Human Resources Manager (Full-Time, Remote) (Remote)

HR Manager (Full-Time, Remote)

Remote — United States  |  Full-Time  |  $80,000 – $85,000 / year

Ensemble Performing Arts is seeking an experienced HR Manager to deliver effective, consistent HR support across the organization, partnering with managers and employees to address day-to-day needs and ensure HR programs and practices are executed well. Reporting to the Senior HR Manager, this is a hands-on role supporting employee relations, performance management, training, payroll coordination, and broader HR initiatives — managing routine and moderately complex matters independently while escalating higher-risk or sensitive issues.

This is the right fit for an HR generalist who builds trust quickly, coaches managers through both everyday and difficult situations, and knows when to solve a problem directly and when to bring in the Senior HR Manager.

Key Responsibilities

  • HR Business Partnership & Employee Relations
    • Serve as the primary HR resource for managers and employees, coaching leaders on policies, performance expectations, and people-management matters
    • Conduct thorough, objective workplace investigations and coach managers through difficult employee situations, escalating complex or high-risk matters to the Senior HR Manager
  • Payroll Support & Performance Management
    • Partner with Payroll to ensure new hires, terminations, compensation changes, and other employee-status changes are captured accurately and on time, and help resolve discrepancies
    • Support managers through the performance-management cycle — goal setting, reviews, feedback, and performance plans — with appropriate follow-up and documentation
  • Training & Manager Development
    • Facilitate HR-led training, including compliance training and manager-effectiveness programs, and provide ongoing coaching that builds manager capability and confidence
    • Identify capability gaps and help develop training materials, manager resources, and HR communications
  • Talent & Organizational Support
    • Partner with leaders and Talent Acquisition on staffing needs, onboarding, and employee engagement, retention, and career-development initiatives
    • Support organizational changes and change management, and collaborate across HR and Shared Services to provide a consistent, connected experience

Who You Are

  • A business partner — you understand the business and balance employee needs, organizational priorities, risk, and culture to provide practical HR solutions
  • A trusted advisor — you build credibility through strong relationships, discretion, consistency, and follow-through
  • A sound decision maker — you gather facts, use good judgment, and confidently make decisions within your scope while knowing when to escalate
  • A problem solver — you take ownership from issue to resolution and look beyond the immediate problem to address root causes
  • A manager coach — you help managers navigate employee situations while building their confidence and capability to lead effectively

Preferred Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Human Resources, Business Administration, or a related field preferred, or equivalent experience
  • 5+ years of progressive HR experience, including HR Manager-level responsibilities
  • Strong employee relations experience, including conducting and managing investigations
  • Experience supporting performance management, employee engagement, and organizational change
  • Demonstrated ability to coach managers and build trusted relationships with leaders and employees
  • Experience supporting a multi-location and/or multi-state workforce

Compensation & Benefits

The compensation range for this position is $80,000–$85,000 per year, commensurate with experience. A competitive benefits package is provided, including a 401(k) with employer match; health, vision, and dental benefits; and Paid Time-Off.

To Apply

Please submit the following:

  • A resume
  • A brief cover letter outlining your interest in this role
  • Responses to our short questionnaire about your background. Applications without a cover letter and questionnaire response will be considered incomplete and will not be reviewed.

Diversity is a strength of our community. If you meet most but not all of the qualifications, we still encourage you to apply.
