The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  TechForward is hiring a HR Manager in Franklin, TN.

• Role description

  We're hiring a proudly-imperfect HR Manager in Franklin to make the case for the projects that deserve funding and quietly retire the ones that don't. Bring 8 years of business experience to a $116,000 - $158,000 role built around ownership, teamwork, and growth.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Track project budgets and flag variances before they escalate
  • Sit between HR Analytics and Stakeholder Management teams as the person who makes the call
  • Run the post-mortem after a launch slips and bank the lessons, not the blame
  • Negotiate vendor terms that look quietly-relentless on paper and hold up in practice
  • Facilitate cross-departmental projects from kickoff through delivery
  • Stress-test the forecast against the TN scenario nobody wants
  • Coach manager stakeholders through the math behind a hard reallocation

  What You'll Bring

  • The self-awareness to know which problems are yours to solve
  • A collaborator's reflex to share credit and absorb blame
  • An appetite for ownership that scales with the stakes
  • The diplomacy to align stakeholders who don't agree yet
  • Fluency in Analytical Thinking earned the hard way, not just from a tutorial
  • A collaborator who makes the manager review feel less like an exam
  • 8+ years that left you with strong instincts and few illusions

  People choose TechForward because we pair inclusive technology with a team that genuinely cares, right here in Franklin. The pace is energetic but humane, and we treat protecting your time off as part of the work.
