HR Generalist

 We’re looking for an HR Generalist to join our small but mighty HR team of two. This role gets the full mix of HR — supporting employees and leaders across onboarding, benefits, recruiting, engagement, compliance, special projects, and payroll-related support.

At the heart of our HR work is one simple goal: to enhance the employee experience. We want employees and leaders to feel informed, supported, and cared for, and this role helps make that happen through thoughtful communication, strong follow-through, and a genuine willingness to help.

This is a great fit for someone who enjoys variety, thrives in a busy and fast-paced role, and is comfortable working independently while staying connected to the team. We’re looking for someone who can support the day-to-day details of HR while also using technology, strengthening processes, and finding better ways to make work easier for our teams.
