Comfortable working with employment counsel and navigating employment-law issues.

Practical, confident, and able to operate independently in a fast-paced environment.

SHRM certification or another recognized HR credential is a plus.

Work Environment
The role is Richmond-based and in-person initially, with hybrid flexibility available once the individual is established. Leadership values in-person collaboration during onboarding and training, with the potential for a couple of work-from-home days per week thereafter.

This is an opportunity for an experienced HR professional to take meaningful ownership of the HR function and serve as a strategic partner to company leadership.
