Ability to lead with integrity, hold people accountable, and create a culture of consistency
Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities across locations
Experience supporting HR processes including performance management and investigations
A valid driver's license and willingness to travel regularly within your assigned market

What We Offer

Competitive Compensation — Base salary plus monthly allowances and performance based bonuses

401(k) with company match
Career Growth — We promote from within and are committed to your long term development
