You’ll be onsite 5 days per week (Tuesday‑Saturday) with either a 4:00 am‑12:30 pm or 2:00 pm‑10:30 pm shift, supporting our seven‑day, multi‑shift operation and 350+ team members while staying connected to the broader People Ops team through regular virtual collaboration.

As the People Operations Generalist embedded at our Fulfillment Center in Commercial Point, OH, you’ll handle the first pass on employee relations and People Ops requests for 350+ hourly fulfillment team members across three operational shifts, with an onsite Coordinator and Manager providing ongoing support and escalation coverage. This is a hands‑on, team‑member focused role where you’ll serve as the first point of contact for leave management, benefits administration, and compliance matters.

You’ll work collaboratively with your onsite People Ops team while acting as a trusted partner and consultant to warehouse supervisors and operations leadership.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in fast‑paced operational settings, enjoys being on the floor rather than behind a desk, and wants to be deeply involved in the full HR function for a site. You’ll need to think on your feet, handle ambiguity, and work collaboratively with operations to support shared business goals.
