• Resolve workplace concerns with empathy, consistency, and a strong understanding of operational realities, including shift work and distributed teams.

Compliance & Risk Management

• Maintain working knowledge of federal and multi-state employment laws, including FMLA, FLSA, ADA, and other regulations impacting safety-sensitive and hourly workforces.
• Support consistent policy application across locations while balancing compliance and operational needs.

Total Rewards & Associate Support

• Assist associates and leaders with benefits, pay questions, and issue resolution, reinforcing our People First commitment in a demanding logistics environment.
• Partner with payroll and benefits teams to support accuracy for a multi-state, shift-based workforce.

Culture, Engagement & Equity

• Drive engagement initiatives that resonate with frontline and field associates, promoting fairness, inclusion, and trust across diverse work sites.
• Support leaders in building strong, respectful teams in environments where safety, accountability, and collaboration are critical.

This is an onsite position and may require travel up to 25%

• Strong communication, conflict resolution, and judgment skills in fast-paced, people-intensive environments.

Preferred

• SHRM-CP or PHR certification.
• Experience supporting multi-state operations, safety-sensitive roles, or logistics/transportation environments.
• Exposure to AI-enabled HR tools or people analytics.
