HR Generalist

Description

About Veza

At Veza, speed is our craft. We solve the problems other companies say can't be solved fast enough — turning tough customer challenges into real, manufactured solutions. Our values — Velocity, Execution, Zealousness, and Accountability — aren't slogans, they're how we operate every day. We're looking for people who'd rather build something real than talk about building it.

About the Role

We're looking for an HR Generalist to support our Morgan Hill plant, with a clear path to grow into an HR Business Partner (HRBP) role over time. This is an on-site, hands-on position for someone who wants to build a well-rounded HR career — starting with the fundamentals of employee relations, engagement, recruiting, and onboarding, and growing into broader strategic partnership with plant leadership as your experience deepens.

This is a great opportunity for someone early in their HR career who wants real ownership, direct exposure to plant operations, and a company invested in developing you into a more senior HR role.

What You'll Own

• Serve as a trusted, approachable point of contact for employees and plant leadership on day-to-day HR matters
• Support employee relations — helping resolve concerns, answering policy questions, and escalating issues appropriately
• Lead full-cycle recruiting for hourly and salaried roles at the plant, from job posting through offer
• Own the onboarding experience for new hires, ensuring a smooth and welcoming start
• Support employee engagement initiatives, recognition programs, and plant culture efforts
• Maintain accurate employee records and ensure compliance with company policy and applicable employment law
• Partner with plant leadership on workforce needs, and grow into a broader HRBP role as you develop — including exposure to workforce planning, performance management, and leadership coaching support

Requirements

What You Bring

• Bachelor's degree in Human Resources, Business, or related field preferred (or equivalent experience)
• 0–3 years of HR experience; manufacturing or plant environment experience a plus, but not required
• Strong interpersonal skills and sound judgment — you're comfortable having direct conversations and know when to ask for guidance
• Organized, detail-oriented, and able to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment
• A genuine interest in growing your HR career — this role is designed to develop into an HRBP position over time
• Familiarity with HRIS/payroll systems a plus (we use Paylocity)

Why Join Us

• A clear, supported growth path from HR Generalist to HR Business Partner
• Direct, meaningful impact on the employee experience at our Grand Rapids plant
• A company actively investing in people — through leadership development, employee recognition, and a genuine focus on culture
• Competitive pay and benefits

Why Veza

At Veza, we move fast and we finish what we start. Our values shape how we work every day:

Velocity — Fast to Solve

Execution — Fast to Finish

Zealous — Fast to Yes

Accountability — Fast to Own
