The coordinator will deliver administrative assistance for employee relations, benefits, payroll, performance management and legal compliance. He or she will oversee hiring functions and benefits programs; maintain documentation and serve as point of contact for employees; and ensure clear communication in procedures.

Additionally, the HR coordinator will take part in special projects and events as needed; and strive for overall efficiency in the department through procedural improvements.

Qualified applicants will bring at least two years of previous work experience in a similar capacity; mastery of Microsoft Office platform applications and full knowledge of HR functions. The successful candidate will have outstanding customer service and interpersonal skills and the ability to communicate clearly with all colleagues.
