We specialize in divorce, child custody, modifications, and enforcement, putting children's and families' best interests at the heart of our practice. Founded by Jessica Thaler, who was inspired by personal experiences, the firm infuses empathy, faith, and legal acumen into every case.

 

Our mission is clear: to provide refuge and long-lasting solutions for our clients, making sure they feel heard and protected. We are a trusted ally in and out of the courtroom, offering knowledgeable legal representation alongside spiritual support. Our commitment extends to visiting surrounding counties, implementing community engagement, and maintaining a faith-forward culture where Christian values guide our mission without discrimination.

 

The HR Manager at Thaler Law is a pivotal role designed to establish and enhance the firm’s HR infrastructure. This role exists to transform the current reactive HR situation into a well-structured, proactive department that supports the firm's overarching mission of providing compassionate and effective family law services. The HR Manager will directly impact the firm by reducing legal risks, improving employee engagement, and fostering a cohesive and accountable culture that resonates with both team and clients.

 

 

What you’ll do:

• HR Infrastructure & Compliance: Develop and implement HR systems such as employee documentation, performance tracking, and termination processes to ensure compliance and best practices.
• Culture & Accountability: Drive culture initiatives, plan and execute team meetings, recognition programs, and engagement efforts to create a consistent and enriching work environment.
• People Management Support: Serve as a resource for leadership and managers handling sensitive employee conversations, performance issues, and coaching, easing the emotional burden on senior leaders.
• Risk Mitigation: Identify potential legal risks related to HR practices and implement strategies to mitigate them, including timely escalation to outside counsel when necessary.
• HR Policy Development: Craft and maintain HR policies and procedures aligned with the firm’s values, ensuring clarity and transparency in all employee-related matters.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with firm leadership and operations to ensure people processes, documentation, and accountability systems are consistently executed and supported across the organization.

What we’re looking for: 

• HR Generalist Experience: Proven track record in building or restructuring HR environments within small to mid-sized, founder-led organizations.
• Emotional Intelligence: Demonstrate calmness, groundedness, and high emotional intelligence, especially when interacting with leadership and handling sensitive issues.
• Leadership & Integrity: Confidently push back on leadership when necessary while maintaining high integrity and follow-through.
• Cultural Compatibility: Comfortable and effective in a Christian-forward environment, supporting the firm's faith-based culture and values.
• Risk Management Skill: Experience in identifying and managing HR-related legal risks, ensuring consistent documentation, and strategic escalation.

 

Why you should work here: 

• Impactful Role: Be at the forefront of transforming Thaler Law’s HR landscape, making a significant internal impact that aligns with the firm's mission.
• Growth & Learning: Lead the establishment of critical HR functions and structures, gaining invaluable experience in a supportive legal environment.
• Direct Leadership Access: Work closely with firm leadership, providing strategic advice and support, ensuring HR initiatives align with business goals.
• Faith-Forward Culture: Engage in a values-driven workplace where Christian principles guide both operational and legal practices, fostering a supportive community.
