• Associate's degree in Human Resources, Business Administration, or a related field (or equivalent experience)
• Solid knowledge of employment law, benefits administration, and HR best practices
• A warm, professional communication style - you connect easily with people at all levels
• strong organizational skills and attention to detail; you keep records clean and compliance tight
• ability to handle sensitive information with discretion and sound judgment
• comfort working both independently and collaboratively in a team environment
• Proficiency with HRIS and payroll systems; experience with benefit carriers (BCBS, Voya, USAble, etc.) is a plus

Compensation & Benefits

Salary Range: $62,000 - $68,000 annually, commensurate with experience

• Comprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage
• Retirement savings plan
• Paid time off and company holidays
• A collaborative, mission-driven workplace where your work genuinely matters
