This role goes beyond traditional HR administration—you’ll be a trusted partner to employees and managers across the organization, supporting everything from hiring and onboarding to employee relations, benefits, and compliance.

We move fast and operate with high ownership. HR at Compa is expected to be both strategic and hands-on: developing programs, improving processes, and keeping day-to-day operations running smoothly.

• Solid working knowledge of core HR disciplines—employee relations, benefits, payroll and employment law

• Proficiency with HRIS platforms (preferably Rippling) and Google Workspace or Microsoft Office

• Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to build trust across all levels of the organization

• High ownership mindset—you proactively spot issues and drive solutions without waiting to be asked

• Scrappy and resourceful—comfortable working in a fast-paced, ambiguous, high-growth environment

• Discreet and professional when handling sensitive or confidential information

• HR certification such as SHRM-CP, PHR, or equivalent

• Experience supporting a multi-state or distributed workforce

• Familiarity with HRIS systems - Rippling
