Area HR Manager

HR Manager — Midtown Manhattan
Four boutique hotels. One HR pro who runs the numbers and knows the people.

We're Rebel Hotel Company, and we're looking for an HR Manager who can close payroll on Tuesday and throw the Housekeeping Week party on Friday, and do both well. You'll own HR and payroll for four boutique hotels in Midtown, reporting to our Head of HR. This is an on-site, in-person role. The action is in the hotels, and so are you.

What you'll own

Payroll, done right and on time

• Run payroll end to end for corporate and all four properties, including deductions, garnishments, liens, and bonuses
• Be the relationship lead with our third-party payroll processor, and hold them to our standards
• Keep us clean with taxing authorities and agencies, set up new payroll tax accounts, and steer year-end and W-2 prep
• Stand up new properties in payroll and time clocks, and handle onboarding and offboarding when management contracts start or end
• Send the weekly overtime report and the weekly "who missed the deadline" list, kindly but clearly
• Build the payroll procedures and reports that keep leadership informed and properties on track

People, culture, and the whole Associate experience

• Be the go-to person for Associates with questions, concerns, or problems that need solving
• Recruit, interview, and onboard great people, and build the plans, schedules, and standards behind it
• Keep attendance, PTO, overtime, breaks, and employee records accurate and audit-ready
• Lead exit interviews and treat every departure as data
• Benchmark compensation against the market and help shape salary structures and benefits
• Schedule training that actually improves service
• Bring the celebrations to life: birthdays, anniversaries, summer picnics, Housekeeping Week, and more
• Spot policies that aren't working and propose better ones
• Support the Head of HR on labor relations and keep the HR team's work sharp

You're our person if you…

• Have 5+ years of progressive hospitality HR experience, including at least 2 years running hotel payroll
• Have 3+ years in a unionized hotel, and know your way around a CBA
• Know New York and NYC labor and employment law
• Are fluent in HRIS, ATS, and workforce management systems
• Can coach, de-escalate, and lead with both empathy and backbone
• Bonus points for multi-property, boutique, lifestyle, or independent hotel experience

What's in it for you
$100,000 + bonus, with a 401(k) and match, medical, dental, vision, life insurance, and paid time off.
