Human Resources Manager

Night Shift Brewing is seeking a dynamic Human Resources Professional to join our growing team. The ideal candidate is committed to ensuring a best-in-class employment experience for our team from recruitment and selection to retention to offboarding and everything in between!

With a mix of soft and technical skills, the HR Manager will ensure the day-to-day operations of the HR function runs smoothly. A true generalist, the successful candidate will be able to seamlessly switch between detail-oriented responsibilities such as payroll and benefit administration, providing thoughtful guidance to employees and managers on employee relations and performance issues, and partnering with the Director of Human Resources on a variety of strategic initiatives.

This is a great opportunity for someone who doesn’t see themselves as the typical HR professional. They are approachable, down-to-earth, and can live within the gray space that is often the reality in a growing organization while still ensuring the company is in compliance with all laws and regulations. We’re looking for someone who is down-to-earth, able to pivot quickly, and is able to balance being an employee advocate while wearing their “business” hat.

While this is a hybrid role, weekly presence in our Everett and Boston locations is required. It's important that our team gets to know you!
