HR Generalist

At Frontier Cooperative, we believe agriculture is more than a business, it's a way of life. As an agricultural leader serving Nebraska's farming communities, we provide a comprehensive range of grain, agronomy, feed, and energy products and services. But what sets us apart is how we do it: with integrity, with quality, and with a deep commitment to the communities we're proud to call home. We're looking for people who share those values and want to grow with us.

What you'll do:

Talent Acquisition

• Own the full-cycle talent acquisition process - job postings, candidate screening, interviewing, selection, and offer coordination.
• Coordinate pre-employment steps (background checks, drug screens, onboarding paperwork) to ensure new hires start smoothly and on time.

Employee Relations

• Serve as a secondary point of contact for managers and employees, providing coverage and continuity when the VP of HR is unavailable.
• Conduct rotating site visits to build relationships, surface concerns early, and maintain visibility across all supported locations.
• Ensure consistent application of company policy and compliance with federal and Nebraska employment law across every site.

Payroll Backup

• Serve as the designated backup payroll administrator, able to accurately run payroll on time when the primary administrator is out.
• Review timekeeping data, resolve discrepancies, and process new hire, termination, and pay-change entries.
• Support payroll compliance, including garnishments, tax withholdings, and multi-location wage and hour requirements.

What we are looking for:

• Bachelor's degree in Human Resources, Business, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
• 2+ years of HR Generalist experience; multi-site or field HR experience strongly preferred.
• Working knowledge of federal and Nebraska employment law (wage and hour, EEO, leave laws, etc.).
• Experience with high-volume or full-cycle recruiting.
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills, with the ability to build trust quickly across locations.
• Highly organized, with the ability to manage competing priorities in a fast-moving environment.
• Proficiency with HRIS/ATS platforms (BambooHR or similar) and Microsoft Office.
• Exposure to or hands-on experience with payroll processing; comfortable learning our payroll system as a backup administrator.
• Valid driver's license and reliable transportation; willingness to travel extensively across Nebraska.
