Simple Technology Solutions is looking for a Human Resources Manager to add to our team. Human Resources Manager Location Remote with hybrid — 2 to 4 days per month in our Washington, DC office Reports to Chief Executive Officer Why This Role Exists STS is a HUBZone small business that modernizes the systems behind federal law enforcement and homeland security missions. We open high-end technology careers to people who arrived by non-traditional paths. Our HR leader is retiring. This is not a seat to fill — it is an ownership handoff. There is a structured transition planned, and after it you own the function: keeping it running, and making it faster, cleaner, and more automated than you found it. Two things make this different from most HR manager roles. You report directly to the CEO, with the access and the exposure that comes with it. And you own the work end to end — this is a hands-on seat, not a supervisory one. What You'll Own Listed in priority order. Compliance obligations and benefits deadlines are non-negotiable regardless of where they sit on this list — below the top two, priority tells you where to spend your discretionary time, not what you can let slip. 1 · Recruiting and Talent — your largest single commitment Run full-cycle recruiting for corporate, contract, proposal, and apprenticeship roles — sourcing through offer. Build pipelines before we need them, through networks, referrals, universities, and industry relationships. Own the candidate experience. No one waits, no one gets the run-around, no one is left guessing where they stand. Partner with delivery and capture leads on workforce planning so hiring tracks the pipeline instead of chasing it. Report time-to-fill and pipeline health as numbers, weekly. Report quality-of-hire at 90 days. 2 · HR Operations — keep the wheels on the bus Run the employee lifecycle: onboarding, changes, offboarding, records, HRIS data integrity. Support managers on employee relations, performance conversations, and corrective action. Own compensation administration and benchmarking, and support workforce planning with leadership. Surface issues early. Problems that show up first at an exit interview are a failure of this role. Automate the repetitive parts. If you are doing something by hand twice a month, we expect you to fix it. 3 · Benefits Own benefits administration end to end — annual Open Enrollment, Employee Navigator, broker relationship, and leave administration. Handle protected health information with absolute discipline. HIPAA obligations are a core responsibility of this role, not an annual training module. Give employees answers in hours, not days. 4 · Compliance Maintain compliance with federal and multi-state employment law across a distributed workforce. Support HUBZone compliance, employment reporting, audits, and corporate registrations. Keep HR processes aligned to our ISO 9001 and CMMI Level 3 quality management system — the framework we actually run the business on, not a parallel set of paperwork. 5 · Culture Be a visible champion of the STS values — including when the honest move is to name where we fell short.
