HR Coordinator
Englewood, CO, United States 2+ yrs
The Role
We're looking for an HR Coordinator to partner with our HR Director and take independent ownership of core HR functions across the employee lifecycle. This is a hands-on role in a lean, high-trust HR function. You'll handle day-to-day HR operations with real autonomy, not just administrative support, freeing the HR Director to focus on strategic priorities like multi-state compliance, workplace investigations, and expansion work.
What You'll Own
- Recruiting: Manage full-cycle hiring for assigned roles, from posting through offer, including candidate screening and interview coordination
- Onboarding: Run new hire onboarding end-to-end (paperwork, I-9s, systems, first-week experience) with minimal oversight
- Benefits administration: Serve as the primary point of contact for employee benefits questions, enrollment, and life events; support open enrollment logistics
- Leave administration: Independently manage FMLA, Colorado FAMLI, and other leave requests, including tracking and employee communication
- HRIS and records: Own data integrity in the HRIS, generate reports, and maintain compliant employee files
- Employee relations support: Assist with documentation, note-taking, and follow-through on employee relations matters and investigations
- Compliance tracking: Monitor deadlines for required trainings, postings, and filings across jurisdictions
- Point of contact: Be a trusted, approachable resource for warehouse and office staff on HR questions
What You Bring
- 2-4 years of HR experience with demonstrated ownership of at least one core function (recruiting, benefits, or leave admin)
- Working knowledge of employment law fundamentals (FMLA, state leave laws); Colorado experience a plus
- Comfort operating independently and making judgment calls without heavy oversight
- Strong organizational skills and ability to manage competing deadlines
- Discretion with confidential and sensitive information
- Clear, professional communication with employees at all levels
- Comfort working in or around a warehouse/operations environment
- Proficiency with HRIS platforms and Google Workspace
Nice to Have
- Bilingual in English and Spanish, written and verbal
- Experience in a PE-backed or high-growth startup environment
- Exposure to multi-state or cross-border HR (Canada a plus, given upcoming expansion)
Compensation & Benefits
- Base salary: $65,000–$75,000, commensurate with experience
- 401(k)
- Medical, Dental & Vision insurance
- Flexible Spending Account
- Life insurance
- Flexible Time Off
- Legal/Lawyer Benefit
- RTD EcoPass
