  • Manage key vendor relationships tied to employee relations tools, systems, or recognition programs.
  • Travel to field locations to provide in-person support, training, and partnership.

What You Bring :

  • 8+ years of progressive HR experience with a strong focus on employee relations and supporting an hourly / frontline workforce.
  • 3+ years managing HR professionals or field HR teams.
  • Strong working knowledge of multi-state employment laws and compliance standards.
  • Proven experience managing sensitive investigations and partnering with legal on high-risk matters.
  • Proficiency with HRIS systems (UKG, ADP, etc.), especially for reporting and metrics.
  • Strong analytical skills with a data-driven mindset.
  • Excellent communication, facilitation, and coaching skills.
  • Ability to travel up to 15% to markets and field locations.
  • Why You'll Love Being a MedSpeeder :

  • You'll be part of a mission-driven company that values its people, especially those on the front lines.
  • Your work will have a direct and measurable impact on employee experience, retention, and engagement.
  • You'll join a collaborative HR team that values innovation, ownership, and continuous improvement.
  • You'll lead programs and projects that matter, from compliance and process to culture and connection.
  • MedSpeeders enjoy full benefits and a positive, team-oriented culture built on trust and transparency.
  • Our Commitment to You :
