6h•$70,000 - $80,000•Hybrid

About The Position

At Dig Inn, taking care of our people starts by staying close to our restaurants and the teams inside them. As a People + Culture Generalist, you’ll be a highly visible and trusted member of the People Team, supporting team members and leaders throughout the employee experience. This is a dynamic role for someone who enjoys variety, builds strong relationships, and is excited to take meaningful ownership across multiple areas of People + Culture. You may move from leading a search from kickoff through offer, to answering a team member’s question, helping a restaurant leader navigate a workplace concern, or improving a People process behind the scenes. You’ll work closely with restaurant leaders, Support Team members, and the broader People Team to provide thoughtful, practical, and people-first support. You can expect to spend multiple days each week in our restaurants, staying connected to our teams and understanding what they need firsthand. Because the best People support starts with being present, this role must be based in one of our core markets: New York City, Boston, Philadelphia, or DMV.
