You will own leave administration (FMLA/LOA) and support a broad set of HR operations including benefits, compensation, payroll, HRIS, compliance, employee relations, performance management, and projects. This role is ideal for an HR professional who thrives on process improvement, coordination, and building trusted relationships across the business.

Why You’ll Love This Role:

  • Own the LOA function: Be the primary contact for FMLA, parental leave, STD, and other leave processes—ensuring compliance, clarity, and care.
  • Broad HR scope: Touch benefits, compensation, payroll, onboarding/offboarding, HRIS, performance management, and employee relations from day one.
  • Build and optimize: Improve SOPs, documentation, workflows, and HRIS utilization; coordinate open enrollment, audits, and vendor implementations.
  • Trusted partner: Work closely with leaders on policy updates (e.g., employee handbook and intranet content) and compliance reporting.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Administer employee leaves (FMLA, STD, parental, and other LOAs): case intake, documentation, tracking, notices, and cross‑functional coordination; maintain confidentiality at all times.
  • Support benefits, compensation, compliance, HR projects, performance management, and employee relations.
  • Manage payroll inputs and partner with payroll on reconciliations and issue resolution; ensure accurate records management.
  • Lead and support project coordination for open enrollment, audits, and third‑party vendor implementations.
  • Maintain and refine SOPs, HRIS documentation, and process optimization steps; help drive data integrity.
  • Assist with legal compliance tasks and required reporting; track deadlines and prepare filings.
  • Update the employee handbook and curate relevant content for the HR intranet.
  • Serve as the primary point of contact for leave‑related questions from employees and managers.
  • Provide recruitment support as needed (posting, screening, and scheduling).

Qualifications and Skills:

  • Bachelor’s Degree required.
  • 5+ years of progressive Human Resources experience.
  • 2+ years of hands‑on leave administration (FMLA/LOA) experience.
  • Advanced Excel proficiency (VLOOKUP, pivot tables, and custom reporting).
  • Strong HRIS exposure (ADP preferred).
  • Proven project coordination, process improvement, and optimization skills.
  • Working knowledge of employment law and compliance across federal/state/local levels.
  • Strong communication, organization, discretion, and confidentiality in all interactions.
  • Recruitment experience is a plus; professionalism and stakeholder presence are essential.

Compensation Range: $65,000 - $90,000

Benefits Offered: 3 weeks of vacation, paid sick leave where applicable by state law, Medical Insurance, Dental Insurance Vision Insurance, 401K, and Life Insurance.
