Full Description

Who We Are ECE SubHub is a fast‑growing, mission‑driven staffing partner supporting early childhood programs across Michigan. We connect high‑quality substitute teachers with childcare centers and preschools that rely on dependable staffing to keep classrooms open and children learning. Our team is small, collaborative, and deeply committed to strengthening the early childhood workforce. Every role here directly impacts educators, families, and communities. As we expand, we’re looking for a confident, hands‑on HR leader who can build strong systems, support our people, and help us grow with excellence. About the Role We are seeking a full‑charge, hands‑on Senior HR Generalist to serve as the organization’s primary HR authority. This is not a “manage from a distance” role — this is the person who owns, manages, and executes every aspect of HR, from strategy to daily operations. You will oversee the entire employee lifecycle for substitute teachers and internal staff, including recruiting, onboarding, employee relations, payroll, benefits, leave management, compliance, licensing documentation, and offboarding. You will also serve as the HRIS administrator for Paylocity. While you will supervise the Recruiter and Placement Coordinator, you will also actively recruit, step into scheduling when needed, and handle hands‑on HR tasks daily. You are the HR engine of the organization — the person who ensures our systems run smoothly, our people feel supported, and our operations stay compliant. If you enjoy variety, autonomy, and the chance to build and refine HR processes in a growing organization, this role offers the perfect blend of leadership and hands‑on impact. Who the Ideal Candidate Is You are a resourceful, proactive, full‑charge HR professional who thrives in environments where you can take ownership and make things better.
