We're looking for an HR Manager to become a trusted HR partner for our operations across Indiana, Missouri, and Tennessee. This is a hands-on, visible role for an HR professional who enjoys being in the field, building relationships with frontline team members and managers, and solving problems the right way the first time.

Reporting to the Head of Human Resources, the HR Manager will independently support approximately 80–90 employees throughout the employee lifecycle-from hiring and onboarding to employee relations, leave, compliance, safety, engagement, and retention.
