The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  Citadel is hiring a HR Generalist in Springfield, IL.

• Role description

  Citadel pays up to $58,000 - $80,000 for a HR Generalist who can shorten the distance between insight and action to almost nothing. Bring 3 years of business experience to a $58,000 - $80,000 role built around ownership, teamwork, and growth.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Keep Springfield expansion on schedule when half the plan changes weekly
  • Translate 3 years of messy history into a forecast you'd stake your name on
  • Watch competitor moves and tell Citadel which ones actually matter
  • Present findings and recommendations to mid-level stakeholders with clarity
  • Manage end-to-end operations for the Springfield, IL region

  What You'll Bring

  • A growth mindset and openness to constructive feedback
  • Fluency across Conflict Resolution and Compensation and Benefits, with strong opinions on both
  • Flexibility to adapt your approach as business needs evolve
  • Strong time-management skills and a bias toward action
  • Demonstrated capacity to mentor or support mid-level teammates
  • Bachelor's degree in a related field, or equivalent practical experience

  The reputation Citadel enjoys across IL wasn't bought; the data-driven Springfield team earned it one business project at a time. Mistakes get dissected for lessons at Citadel, never weaponized in your next review.

  Combine $58,000 - $80,000 with growth, generous benefits, and a mentor, and you have the reason people stay at Citadel for years.
