Senior Human Resources Generalist
About the Role
As Senior HR Generalist, you'll own the full employee lifecycle for TBGA — recruiting, onboarding, benefits, employee relations, compliance, and HR data — with the autonomy of a small firm and the resources of a well-established one. No two days look the same, and that's the point: you'll move fluidly between strategic projects (compensation benchmarking, ESOP administration, policy development) and hands-on execution (onboarding a new hire, answering a benefits question, running payroll data). This role reports into a collaborative team but rewards a genuine self-starter.
