You will use HRIS systems to ensure all employee records are up-to-date and confidential. You'll act as a point of contact for employees' and client queries on HR-related topics. Compensation is dependent on experience and certifications. Do not apply if you do not live near Santa Barbara or are unable to relocate. Please include a cover letter with your resume.
