Interim I-9 Administrator

THE TEAM YOU WILL BE JOINING Join an established, national organization in the telecommunications and infrastructure services industry with employees located across the country. Partner directly with the HR Manager and CFO on a highly visible compliance initiative that is important to the business. Step into a collaborative, hands-on environment where you will be trusted to own the project, work directly with employees, and drive it through completion. Join a team that values people who can jump in, take initiative, and make an immediate impact. What They Offer You Ownership + Impact: Take the lead on a defined project with a clear finish line: bringing the organization to 100% I-9 compliance. Leadership Exposure: Work closely with HR and Finance leadership rather than being buried within a large administrative team. Flexibility: Primarily remote opportunity with approximately one day per week onsite in Charlotte. Autonomy: Manage the process from identification and employee outreach through completion and final audit. Immediate Value: Walk into a project where your expertise is genuinely needed and where you can see the tangible result of your work. Potential Broader Exposure: As the project progresses, there may be opportunities to support other HR or business needs based on bandwidth. What You Will Be Doing Own the review and completion of approximately 100 outstanding I-9 records for current employees. Communicate directly with employees across the country to collect documentation and complete outstanding requirements. Review employee populations to identify gaps and ensure no records are missed. Apply I-9 and employment eligibility requirements accurately and consistently. Document appropriate updates for current and former employees and maintain clean, audit-ready records. Partner closely with the HR Manager throughout the project while independently driving day-to-day execution. Complete a final audit of the population with the goal of reaching 100% compliance by year-end.
