Job Description

**About Achieve Test Prep **

We believe our employees empower our company and are the reason behind our success. We are the nation's largest educational consultant and test prep center specializing in credit-by-examination degree paths, headquartered in Wayne, New Jersey.

Most working adults struggle to overcome the many obstacles associated with obtaining their college degree. Achieve acts as a counselor, advocate, and partner, helping students achieve their degree in less time, with less effort, and for less money by utilizing an alternative path to earning college credit known as the credit-by-examination process. Achieve helps students bypass all of the busywork associated with taking certain college courses the traditional way by instead passing just one test-out exam. While our credit-by-examination programs can shorten the path to any degree at virtually any college, the field where we have the most significant impact is the nursing profession.

Employee engagement and development is one of the keys to our success at Achieve! Embracing a work-from-home model for the entire company, all employees enjoy a better work-life balance through flexible work schedules. We are dedicated to fostering an inclusive workplace, where diversity is celebrated and equal opportunity is the cornerstone of our culture.

**About the role**

We are looking for a dynamic and strategic HR Manager to lead and strengthen our Human Resources function. This role goes beyond traditional HR responsibilities — we’re seeking someone who can build efficient processes, drive employee engagement, and align HR initiatives with broader business goals. You'll oversee core HR operations such as employee relations, compliance, performance management, and policy implementation, while also serving as a key partner to leadership in shaping a positive and high-performing workplace culture. If you're a problem-solver with a passion for people and operations, this role offers the opportunity to make a real impact.

**Responsibilities**

* Lead and manage core HR functions, including talent acquisition, employee relations, performance management, compliance, and HR operations.
* Align HR initiatives with overall business goals to support organizational growth and performance.
* Build a positive and inclusive work environment that enhances employee engagement and retention.
* Develop, document, and enforce HR policies, procedures, and compliance standards.
* Support and coach managers on employee performance, development, and conflict resolution.
* Monitor key HR metrics (e.g., turnover, engagement, performance trends) and use data insights to drive decision-making and improvements.
* Lead, mentor, and manage the HR team to drive efficiency and accountability.
* Act as a trusted advisor to employees and leadership, maintaining confidentiality and professionalism in all HR matters.

**Desired Skills and Experience**

* Bachelor's degree in Human Resources, Business Administration, or related field.
* Minimum of 5 years of experience in HR leadership or generalist role across multiple HR functions
* Solid knowledge of HR best practices and compliance.
* Strong team leadership and ability to manage multiple priorities.
* Excellent communication skills and sound judgment in handling sensitive matters.
* Strategic mindset with experience building scalable HR processes and programs.
* Highly organized, process-driven, and focused on continuous improvement.
* Skilled in collecting and analyzing data and information, drawing logical conclusions, and summarizing in a clear, concise manner
* Comfortable in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.
* Experience working in or with a recruitment department is beneficial but not mandatory.
* Must be highly detail-oriented and a problem-solver
* Must be able to write and speak fluently in English
* Advanced skills with Google workplace apps -- particularly Google Docs and Google Sheets (or MS Office Suite expertise) and generally technologically savvy
* Proficiency with HRIS or any other ATS is nice to have but not required.

**Job Details**

* Type: Full-Time
* Schedule: Flexible schedule with availability to overlap at least 5 hours during the 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM EST business day.
* Remote: 100% Online
