Human Resources (HR) Generalist

This is your Human Resources opportunity to own the full human resources function inside a small, growing company where your work matters every day.

If you enjoy variety, thrive in a hands on environment, and want a role where you are trusted to handle everything from employee relations to onboarding to office operations, this could be your perfect fit.

You will work directly with leadership and outside legal counsel, supporting a close-knit team where no task is too big or too small. This is not a corporate HR role focused on strategy decks and meetings all day. This is a roll up your sleeves, get it done opportunity where you are the person everyone counts on to keep the office, the employees, and the processes running smoothly.
