• 2+ years of experience in an HR role (generalist, coordinator, or specialist background welcome)
• HS diploma required, bachelor's degree preferred
• A genuine interest in people, problem-solving, and process improvement
• Strong organizational skills and comfort managing multiple priorities at once
• Solid communication skills — you can explain policies clearly and handle sensitive conversations with discretion

• SHRM-CP, PHR, or working toward certification a plus
