Summary
Lead HR and administrative operations for a nonprofit serving foster youth, overseeing recruitment, payroll, benefits, compliance, and financial processes while aligning systems to the mission.
Be the Operations Heart of a Healing Community
What You'll Do:
Monroe Harding has spent 130 years in Nashville’s corner, caring for more than 16,000 children and young adults in foster care and transitional housing. We’re looking for a Director of HR & Operations who wants their expertise to fuel a mission that genuinely changes lives.
This is a seat at the table. You’ll serve as a strategic partner to senior leadership and managers, owning the full HR function — recruitment, onboarding, performance management, payroll, benefits, compliance, and staff development — while also overseeing key administrative and financial operations, including vendor contracts, audits, and risk management. You’ll directly supervise two team members and lead cross-functional process improvement efforts that strengthen the entire organization.
We operate from five core values: Optimism, Inclusion, Curiosity, Personal Accountability, and Collaboration — and we are looking for a leader who lives and inspires them.
The Manager, HR and Administration is one of the most pivotal roles in our organization. You will serve as a strategic partner to our VP of Finance & Administration and senior leadership team, ensuring that our people systems, financial operations, and organizational infrastructure are all aligned to support our mission.
This role requires someone who genuinely thrives at the intersection of human resources and financial administration. If you see AP/AR, benefits administration, compliance, payroll, vendor management, and employee relations as interconnected parts of a healthy organization rather than separate silos, you will find this work deeply satisfying.
