Human Resources Business Partner

Naniq is seeking a strategic and hands-on Human Resources Business Partner (HRBP) to support our Hawaii-based operations and regional teams. This role partners closely with leaders to align people strategies with business goals, enhance employee engagement, and drive organizational performance in a dynamic, fast-paced logistics environment.

The ideal candidate is comfortable balancing strategic initiatives and day-to-day HR execution, with strong experience in employee relations, leadership coaching, and compliance.

Naniq is a third-party logistics company dedicated to providing the most innovative solutions for the Multinational Logistics Corporations (MLCs) we serve.
