HR Manager, Operations

Lead HR Operations for the Pacific Northwest's Largest Physician-Owned Dermatology Practice

At Frontier Dermatology, we're building an HR function that's as thoughtful, scalable, and people-centered as the organization it supports. As our HR Manager (Operations), you'll play a pivotal leadership role in shaping the infrastructure behind a growing healthcare organization with more than 650 employees across 40+ clinic locations in Oregon and Washington. This role offers the opportunity to make a lasting impact on the employee experience while helping build the next chapter of our HR organization.

This is more than a traditional HR Manager role. You'll lead a talented HR operations team while driving meaningful initiatives across compensation, leave administration, benefits, HRIS, and compliance. If you're looking for a leadership opportunity where you can shape systems, mentor a team, and influence organizational success, we'd love to hear from you.

This position is expected to be based in the Portland metro area with a hybrid work arrangement. We recognize that outstanding talent isn't limited by geography, and exceptional candidates residing elsewhere in Oregon or Washington may also be considered.
