Executive Data Innovations Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Health Data Innovations (HDI) is seeking a part-time HR Generalist who is ready to serve as the sole HR leader for a growing, technology-driven healthcare data organization. This role reports directly to the CEO and is ideal for an HR professional who sees HR as a strategic business function, not just an administrative one. HDI’s work centers on healthcare data integration, standardization, and transformation, so the right person will bring a modern, solution-oriented, technology-first mindset to help build scalable people operations.

Position Overview

The HR Generalist will own the day-to-day HR function while helping design the foundation for HDI’s future full-time HR leadership needs. This is a hands-on role with both tactical and strategic responsibilities, including employee relations, compliance, payroll support, policy development, onboarding, and HR process improvement. Because HDI is a small company with growth goals, this role must be led by someone who is comfortable operating independently, thinking ahead, and building systems that support scale.

Key Responsibilities

• Serve as the primary HR contact for employees and leadership, providing guidance on HR policies, procedures, and employee matters.

• Manage core HR operations, including onboarding, offboarding, recordkeeping, benefits coordination, leave administration, and employee lifecycle support.

• Oversee and help improve a currently manual monthly payroll process, with a focus on building a more efficient and scalable solution.

• Support multi-state payroll coordination and ensure compliance with applicable employment laws and regulations.

• Partner with the CEO on HR strategy, organizational growth, policy development, and workforce planning.

• Evaluate and recommend HR technology, process improvements, and system integrations that reduce manual work and improve accuracy.

• Maintain compliance with federal, state, and local employment requirements.

• Support recruiting, job postings, interviewing coordination, and hiring process administration as needed.

• Help create a positive, accountable, and growth-oriented employee experience.

• Lead HR transformation efforts that prepare the company for future scale and a transition from part-time to full-time HR leadership.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of progressive HR experience, preferably in a small or growing company.

• Strong knowledge of multi-state payroll practices and employment law compliance.

• Experience as the sole HR resource or in a role with broad HR ownership.

• Demonstrated success improving HR processes, systems, or integrations.

• Comfort with HR technology, payroll platforms, and solution-oriented process design.

• Strong business acumen, sound judgment, and excellent interpersonal skills.

• Ability to operate with a strategic mindset while handling tactical HR responsibilities.

• Experience supporting leadership directly and influencing people-related decisions.

• Bachelor’s degree in Human Resources, Business Administration, or a related field preferred.

• HR certification such as SHRM-CP, SHRM-SCP, PHR, or SPHR preferred.upwork+3

Preferred Experience

• Experience in healthcare, data, technology, or other regulated environments.

• Background in HR systems implementation, payroll integration, or process automation.

• Familiarity with scaling HR in a small company moving toward growth.

• Comfortable working in a contract-to-hire or part-time-to-full-time structure.

• Ability to build trust quickly with employees and executive leadership.

What Success Looks Like

In the first few months, success means stabilizing HR basics, improving the payroll process, strengthening compliance, and creating clarity around HR ownership. Over time, this person should help transition HDI from a reactive HR model to a proactive, strategic people function that supports business growth. This role also offers the opportunity to grow into a full-time leadership position as the company expands and HR needs become more complex.

Why Join HDI

This is an opportunity to build something meaningful from the ground up in a company that is already delivering specialized healthcare data integration services. HDI works with healthcare organizations to standardize and transform complex data, and this HR role will support that same kind of transformation on the people side. The right candidate will have the chance to shape the HR function, partner directly with the CEO, and grow alongside the company as it scales.
