Job description
We’re a fast-growing, private equity–backed manufacturing business with circa $200m in revenue. We’re looking for a hands-on, commercially minded HR Manager to partner directly with our COO and leadership team to scale our people function, strengthen operations, and drive value creation.
About the role
You’ll own HR for our manufacturing operations, covering both hourly plant employees and salaried staff. This is a high-impact role where you’ll build robust HR processes, support operational excellence, and help execute our PE-backed growth plan through disciplined talent and performance management.
Key responsibilities:
Talent acquisition & workforce planning
Lead full-cycle recruiting for hourly and salary roles across production, maintenance, quality, engineering, and office functions.
Partner with the COO and plant leaders on headcount planning, labour cost analysis, and staffing strategy to support production targets and growth/add-on acquisitions.
Employee relations & performance management
Act as the first point of contact for employee issues; coach supervisors on performance, discipline, and difficult conversations.
Manage investigations, grievances, and terminations in line with policy and law; run structured performance review and goal-setting cycles.
HR policies, compliance & risk (manufacturing focus)
Maintain and update the employee handbook and HR policies for a multi-site manufacturing environment.
Ensure compliance with federal and Florida employment laws (wage & hour, FLSA, FMLA, ADA, EEO, workers’ comp, OSHA-related collaboration with EHS).
Compensation, benefits & payroll coordination
Administer benefits programs, manage open enrollment, and work with brokers on cost-effective plans for hourly and salaried teams.
Oversee or coordinate payroll preparation and approvals; support labour cost tracking and reporting for the COO/CFO.
Learning, development & culture in a plant environment
Identify training needs for frontline leaders and key plant roles; coordinate technical and leadership training pathways.
Drive engagement, safety culture, and retention initiatives tailored to shift-based manufacturing teams.
HR operations, systems & reporting
Maintain accurate employee records in our HRIS; standardise onboarding/offboarding and core HR workflows.
Provide regular HR metrics to the COO (turnover, absenteeism, time-to-fill, overtime, workers’ comp, engagement) and contribute to PE reporting packs and diligence on add-ons.
What you’ll bring
Strong level of HR experience
Manufacturing, CPG or industrial environment sector experience highly desirable
Strong knowledge of US employment law, plus practical experience with hourly/shift-based workforces and union/non-union settings as applicable.
Proven ability to build practical HR processes from scratch and improve existing ones (recruiting, onboarding, performance, policies).
Excellent stakeholder management; confident partnering with a COO, plant managers, and senior ops leaders.
HR degree or related field; SHRM-CP/SCP or PHR/SPHR preferred.
Experience in a private equity–backed or high-growth company is desirable; comfortable with rapid change, KPIs, and value-creation plans.
