About The Position

Protect Life Michigan is seeking a Human Resources Manager who is committed to growing the pro-life movement and supporting the organization’s staff. The manager leads HR operations and oversees the full employee lifecycle, including recruitment, hiring, onboarding, payroll, benefits administration, employee development, policy creation and implementation, and offboarding. The role directly supervises the Recruiting & Onboarding Coordinator and ensures recruiting and onboarding processes are effective, consistent, and aligned with organizational needs.

The role combines strategic thinking with hands-on execution. It calls for a self-starter who is highly organized and detail-oriented, can manage competing priorities and urgent tasks, and handles confidential information with discretion and professionalism. The manager works independently and collaboratively with a remote team, communicates effectively, exercises sound judgment, and navigates administrative and compliance requirements. The position focuses on improving systems, supporting staff, maintaining compliance, and fostering an organized and effective work environment.

This is a full-time, remote position for someone located in Michigan. The schedule is flexible and includes occasional evenings and weekends, along with periodic in-person meetings with candidates and employees. The candidate must raise funds for their salary and ministry expenses. Protect Life Michigan provides training and coaching, pays the employee while they raise support, and reports that 85% of candidates have reached full support within 2–3 months. After 1–3 weeks of preparation, the employee attends a support-raising bootcamp around week 4 and then spends 6–13 weeks raising support before beginning job duties. Applicants must be supportive of this approach and open to participating.
