SEIU Education and Support Fund Hiring for Human Resources Manager at Remote Full Time

ORGANIZATION OVERVIEW

An increasing number of Americans – most of whom are women and people of color – are employed in service sector jobs that are marked by low wages, no health care, job insecurity, and lack of training and career advancement opportunities. The SEIU Education & Support Fund tackles these issues by designing and facilitating worker-centered, relationship-based, and accessible education, training, and workforce development programs. We serve as a strategic partner to the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), and collaborate with other unions, nonprofit organizations, government agencies, and employers to help workers access good jobs and spark positive social change. Throughout our work, we promote a culture of empowerment that honors experience, culture, diversity, and inclusion.

This experienced professional will be responsible for routine employee relations inquiries, policy and benefits administration, new hire offers/orientations, compliance, record-keeping and people-related process improvement.

While this new position will touch all human resources matters, 80% of the primary focus for the first year will be to build up and out our hiring and onboarding components and to create or improve processes that support our people and our culture.
