• Provide leadership and guidance to HR team members.

• Partner closely with operational leaders across multiple locations.

• Use HRIS technology, reporting, workflows, and automation to improve processes and reduce manual administration.

We're interested in HR leaders who bring:

• 5+ years of progressive HR experience, including HR management and multi-site support.

• Deep, hands-on Employee Relations and investigation experience.

• Strong working knowledge of California leave and employment practices.

• Experience handling LOA and workers' compensation coordination.

• Confidence coaching managers through performance management and corrective action.

• Experience with a comprehensive HRIS, including reporting, tracking, and workflows.

• A practical, hands-on approach to HR and comfort operating in an environment with multiple locations and moving priorities.

• Bachelor's degree in human resources, Business Administration, or a related field.

• Bilingual English/Spanish.

• Manufacturing, distribution, logistics, transportation, or similarly operational environments are especially relevant backgrounds.

Why Consider?
