Role Purpose

Cut through noise so operators can build. Your job is to make the people systems simple, humane, and repeatable. When a plant is busy or a lab is stretched, you help managers hire well, give clear feedback, stay compliant, and keep payroll and benefits precise. When needed, you support executive searches with the same clarity: define the need, design the scorecard, move with integrity.

Responsibilities

• Recruitment and onboarding
• Run full cycle recruiting for non-executive roles: spec, sourcing, screening, slate, references, offers.
• Put basics in place for every search: intake notes, scorecards, interview guides, a first slate in 10 business days.
• Coordinate onboarding end to end with managers and IT; confirm day-one readiness
• HR business partnership
• Translate company goals into a 90-day people plan with owners, dates, and five simple metrics.
• Coach managers on headcount, feedback, career steps, and team communication.
• Review progress with operators monthly; adjust without drama.
• Performance management
• Launch or improve performance and feedback cycles, finish on time.
• Calibrate fairly, document decisions, and track what changes in behavior the next quarter.
• Employee relations and compliance
• Triage issues with judgment and documentation. Protect confidentiality.
• Keep handbooks and policies current and communicated.
• Manage exits cleanly, including reporting and learnings for managers.

• Ensure accurate and timely payroll, including bonus and commission runs.
• Handle annual benefits renewals with brokers; publish clear employee communications.
• Answer benefits and pay questions within two business days.

• Build short manager toolkits and SOP one-pagers that people actually use.
• Executive search support
