HR Manager (Hybrid in Southern/Southwestern NJ)

Join a People-First, In-House HR Firm That’s Changing the Game!

At Monarch, we’re not your typical HR firm—we’re agile, hands-on, and deeply personal. Based in Glen Rock, NJ, and proudly woman-owned, we believe that strong relationships drive success. Our mission? To empower businesses with smart, scalable HR solutions while fostering inclusive, respectful workplaces—no exceptions.

We’re looking for a self-starting, detail-obsessed, and solutions-driven HR Manager to join our team. If you thrive in fast-paced environments, love solving HR challenges, and have strong payroll expertise, this is your chance to make an impact! We’re looking for someone who can align HR initiatives with business goals and proactively support organizational growth. While you’ll need a solid HR foundation (compliance, employee relations, performance, talent), you should also speak the language of business and understand how HR impacts revenue, productivity, and company culture.

This position will start at approximately 25 hrs a week, with full-time potential.

Why You’ll Love This Role

• You’ll be the go-to HR partner for multiple businesses, guiding leaders and teams to better performance and culture.
• You’ll handle a wide variety of work—from recruitment and onboarding to compliance, payroll, and performance management.
• You’ll work in a collaborative, supportive team that values people as much as process.
• You’ll have flexibility, meaningful work, and the chance to directly impact client success.

What You’ll Do:

Strategic – How You Think:

• Serve as a trusted advisor to leadership, aligning HR initiatives with business goals to proactively support growth.
• Build strong relationships at all levels, providing thoughtful guidance and influencing outcomes without escalating every issue.
• Spot patterns and anticipate challenges — for example, if turnover trends emerge, you investigate root causes and propose solutions rather than waiting for direction.
• Speak the language of business, connecting HR strategies to revenue, productivity, and culture.
• Balance compliance and people-first thinking to create a thriving workplace for every client.

Tactical - How You Deliver Results:

• Recruitment & Onboarding: Partner with Monarch’s internal experts to execute the full recruitment cycle, craft compelling job descriptions, and ensure smooth onboarding and offboarding experiences.
• Employee Relations: Handle coaching plans, performance conversations, and workplace issue resolution with professionalism and empathy.
• Payroll & Benefits: Administer payroll changes, manage benefits, handle garnishments/tax levies, and research discrepancies to keep processes accurate and compliant.
• Compliance & Training: Send and track compliance training, update policies/handbooks, and maintain adherence to federal, state, and local laws.
• HR Operations: Keep SOPs, employee files, and HR systems (like Gusto or BambooHR) accurate, organized, and up-to-date; generate HR and payroll reports as needed.
• Compensation Support: Support compensation strategy, and ad hoc market pricing, when needed.

What Makes You a Great Fit

• Experience supporting multiple business units or as an HR consultant preferred.
• 5+ years of HR experience (HRBP, HR Generalist/Manager, or similar).
• Payroll expertise is a huge plus (FPC or CPP certification preferred).
• Experience with ADP, Workday, Paychex, or UKG preferred
• Bilingual (Spanish/English) is a plus
• Strong communicator—you over-communicate rather than under-communicate.
• Love solving complex HR/payroll challenges with a proactive mindset.
• Detail-obsessed, highly organized, and comfortable in a fast-paced, remote setting.
• Experience with HRIS systems like Gusto, BambooHR, etc. would be great!
• Passionate about Inclusion and Belonging in the workplace.
• Depending on experience, salary range is between $35/hour ($72,800) - $45/hour ($93,600)
• PTO: Up to 20 hrs/year (part-time); Unlimited PTO if full-time.
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance for the employee plus 1 dependent
• Hybrid Work—work from anywhere that has a strong Wi-Fi connection in NY/NJ. While this is a work from home role, there is approximately 25% - 50% onsite client visits required, weekly.

If you’re ready to make an impact, work with amazing clients, and be part of a team that truly values people, we’d love to hear from you! Apply today and let’s build something great together!
