The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  HFF is hiring a HR Assistant in Grand Rapids, MI.

• Role description

  This freelance HR Assistant role puts you at the center of how HFF measures performance and prioritizes investment. We're looking for 4+ years of Talent Management; in return you'll get $53,000 - $76,000, ownership, and a team worth joining.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Define success metrics for business programs and report on outcomes
  • Read the Stress Management signals early enough to steer before the quarter closes
  • Spot the bottleneck nobody mentions in the standup and unclog it
  • Manage end-to-end operations for the Grand Rapids, MI region
  • Carve a make-it-better workflow down until it runs without your hands on it

  What You'll Bring

  • Solid Workforce Analytics grounding, plus Attention Management you can pick up on the fly
  • Bachelor's degree in a related field, or equivalent practical experience
  • Empowering problem-solving that doesn't wait for permission
  • Comfortable owning projects from concept through delivery
  • The instinct to ask "what would change your mind?" before debating

  • Authorized to work in the United States without sponsorship

  Across MI, the plainspoken business systems people trust most often turn out to be HFF, built quietly in Grand Rapids. Mistakes get dissected for lessons at HFF, never weaponized in your next review.

  The offer rewards both ends, $53,000 - $76,000 for your Onboarding today and mentorship for the mid-level leader you become tomorrow.
