Excellent opportunity with a high-growth and very interesting global company. Seeking candidates who live within a 5-hour drive of Childress, Texas (for example, living in Dallas-Fort Worth).  Reporting into a great boss and working on a tight-knit Human Resources team. Amazing culture, high-growth and innovative company resulting in complex and interesting work, generous compensation, chance to build out new HR processes, programs, and policies.

Who- the Company:

Our client is a successful and innovative company working in a very interesting industry at the intersection of construction and technology. The North American head office is located in Western Canada, the global headquarters is based overseas, and there is a growing operation in Childress, Texas. Company is growing quickly.
 

What- the Role:

On behalf of our client, SWIM is seeking a new HR Manager. The company is planning to quickly hire someone on a contract basis (shorter and quicker interview process). If the contractor is seeking permanent employment, they can get serious consideration for the permanent role.  Our client is also open to considering candidates for permanent employment right-off-the-bat, that would just involve a lengthier and more competitive selection process. 

The new Manager will report dually into the VP of People & Culture (Canada-based) and the VP Operations, US (Texas-based) and they will collaborate closely with the Senior Manager P&C (Canada-based) and the Manager Community Relations (Texas-based). This role involves employee relations (directly supporting 50+ employees in Texas who are mostly in construction and engineering roles, and a handful who are in corporate roles), employee handbook revision and creation, HR policy revision and creation, and supporting other HR projects as needed.
 

Who- the Candidate:

We are seeking candidates with at least 5 years (preferably 8+ years) of relevant and progressive experience HR generalist experience, with specialization in employee relations, HR policies, and creating employee handbooks for different jurisdictions. Candidates MUST have HR experience supporting American employees working in US operations- preference for Texas, New York, and California (in that order). Exposure to Canadian HR is an asset, not at all required. Ideally candidates will have used a cloud-based multi-module HRIS.  

We are seeking excellent communicators (written, verbal, non-verbal) who love building relationships across a business and really getting to know the operations and front-line employees. Strong collaboration and “building-out-HR” skills are all important, as is a consultative and adaptable nature. We are looking for people who are excited about working in a high change, innovative, and growing company.  Experience working in the construction and/or technology sectors is a bonus, not required.  SHRM designation is an asset.
 

Where:

We are seeking candidates who are based in or close to Childress in North Texas. (i.e within a maximum 5-hour drive of Childress, ideally under a 3 hour drive… perhaps candidates living in/new Dallas-Fort-Worth?). The HR Manager will mostly work remote/from home, but must be able to get to Childress 1, 2, or possibly even 3 days a month- mostly on an as-needed basis for important meetings, investigations, onboarding, terminations, etc.  
 

How Much:

For contract- competitive hourly consulting rate, commensurate with depth and relevance of HR skills and work experience- likely in the range of $40 to $65 an hour, with a sweet spot of $50 to $60. For permanent full-time- the HR Manager will earn a base salary of around $100,000 to $120,000 USD, plus bonuses, health benefits, professional development support, etc.
