The Right Fit
This role is best suited for someone who is hands-on, decisive, and comfortable taking ownership. You should be able to walk into a conversation with operational or senior leadership, understand the issue quickly, ask the right questions, and confidently guide the discussion toward a solution.

Candidates coming from an HR Manager, Regional HR Manager, Senior HR Generalist, HR Business Partner, or similar background are encouraged to apply if they bring the required union, California, and multi-site experience.
