Job DescriptionJob Description

The People & Culture Specialist (P&CS) supports the People & Culture Department, which works with Highlander’s leadership team and the People & Culture Coordinator to direct key human resources functions. The P&CS will uphold and maintain people-centered processes; provide key hiring, onboarding, & off-boarding support; and ensure employment law compliance and safety practices.


We recognize that not every candidate will have every qualification, but you are the ideal person if:

  • You are a true HR specialist & are a strong systems thinker.

  • You have already been an HR specialist (or equivalent) at a medium/large organization (60+ FTE).

  • You thrive when supporting a people-centered team, and hope to step into increasing responsibilities as the organization grows.

  • You build relationships naturally, are hungry to grow, and are invigorated by proposing new solutions to complex challenges.

  • What sets you apart is your energy to dive into the day-to-day while leaning into change.

  • The idea of jumping in to update processes and practices excites you.

  • You like to create new systems and think outside of binaries and boxes.

  • You can see potential and aren’t daunted by a challenge.

  • You can support employees through multiple phases of shifting workplace culture.

  • Passion for all people is your hallmark (colleagues, community members, congregants, etc.) and you put your passion into action through strong anti-racist HR leadership and practices.

The People & Culture Specialist is responsible for working with Highlander’s leadership and the People & Culture Coordinator to support key human resources functions in regards to creating and maintaining administrative processes and records; providing key hiring, onboarding, and off-boarding support; administering benefits; supporting compliance and safety practices; and meeting organizational expectations.

The P&CS will collaborate with the People & Culture Coordinator to champion initiatives in hiring, employee life cycle, benefits and compensation, compliance, policy, employee engagement, and performance management. Using an anti-racist and equity lens, the P&CS will support implementing employee programs and activities that ensure that Highlander focuses on the development, engagement, and retention of staff.
