What You’ll Own & Elevate

You’ll touch nearly every part of the employee journey, with responsibilities including:

Payroll & Compliance:

• Manage payroll (via ADP) like a boss and stay laser-focused on wage, hour, and labor law compliance.

Recruitment & Workforce Planning:

• Attract and hire great people. Build talent pipelines. Keep the bench strong.

• Make sure our client has the right people in the right seats at the right time.

Culture & Development:

• Lead onboarding, training, and development programs that keep employees growing and engaged.

• Be the steward of a people-first, performance-driven culture.

Policies & Performance:

• Write, update, and communicate policies that are clear, compliant, and aligned with company values.

• Drive performance management processes that help teams thrive, not just survive.

Employee Relations:

• Be a trusted advisor and resource for team members and managers alike.

• Resolve conflicts fairly, consistently, and with empathy.

Benefits & Compensation:

• Administer 401(k), health plans, and perks that support employee well-being.

• Keep compensation competitive and aligned with market trends.

Workplace Safety & Wellness:

• Promote a safe, healthy, and positive work environment—both physically and emotionally.

• Lead safety trainings, monitor claims, and keep compliance top-of-mind.

You’re a Great Fit If You:

• Have 5+ years of experience in a senior HR/payroll leadership role.

• Are fluent in employment law, HR best practices, and payroll systems (bonus points for ADP).

• Know how to balance strategy with hands-on execution.

• Have a deep respect for confidentiality, fairness, and equity.

• Are passionate about building strong teams and empowering others.

• Can thrive in a dynamic, agriculture-adjacent environment (think tractors, fresh air, and the occasional mud splatter).

The Not-So-Fine Print:

This is a full-time, exempt position. You’ll spend your days in a mix of office and operational environments—sometimes indoors, sometimes outdoors, sometimes with a little background tractor noise. You should be comfortable adapting to seasonal conditions and agricultural settings.
