People Operations Manager

People Operations Manager

JOIN US AND BUILD A WORKPLACE WHERE PEOPLE AND TEAMS THRIVE

At Sprague, we believe great companies are built by great people. As we continue to grow across multiple states and markets, we're looking for a People Operations Manager who is passionate about creating programs, systems, and experiences that help employees achieve their highest potential while enabling the business to scale successfully.

Sprague is growing. Growth creates opportunity—but it also creates complexity.

We're looking for someone who can help us build the next generation of People Operations practices by:

• Creating employee experiences that strengthen engagement, development, and retention
• Ensuring compliance across multiple states and jurisdictions
• Scaling people programs, processes, and leadership capabilities as the organization grows
• Coaching managers through challenging employee relations situations while protecting culture and accountability
• Leveraging technology and automation to create consistency, efficiency, and exceptional employee experiences
• Developing people systems that support career growth—not just policy administration

You will partner closely with leaders across the organization to ensure our people practices support both our employees and our business objectives.

This is a hands‑on leadership role for someone who enjoys building, improving, and owning core People Operations processes—not just overseeing them. As People Operations Manager, you will personally lead and execute key programs across recruiting, onboarding, employee relations, performance management, compensation, benefits, leave administration, payroll, compliance, and HR systems, while also developing and guiding a high‑performing team.

Success in this role means rolling up your sleeves to solve problems, streamline processes, improve employee and manager experiences, and leverage technology to scale our people practices. You'll serve as a trusted partner to leaders, strengthen compliance across multiple states, and build programs that support employee growth while helping Sprague continue to grow successfully.

The world deserves safer food, and to live and work in healthier environments. This has been Sprague Pest Solutions’ mission for a full century – a mission we strongly believe in and take great pride in fulfilling.

They set the benchmarks on which Sprague is measured and how we measure ourselves. Our team takes immense pride in our steadfast commitment to innovation and fostering a culture of diversity, inclusivity and respect.
