Human Resources Manager

Simple Technology Solutions•Washington, DC

10d•$90,000 - $130,000•Hybrid

About The Position

At Simple Technology Solutions, our people are our priority. We know our team members are more than employees—they’re parents, friends, volunteers, artists, and athletes. That’s why we offer flexibility to help them thrive personally and professionally while delivering exceptional solutions to our Federal Government clients. Our culture is built on collaboration, continuous learning, and excellence. We are mentors and thought leaders who share knowledge and foster growth. Recognized as a “Best Place to Work,” we believe a range of perspectives helps us drive innovation and exceed customer expectations. At STS, taking care of our people isn’t a perk—it’s the standard. As a HUBZone company, we also offer special incentives for team members living in qualified HUBZones. Simple Technology Solutions is looking for a Human Resources Manager to add to our team. STS is a HUBZone small business that modernizes the systems behind federal law enforcement and homeland security missions. We open high-end technology careers to people who arrived by non-traditional paths. Our HR leader is retiring. This is not a seat to fill — it is an ownership handoff. There is a structured transition planned, and after it you own the function: keeping it running, and making it faster, cleaner, and more automated than you found it. Two things make this different from most HR manager roles. You report directly to the CEO, with the access and the exposure that comes with it. And you own the work end to end — this is a hands-on seat, not a supervisory one.

Requirements

Five or more years of progressive HR experience, including direct ownership of recruiting and day-to-day HR operations.
Demonstrated full-cycle recruiting in a technical or professional services environment.
Hands-on experience administering employee benefits, including open enrollment and leave.
Experience supporting a federal government contractor.
AI-native working habits. You use AI tools in your daily work, not occasionally. Be ready to walk us through a workflow you built and what it saved you — we will ask, and a general familiarity will not clear the bar.
Bachelor's degree in Human Resources, Business Administration, Management, or a related field — or an equivalent combination of education and experience.

Nice To Haves

HUBZone or other small business compliance knowledge.
SHRM-CP, SHRM-SCP, PHR, or SPHR certification.
HRIS and applicant tracking system (ATS) administration experience.
Benefits administration platform experience — we use Employee Navigator.
Experience supporting a remote or hybrid, multi-state workforce.
Experience in an EOS-run company.

Responsibilities

Run full-cycle recruiting for corporate, contract, proposal, and apprenticeship roles — sourcing through offer.
Build pipelines before we need them, through networks, referrals, universities, and industry relationships.
Own the candidate experience. No one waits, no one gets the run-around, no one is left guessing where they stand.
Partner with delivery and capture leads on workforce planning so hiring tracks the pipeline instead of chasing it.
Report time-to-fill and pipeline health as numbers, weekly. Report quality-of-hire at 90 days.
Run the employee lifecycle: onboarding, changes, offboarding, records, HRIS data integrity.
Support managers on employee relations, performance conversations, and corrective action.
Own compensation administration and benchmarking, and support workforce planning with leadership.
Surface issues early. Problems that show up first at an exit interview are a failure of this role.
Automate the repetitive parts. If you are doing something by hand twice a month, we expect you to fix it.
Own benefits administration end to end — annual Open Enrollment, Employee Navigator, broker relationship, and leave administration.
Handle protected health information with absolute discipline. HIPAA obligations are a core responsibility of this role, not an annual training module.
Give employees answers in hours, not days.
Maintain compliance with federal and multi-state employment law across a distributed workforce.
Support HUBZone compliance, employment reporting, audits, and corporate registrations.
Keep HR processes aligned to our ISO 9001 and CMMI Level 3 quality management system — the framework we actually run the business on, not a parallel set of paperwork.
Be a visible champion of the STS values — including when the honest move is to name where we fell short.
Run engagement, recognition, and company events that people actually want to attend.
Support learning, development, and our apprenticeship program — the pathways that build the talent our competitors overlook.
Bring the people signal into leadership: what you are seeing, what is trending, what needs attention.
