employment law posting requirements across all site locations.

  • Analytical mindset with the ability to interpret data and translate findings into actionable recommendations.
  • Discretion and professionalism in handling confidential information.
