FloQast is seeking a Senior HR Generalist to support its growth during a maternity leave. This role is integral in driving key HR processes for the Research and Development (R&D) teams within the company.

Position Description

The Senior HR Generalist will take charge of various essential functions, including managing the performance review cycle for R&D groups, handling employee relations, and acting as a primary resource for managers regarding HR queries. The goal is to maintain smooth operations and a positive employee experience while collaborating closely with HR leadership.

This is a contract role with a significant impact and does not involve supervisory duties, focusing instead on hands-on execution.

It is a 1099 fixed-term position, emphasizing that visa sponsorship is not available at this time. Applicants from the West Coast are preferred.

Key Responsibilities

• Guiding managers on writing reviews and providing effective feedback
• Conducting calibrations and leading merit review and promotion processes
• Compiling and analyzing data to ensure fairness and alignment across the performance cycle

Managing Employee Relations:
The candidate will handle any employee relations issues (such as conflicts and performance plans) and manage disciplinary actions or investigations as necessary.

Fielding Manager Questions:

Managing leave of absence processes for R&D employees is another key responsibility, ensuring compliance with local, state, and federal laws, including FMLA and ADA.

Spotting Trends:
Tracking employee relations issues and manager questions, the HR Generalist will flag patterns to HR and R&D leaders, providing actionable insights for better employee management (e.g., spikes in turnover).

Keeping the Company Compliant:
The HR Generalist will maintain knowledge of U.S. employment laws, ensuring that R&D policies align and suggesting quick fixes to HR leadership when gaps are identified.

Jumping In:
The role will include tackling ad-hoc HR tasks or projects that arise, which can vary from process adjustments to responding to one-off managerial requests.
