Role Overview

As the HR Manager, you’ll play a key role in establishing and strengthening our HR department. Reporting directly to the HR Director, you will take high-level strategy and turn it into tangible processes, programs, and cultural practices. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in building structure in small or early-stage organizations (startups, small companies, or nonprofits).

What Would You Do?

• Build & Implement HR Processes: Translate HR strategy into actionable systems, policies, and cultural initiatives that support engagement and growth.
• Engagement & Recognition Programs: Develop and manage recognition and value-driven initiatives to boost morale and retention.
• Team Leadership: Oversee and delegate work to a small team of HR volunteers (1 HR Generalist and a couple of HR Admins).
• Recruitment Partnership: Collaborate with the recruiting team to stay informed on hiring needs, open roles, and upcoming new hires.
• Onboarding & Offboarding: Partner with the Onboarding & Offboarding Manager/Specialist to create structured, consistent experiences for incoming and exiting volunteers.
• Cross-Department Collaboration: Serve as a liaison between HR and other department leads to ensure smooth communication across the organization.
• Weekly HR Director Check-ins: Provide progress updates on recruitment, onboarding, compliance, and HR initiatives, and raise any issues that arise.

What We Are Looking for?

• Self-Starter: Strong ability to take ownership and drive initiatives forward with minimal oversight.
• Builder’s Mindset: Experience working in environments where HR processes were created from scratch (small company, startup, or early-stage nonprofit preferred).
• Engagement-Focused: Familiarity with recognition programs and their impact on culture and performance.
• Collaborative Leader: Able to guide and delegate tasks to a small team of volunteers while working cross-functionally with other departments.
• Adaptable & Organized: Skilled at managing multiple responsibilities and setting priorities in a dynamic environment.

Requirements

• Prior HR experience (generalist or manager level, nonprofit/startup/small company experience strongly preferred).
• Availability to volunteer 10-20 hours per week (flexible scheduling).
• Commitment to at least 3 months (ideally 6 months).
• Strong communication and organizational skills.

Why Joining Us?
