About The Position

Balanced Body is the world's largest designer and manufacturer of Pilates equipment, doing business in over 100 countries — and we're looking for an experienced HR Generalist who's genuinely energized by the challenge of supporting people across borders. This role sits close to our workforce every day, so if you light up when resolving a tricky employee relations issue or untangling multi-country compliance, this is your kind of job. WHAT WE NEED MOST Global / International HR Experience: You've supported a multi-country workforce and can navigate cross-border employment practices with confidence — this is a must-have, not a nice-to-have. Employee Relations Depth: You have real, hands-on experience as the point person for conflict resolution and workplace investigations — this is the core of the role, not a side responsibility. Beyond those two priorities, you'll bring broad HR range — performance management, training & development, recruiting, safety & compliance, and policy management round out the role. You'll report to the HR Director, partner across every level of the company, and help build an HR experience people actually appreciate.

Requirements

8+ years of HR experience — including a minimum of 4 years focused specifically on employee relations.
3+ years in progressive, international/global HR practice — you've genuinely worked across borders, not just adjacent to them.
Oversee multi-state employee relations issues , conducting investigations and enforcing consistent, compliant disciplinary actions across all jurisdictions.
Bachelor's degree in Human Resources preferred.
Track record designing and delivering training programs, with real comfort presenting to groups.
Solid grasp of US labor law (FLSA, OSHA, FMLA); multi-state experience (CA, TN, CO, OR) preferred.
International HR compliance experience is preferred — you know how HR looks different outside the US and can navigate it.
Experience managing an HRIS.
Exceptional verbal, written, and interpersonal communication.
Strong organizational skills and comfort holding confidentiality.
Self-directed, fast-paced, and able to prioritize with urgency when deadlines demand it.
Strong working knowledge of Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook.
