About The Position

Archway Group is looking for a Senior Human Resources Generalist to serve as the primary HR presence in our Indianapolis office. This is a high-ownership role that requires someone who is equally comfortable navigating complex employee situations, coordinating a full recruiting cycle, and managing the day-to-day operational backbone of HR — all with a high degree of independence. You will report to the Head of People Operations in Denver, and you will be the go-to HR resource for Indianapolis employees and leadership. The right person for this role is someone who takes ownership naturally, brings structure to ambiguity, and is energized by being the go-to resource for an entire office. Over the first several months, you’ll play a key role in stabilizing and formalizing the HR function alongside the team before taking on a defined long term scope.

Requirements

5–8 years of progressive HR experience in a generalist capacity — you’ve seen enough to know what good looks like and have the scar tissue to prove it
Demonstrated ability to operate autonomously — you manage your own priorities, make sound judgment calls without being prompted, and are comfortable being the only HR person in the room
Hands-on employee relations experience — you’ve navigated real situations, not just read about them, and you know how to balance empathy with objectivity
Experience coordinating recruiting operations — scheduling, candidate communications, and working effectively with external recruiting partners
Experience with an HRIS platform — Paycom a strong plus
Working knowledge of federal and multi-state employment law including FMLA, ADA, and FLSA
Strong attention to detail and high standards for accuracy in your own work
Clear, confident communicator who can partner with employees, managers, and senior leadership alike
A builder mindset — energized by creating structure and documentation where it doesn’t yet exist

Nice To Haves

Familiarity with Indiana and/or Colorado employment law a plus
SHRM-CP, PHR, or equivalent certification a plus
