HR at the YMCA of the Black Hills is more than policies, procedures, and payroll cycles. We're a people‑first organization dedicated to strengthening our community in spirit, mind, and body. That work starts with taking great care of the people who make our mission possible. This is a role for someone patient, kind, and able to explain the same thing four times in a row—each time more creative than the last—without sighing (out loud).

If this sounds like your cup of tea, you might be exactly who we're looking for.

• Support day‑to‑day HR operations that keep our organization running smoothly.
• Process payroll with guidance and review from the Human Resources Director.
• Support onboarding and off‑boarding compliance.
• Maintain accurate employee records.
• Assist supervisors with recruitment processes, job postings, and hiring documentation.
• Serve as the first point of contact for routine HR and payroll questions.
• Help ensure deadlines are met and new employees start their YMCA journey on the right foot.
• Represent the YMCA at hiring fairs and recruitment events.

• Previous HR or administrative experience.
• Payroll exposure or processing experience.
• Strong attention to detail.
• Commitment to confidentiality and follow‑through.
