Team/Department Overview:

People Team - Reporting to the Director, People & Culture

As an HR Manager, you'll play a critical role in building a high-performance, values-aligned culture at Flock Freight. You'll serve as a trusted partner to leaders and employees across the business, owning key people programs end-to-end - from employee relations and performance management to engagement, compliance, and people operations. You'll leverage data, judgment, and strong relationship-building skills to drive outcomes that are good for both employees and the business.

This is a strategic and hands-on HR role for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, enjoys coaching leaders, and is motivated by building scalable, people-first processes.
What You'll Do

• Partner with leaders across assigned business units as a primary HR point of contact, providing guidance on organizational design, workforce planning, and day-to-day people decisions.
• Own employee relations for your departments, including coaching leaders, conducting thorough and objective investigations, and driving fair, consistent, and compliant outcomes.
• Lead performance management practices within your departments, including goal setting, feedback, corrective actions, and performance improvement planning.
• Drive engagement and retention, maintaining a strong pulse on team health through feedback, surveys, listening mechanisms, and regular touchpoints with managers and employees.
• Use data to inform decisions, analyzing people metrics (attrition, engagement, performance trends, promotions, compensation, etc.) and developing actionable recommendations.
• Ensure compliance and mitigate risk by maintaining up-to-date knowledge of employment law (with a focus on CA and IL), company policies, and HR best practices, partnering with Legal as needed.
• Support compensation and leveling decisions in partnership with People, Finance, and Talent Acquisition team to ensure internal equity, market alignment, and clear role expectations.
• Partner cross-functionally with Talent Acquisition, People Operations, People Development, and business leaders to deliver a cohesive, high-quality employee experience.
• Contribute to and sometimes lead key People programs and projects, such as performance review cycles, manager training, classification work, and policy/process rollouts.
• Model Flock Freight's values and help foster an inclusive, feedback-rich, and high-accountability culture across the organization.

Who You Are

• Strategic and hands-on, equally comfortable advising senior leaders and rolling up your sleeves to execute.
• An excellent coach and communicator who can navigate complex, sensitive situations with empathy and clarity.
• Data-informed, with the ability to interpret people data and translate insights into practical, business-aligned recommendations.
• Organized and detail-oriented, able to manage multiple priorities, stakeholders, and projects in a fast-moving environment.
• Calm under pressure, with strong judgment and the ability to make balanced, fair decisions in ambiguous situations.
• Mission-driven, excited to help build a modern, values-centric freight company where people can do their best work.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of progressive HR/People experience, with at least 2 years in an HR Manager, HR Business Partner, or similar advisory role supporting leaders.
• Experience in a fast-paced, high-growth, or multi-state environment strongly preferred.
• Bachelor's degree in Human Resources, Business, or a related field preferred.
