People Operations Partner (Manufacturing)
About The Position
Torus is hiring a People Business Partner to support our Manufacturing organization—serving as the primary people advisor to manufacturing leaders and frontline teams as we scale production and grow headcount at speed. This is a hands-on, highly embedded HRBP role. You’ll be deeply involved day-to-day with supervisors and leaders, helping maintain culture and performance expectations while navigating the realities of a high-volume workforce: hiring ramps, attendance and performance coaching, employee relations, and fast, fair decision-making. You’ll play a critical role in ensuring our people practices scale thoughtfully, consistently, and in alignment with Torus’ standards. This role requires strong judgment, high ownership, operational rigor, and thrives being on the floor - not just advising from the sidelines.
Requirements
- 6+ years of HRBP / People Operations experience, supporting manufacturing, operations, or high-volume hourly workforces
- Strong employee relations skills (performance management, investigations, terminations, conflict resolution)
- Proven ability to coach frontline leaders and supervisors through people issues with speed and consistency
- Experience partnering with Recruiting to support rapid hiring ramps and workforce planning
- High judgment, discretion, and ability to navigate complex interpersonal situations
- Background supporting manufacturing, or industrial teams
- Familiarity with compliance, timekeeping, and hourly workforce best practices
- Based in Utah with ability to work in person full-time
Nice To Haves
- Experience in high-growth/startup environments where processes are being built while scaling
Responsibilities
- Be the primary People Ops partner for Manufacturing leaders and frontline supervisors—driving team health, execution, and culture on the floor.

- Strengthen frontline leadership capability through practical tools, coaching, and consistent People Ops standards.
- Deliver seamless onboarding and Day-1 readiness to increase first-month retention and prevent early attrition.
- Track and act on workforce data (headcount, attrition trends, staffing gaps, performance themes, retention risks).
- Partner closely with Recruiting to improve pipeline flow, hiring velocity, and candidate quality for high-volume roles.
- Spot people risks early (morale, turnover spikes, manager gaps, engagement issues) and intervene before they escalate.
- Other duties as assigned.
