Requirements

• 12+ years in HR/People roles, with meaningful time inside a logistics, distribution, manufacturing, or similarly operationally heavy company. If your career has been salaried-knowledge-worker companies only, this isn't the right seat. • 12+ years in HR/People roles • Direct experience supporting hourly and warehouse workforces at scale. You know what it means to manage ER volume, workers' comp claims, and high-turnover hourly recruiting — not in theory, but because you've done it. • Direct experience supporting hourly and warehouse workforces at scale. • Multistate compliance experience, with California depth strongly preferred. Cannabis industry experience is a plus but not required; comfort operating in a complex, fast-changing regulatory environment is required. • Multistate compliance experience, with California depth strongly preferred. • Operator first, strategist second. This role is roughly 70% execution, 30% strategy, and you should want it that way. You build the deck because you've already built the thing. • Operator first, strategist second. • Executive presence to match. You can hold the room with the President, push back on the executive team when you need to, and be the senior voice managers and employees turn to in hard moments. Doing the work and showing up as a leader are not in tension for you. • Executive presence to match. • Builder mindset. You've taken a People function from informal/under-built to mature at least once. You know how to assess what's there, keep what's good, and rebuild what isn't — without breaking the business while you do it. • Builder mindset. • Hands-on recruiting chops. You've personally run searches end-to-end at some point. You can still close a candidate yourself when it matters. • Hands-on recruiting chops. • Tech-fluent. You can own HRIS and ATS configuration, reporting, and integrations directly. You don't need IT or a vendor to make the system do what you need it to do. • Tech-fluent. • Comfortable with high autonomy and ambiguity. You set direction without heavy oversight, and you don't wait for permission to fix what's broken. • Comfortable with high autonomy and ambiguity

Responsibilities

• The function and the team. Assess where the People team is today, decide what it needs to become, and build it. Coach the team you keep, hire what's missing, and set the bar for how this function operates inside Nabis. • The function and the team. • Employee relations across an hourly, multistate workforce. High-volume ER work is the reality of this role. Investigations, performance management, terminations, accommodations, and workers' comp claims — owned with sound independent judgment, and used as the on-ramp to coach our managers into handling more of this themselves over time. • Employee relations across an hourly, multistate workforce. • Multistate compliance, with California depth. Filings, leave administration, wage and hour, classification, and the state-specific employment law footprint of a CA-heavy operator. Cannabis-industry compliance familiarity (or the appetite to learn it fast) is a plus. • Multistate compliance, with California depth. • Recruiting outcomes across hourly, operations, and corporate roles. You'll set the strategy and you'll be hands-on for critical hires, We don't need a VP People who has only managed TA from a distance. • Recruiting outcomes across hourly, operations, and corporate roles. • Warehouse and operations partnership. Build a real working relationship with our warehouse and logistics leaders. Spot people issues before they become incidents. Develop manager capability on the floor. Co-own workplace safety and workers' comp programs alongside ops. • Warehouse and operations partnership. • Benefits, payroll, and total rewards. Vendor management, open enrollment, payroll operations, and the day-to-day employee experience. With rescheduling reshaping what's possible (401(k), banking, benefits design), you'll have a real opportunity to upgrade what we offer.

Benefits

• Systems. HRIS, ATS, and the supporting stack — configuration, reporting, integrations. You can do this work yourself when you need to, and you know when to bring in implementation help versus when to just go. • Systems. • External partners. Brokers, EORs, employment counsel, safety consultants. Manage them like an operator, not a coordinator. • External partners. • Cross-functional people projects. Compensation reviews, policy rollouts, handbook updates, org changes, and post-acquisition integration work. Scope, drive, and land them. • Cross-functional people projects. • What the First 12 Months Look Like • Months 1–3: Listen, diagnose, and start moving. On the floor in the warehouses. In 1:1s with corporate managers and the exec team. Embedded with the People team you inherit. You leave this stretch with a clear, defensible point of view on what's working, what's not across both sides of the house, and your top three priorities — and you're already executing on the most urgent. • Months 1–3: Listen, diagnose, and start moving. • Months 3–6: Function reshaped, fundamentals tightened. You build the People team to match where the business needs support. ER caseload under control with a real triage model that works for both hourly and corporate populations. A recruiting machine producing across hourly, operations, and corporate roles at the volume the business needs. Compliance posture audited end-to-end and gaps closed. • Months 3–6: Function reshaped, fundamentals tightened. • Months 6–12: Capability built, voice earned. Manager capability is noticeably stronger across the warehouse network and corporate teams — people leaders are running better 1:1s, handling their own tough conversations, and developing their people. Benefits and total rewards refresh in flight. Systems stack rationalized. You're a trusted voice in the executive room on talent, org design, and people strategy — not just the function leader who shows up when something breaks. • Months 6–12: Capability built, voice earned. • Unlimited PTO and paid holidaysCompetitive salary and equity packages. • Unlimited PTO and paid holidays • Base Salary: $220K–$250K range • Additional compensation: Equity + bonus available, but dependent on job level • Medical/Dental/Vision offered to all full-time employees • 401(k) plan with a match.
