Human Resources Manager (3 Days Onsite)

8609 W Bryn Mawr Ave, Suite 204, Chicago, IL 60631

 

 

We’re Hiring: People Operations Manager (a.k.a. The Heartbeat of Our Team!) 

Do you believe that great HR is more than just policies and paperwork? Are you equal parts strategic mastermind and people whisperer? Do you throw confetti (metaphorically… or literally, we don’t judge) when someone nails their goals, feels heard, or finds joy at work?

If you’re nodding your head, we want YOU to be our next People Operations Manager. 

We’re looking for a culture champion, people pro, and process guru who’s ready to lead the charge in making our organization an even better place to work. From employee relations to engagement, from payroll to performance management—you’ll touch every stage of the employee lifecycle and help us bring our people-first philosophy to life.

What You’ll Do:

  • Team Leadership: Manage, mentor, and support the professional development of the People Operations team to ensure high-quality HR service delivery across the organization.
  • Employee Experience & Culture: Lead initiatives that enhance the employee experience, including onboarding, engagement programs, DEIB (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging) efforts, and recognition activities that foster a positive workplace culture.
  • Strategic HR Partnership: Serve as a trusted advisor to organizational leaders, providing guidance on people-related matters and helping teams navigate complex challenges with empathy and strategic insight.
  • Performance Management: Oversee the performance review process, goal setting, and development planning. Provide tools and training to ensure consistent, constructive feedback and professional growth opportunities across all teams.
  • Policy & Compliance: Maintain up-to-date and legally compliant HR policies and procedures. Ensure organizational adherence to federal, state, and local employment laws while fostering fairness and transparency.
  • Payroll & Benefits Administration: Oversee payroll processing and benefits administration to ensure accuracy, timeliness, and employee satisfaction. Continuously assess and enhance total rewards offerings to remain competitive and aligned with employee needs.

What You Bring:

  • A bachelor’s degree in HR, Business, or a related field (or equivalent experience with lots of heart).
  • 5+ years of progressive HR experience, including 2+ in a leadership.
  • You’ve been there, done that with employee engagement, employee relations, performance management, and payroll and benefits (Paylocity experience = gold star ).
  • You’re a wizard with employment law, never forgetting the human behind the handbook.
  • Bonus points if you’ve worked in ABA, healthcare, or multi-site environments.

Why You’ll Love It Here:

  • Mission-driven work with a team that truly cares about people—clients and staff.
  • An environment where new ideas are encouraged, and growth is constant.
  • Plenty of opportunities to make a real impact and shape the future of our workplace.
  • Oh, and we like to have a little fun, too. 

What You'll Receive:

This is a full-time, salaried, exempt position with a compensation range of $85,000 – $92,000, commensurate with experience.

We offer a robust and thoughtful total rewards package that includes:

  • 8% Shared Success Bonus Plan
  • Annual Performance-Based Increases
  • Up to 30 days of paid time off (including company holidays, sick leave, paid leave, vacation, wellness, and floating holidays) 
  • Monthly Mobile Device Reimbursement
  • Comprehensive Benefits – Medical, Dental, Vision
  • Disability and Life Insurance
  • Paid Parental Leave
  • 401(k) with Company Match
  • Monthly Wellness Reimbursement
  • Commuter Benefits
  • Hybrid Work Environment (3 days onsite)

We believe when our people thrive, so does our organization—and we put our money (and benefits) where our mission is.

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
