Senior Human Resources Manager

We are a leading Midwest-based recruiting firm partnering with a premier manufacturer on the north side of Indianapolis to identify a standalone Senior HR Generalist to lead their people operations.

This is the "sweet spot" for an HR professional who wants the stability of a 10-year average employee tenure combined with the high-growth trajectory of a $35M PE-backed organization.

Reporting directly to the CFO, you will own the HR function. You aren’t just managing a process; you are a strategic partner shaping the culture of an 80-person team and championing the goal of becoming one of Indiana’s Best Places to Work.

You’ll join a collaborative leadership team.

  You are the sole HR practitioner, providing a high-touch presence for 55 hourly and 20 office employees.
• The Tools:
  Utilize modern platforms for recognition and data-driven metrics to guide leadership.
• The Flexibility:
  While this is an on-site role, the culture supports genuine work-life integration (flexible start times and WFH for family needs/appointments).

• Culture Champion:
  Lead engagement initiatives and retention strategies to maintain industry-leading tenure.
• Talent Acquisition:
  Manage full-cycle recruitment for skilled trades, production, and administrative roles.
• Compliance & Safety:
  Serve as the SME for FMLA, OSHA, and EEOC; maintain the employee handbook and safety protocols.
• Employee Relations:
  Act as a trusted advisor to managers and a visible advocate for the workforce.

• Experience:
  
  5+ years of progressive HR experience in a manufacturing or plant environment.

  Lean Manufacturing familiarity.

• Salary: $90,000 – $105,000 + Annual Bonus
• Stability:
  High-growth revenue and a low-turnover, "people-first" culture.
