COMPANY PROFILE:
The Management Trust is a community association management company. We believe that building and maintaining a community takes more than just hammers and nails. It takes integrity, trust, experience, and support. Our success is based on the belief that effective management anticipates our clients' needs, not merely reacts to them. We are a company of creative and committed individuals driven by grand aspirations and are proud to be the only 100% employee-owned community management firm in the nation. Our Employee Owners are encouraged to actively participate in growing our business by helping define best practices every day.

EMPLOYEE OWNER POSITION PURPOSE:
As our HR Generalist (HRG), you are charged with two critical tasks - providing high-impact human support to our employees and partnering with your Regional HR Manager (RHRM) to ensure smooth day-to-day people operations. This is a unique role that combines heavy admin support (what may be traditionally managed by an HR Assistant) and a high volume of mid-level Generalist duties. As a result, this position requires tremendous organization, the ability to quickly prioritize, and remain calm/positive in the face of demanding needs. Most importantly, this individual must be a consummate professional, team player, and backed by enough HR experience, intuition, and self-awareness to seamless partner with front-line staff through senior management.
Our HRG is passionate about helping others, looking ahead to evaluate possible outcomes, and promoting a positive experience for all. This role focuses on fielding the majority of mid-level employee needs to allow the RHRM the appropriate bandwidth to serve as a strategic business partner for our company's leadership. Identifying what can be managed at this level versus escalated to the RHRM will be an ongoing opportunity in effective communication, problem solving, and leveraging multiple resources to ensure a seamless experience for the employees in your region. If you are a critical thinker who loves providing guidance, building long-lasting relationships, and is comfortable taking charge of sometimes complex situations, then this is the perfect opportunity for you. The position is based in our Palm Desert division office and will provide support for our California Desert and California Central Coast teams (250+ employees).

- Track and identify meaningful metrics to help us understand what is working well, what is not, and where we might need to tighten-up
