We are looking for a Senior Human Resources Generalist in Knoxville, TN.

Surrounded by the Smoky Mountains and home to the rambling Tennessee River, the town offers a plethora of outdoor activities and a vibrant downtown. Very few places feature the opportunity to experience live music, culture, outdoor adventures, and acclaimed cuisine in one location. It’s no wonder why Trip Advisor recently named Knoxville as one of the Top 10 Destinations on the Rise.
