HR Manager

Build the People Function at Pioneer Aero Supply
Chicago, IL | 4 Days On-Site / 1 Day WFH

Why This Role Is Different

Most HR jobs ask you to maintain a function, this one asks you to help build one.

Pioneer Aero Supply started with a founder brokering aircraft parts out of his apartment. Today the company has grown into a global aviation aftermarket business with operations across the United States, the United Kingdom, Tukey, Singapore, Malaysia, Switzerland and the Philippines. The growth hasn't slowed. If anything, it's accelerating.

As Pioneer grows, so does the opportunity to shape how people experience the company.
We're looking for an HR Manager to become the VP of HR's right hand not simply to execute HR processes, but to help build the systems, programs and culture that will support the next chapter of the business.

If you're energized by building instead of maintaining, you'll feel at home here.

The Growth Path

Today's role is broad by design.

You'll own employee relations, compliance, benefits, onboarding, recruiting support, HR systems and day-to-day operations.

Tomorrow?

That depends on where the company goes and where you want to take your career.

As Pioneer continues to expand globally, there will be opportunities to specialize, lead new initiatives, and help shape the future of the People function.

The ceiling is high. The timeline is yours to compress.

The Culture

Pioneer is founder-led, collaborative and deeply human. People here genuinely enjoy working together. Monday breakfasts. Thursday lunches. Warehouse and office employees competing in ping pong tournaments. A new employee gym. Leadership that knows people by name.

The company isn't trying to become more corporate. It's trying to become a better version of itself as it grows.

At Pioneer, we don't just build a business…we're building a community.

What You're Walking Into

This isn't an HR department that's running on autopilot. The company has grown quickly, and the HR function is evolving right alongside it. You'll join a VP of HR who wants a true partner, someone who brings ideas, solves problems, enjoys collaboration and isn't afraid to figure things out when there isn't a playbook.

One week you might be improving learning and development. The next you might be helping hire employees in another country. If that sounds exciting instead of intimidating, you're probably reading the right job description.

What You'll Own

• Employee relations and performance coaching
• HR compliance, policies and documentation
• Benefits administration and open enrollment
• Recruiting coordination and onboarding
• BambooHR administration and reporting
• International HR support across multiple countries
• Leadership support, employee engagement and culture initiatives
• Continuous improvement of HR systems and processes

Who We're Looking For

• Extensive and progressive HR experience
• Strong employee relations and compliance background
• Experience supporting leaders through complex people situations
• Comfortable wearing multiple hats inside a growing organization
• Collaborative, emotionally intelligent and naturally curious
• The type of person who sees something broken and starts figuring out how to improve it
• International HR experience is a plus, but just as important is the willingness to learn something you've never done before

Success Looks Like...

The VP of HR has a true partner.
Managers have someone they trust.
Employees feel supported.
The HR function becomes more proactive than reactive.

As Pioneer grows, the People function grows right alongside it.
