Role Summary
Our client is an established property and casualty insurance brokerage that values its people and long-term relationships. They're hiring a Human Resources Manager to take full ownership of the HR function, from payroll and benefits to employee relations.
You'll run the day-to-day of HR for the organization. You'll own payroll through ADP, administer benefits, handle employee relations, and keep the company compliant and well-run as it grows. You'll be the go-to person employees and leadership rely on for anything people-related.
This is a stable, professional environment for someone who wants to run their own shop. If you've done HR inside the insurance industry, know ADP cold, and want real ownership rather than a narrow slice, this fits.
Responsibilities
- Own and process payroll through ADP, keeping records, deductions, and reporting accurate and on time.
- Administer employee benefits, including open enrollment, carrier coordination, and leave administration.
- Handle employee relations: coaching managers, resolving issues, and conducting investigations as needed.
- Manage recruiting, onboarding, and offboarding, and maintain HRIS records and reporting.
- Keep the company compliant with federal and New Jersey employment law, and maintain the handbook and HR policies.
- Partner with leadership on performance management, compensation, and headcount planning.
Qualifications
- Property & Casualty insurance industry experience (required).
- Power-user proficiency with ADP payroll systems (required).
- Several years of progressive HR experience, including HR generalist or HR manager responsibilities.
- Working knowledge of federal and New Jersey employment law, benefits administration, and employee relations.
- Strong organization, discretion, and communication skills, with the ability to run the function independently.
- Bachelor's degree preferred. SHRM-CP, SHRM-SCP, PHR, or SPHR a plus.
Why Apply
You get to own the entire HR function, not a sliver of it, inside a stable, people-first organization. The comp is strong at $130,000 to $150,000 with benefits and PTO, and the hybrid schedule gives you one day remote.
This is a place that values long-term partnerships, so it's built for someone who wants to settle in and make the function their own.
