HR Generalist

The Summit at Snoqualmie and Alpental is the Pacific Northwest's premier multi mountain ski resort, located 47 miles east of Seattle at Snoqualmie Pass. The property spans five base areas and 20 chairlifts across Summit West, Summit Central, Summit East, and Alpental within the Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. A four season operating model includes a mountain bike park and one of the most accessible ski destinations in North America.

Boyne Resorts is the largest family owned, independent mountain resort company in North America, guided by five core values: Long Term Thinking, Excellence in Execution, Attitude is Everything, Developing Great People, and Serve First.

The HR Generalist is a broad-execution role within a deliberately flat HR department structure, in which every HR team member reports directly to the VP of HR with no intermediate management layer. This role does not manage other employees; instead, it delivers hands-on ownership across workforce planning, total rewards and compensation, leave administration, and recruitment strategy. Rather than developing one deep specialty, the HR Generalist operates competently and independently across multiple functional areas at once, shifting priorities as seasonal and organizational needs demand.

Job duties may include, but are not limited to:

• Long-Term Thinking
  • Lead seasonal headcount planning in partnership with department heads.
  • Produce headcount and turnover reports for the leadership team.
• Excellence in Execution
  • Maintain Zero-Hour Tracking to flag inactive team members who continue to ride on employee passes.
  • Own the seasonal/frontline worker wage matrix by department — lift ops, ski patrol, food & beverage, rental/retail, and similar hourly classifications . Senior manager and above compensation remains owned by the VP of HR.
  • Administer FMLA and PFML leave programs, including full case tracking.
• Attitude is Everything
  • Build, launch, and manage the company's Total Rewards & Recognition Program .
  • Assist in designing the recognition framework, including cadence and eligibility criteria .
  • Plan job fairs and shape overall recruitment strategy — often a candidate's first impression of the company .
• Develop Great People
  • Develop and refresh job descriptions in alignment with company culture and standards .
  • Develop recruitment materials, including candidate evaluation forms and structured interview questions .
• Serve First
  • Coordinate seasonal layoffs and manage rehire eligibility determinations.
  • Provide local support for corporate-administered benefits, including ACA compliance (Supporting).

What we are looking for:

• Bachelor's degree in Human Resources, Business Administration, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.
• 2+ years of progressive HR generalist experience, ideally spanning compensation, workforce planning, leave administration, and recruitment.
• Strong working knowledge of compensation benchmarking methods and pay equity analysis, including seasonal/frontline wage structures common to ski resort operations.
• Familiarity with multi-state pay transparency and wage disclosure requirements.
• Working knowledge of FMLA, PFML, and related federal/state leave and benefits regulations.
• Comfort operating independently across multiple concurrent functions without a management chain of authority.
