Company Overview

KMM is a privately-heldnational provider of infrastructure logistics, network services, and field support for leading telecom, broadband, and critical infrastructure customers. With ~130 employees across 10 locations nationally, we are building a scalable, people-first organization to support our next phase of profitable growth.

Role Summary

We are seeking a proven HR leader who is both strategic and hands-on - someone who can strengthen, modernize, and scale a lean HR function while managing day-to-day operations across a distributed field, warehouse, logistics, and corporate workforce.

This is a builder role. The right candidate will be energized by the opportunity to develop a team, support a national workforce, strengthen policies and compliance, and drive a strong culture.

This leader will manage our PEO partnership (ADP TotalSource), lead a team that includes an HR Manager and Recruiter, and serve as the trusted HR advisor to executive leadership. The ideal candidate brings sound judgement , operational discipline, strong employee relations experience, and the ability to handle sensitive, high-stakes situations with discretion and confidence.

  • Participate in leadership offsites and contribute to company-level planning as the business scales
  • Deliver executive-quality reporting on HR metrics, workforce trends, and program results
PEO & HR Operations
  • Own the ADP TotalSource relationship - payroll, benefits administration, compliance guidance, and vendor performance management
  • Evaluate the long-term HR operating model as the company grows, including assessing the build vs. buy decision for in-house functions
  • Build and formalize scalable HR processes, policies, and infrastructure across the organization
Employee Relations & Sensitive Situations
  • Manage complex and sensitive employee relations matters - including terminations, performance management, investigations, attendance, conduct, and policy violations.
  • Coach managers on documentation, performance management, accountability, and consistent application of policies and procedures.
  • Support ongoing legal disputes involving HR matters, including coordination with outside counsel and internal documentation
  • Handle sensitive situations with composure, discretion, and sound judgment while protecting both the company and the integrity of the process
Compliance
  • Strengthen HR compliance programs: multi-state labor law, EEO, I-9, wage/hour, leave administration, workers' compensation coordination, safety/incident reporting, and telecom/field regulatory requirements
  • Maintain policies, personnel files, and documentation that hold up to legal scrutiny
  • Partner with Safety, Finance, and Operations to ensure people-related processes are practical, compliant, and consistently executed
Team Leadership
  • Lead, develop, and hold accountable the HR Manager and Recruiter - both direct reports are in place and require active management and development
  • Assess team capability honestly and make recommendations on team structure as the function evolves
Talent Acquisition & Culture
  • Build a practical recruiting engine for field technicians, warehouse employees, logistics roles, skilled hourly labor, and corporate positions
  • Improve job postings, candidate flow, interview discipline, hiring manager accountability, and onboarding experience
  • Help shape a culture of accountability, consistency, field support, and practical problem-solving across a distributed workforce.
  • Build and own employer branding efforts - LinkedIn presence, careers site content, job postings
  • Partner with operations leaders to forecast workforce needs and reduce reactive hiring
Finance Partnership
  • Partner with Finance on compensation planning, job architecture, bonus programs, headcount planning, workforce cost reporting, and labor-related analysis
