People Operations & Administration Manager — Manufacturing

A Day in the Life

Picture your morning walking the floor of a busy manufacturing facility, greeting new hires you welcomed last week, answering a quick policy question for a supervisor, then jumping into a leadership meeting to map workforce plans for the next quarter. By midday, you’re ensuring payroll inputs and attendance data are accurate in the HRIS (ADP experience is a big plus), finalizing a performance review framework, and coordinating a safety refresher aligned with OSHA standards. Before the day ends, you resolve a workplace concern with empathy and discretion, confirm vendor deliveries for office supplies, and update personnel records—every document precise, every file secure.
