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; put basics in place for every search; coordinate onboarding end to end with managers and IT and 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 and adjust without drama.
- Performance management: Launch or improve performance and feedback cycles; finish on time; calibrate fairly, document decisions, and track behavior changes each quarter.
- Employee relations and compliance: Triage issues with judgment and documentation, protect confidentiality; keep handbooks and policies current and communicated; manage exits cleanly and report learnings for managers.
- Payroll and benefits: Ensure accurate and timely payroll, including bonus and commission runs; handle annual benefits renewals with brokers and publish clear employee communications; answer benefits and pay questions within two business days.
- Training and manager enablement: Drive completion of required compliance training; build short manager toolkits and SOP one‑pagers that people actually use.
- Executive search support: Partner with the Portfolio Talent team on C‑suite and Board searches: intake, scorecards, pipeline hygiene, diligence, references, and offer documentation.
