What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior HR Generalist position at Anchor Talent & Consulting?
Anchor Talent has partnered with a company who is launching its first U.S. manufacturing operation and looking to hire a Senior HR Generalist. This hire will be one of the first ten employees on the ground. It’s a rare opportunity to step into a greenfield environment where HR isn’t just a function, it’s the backbone of operational readiness, workforce ramp-up, and cultural integration.
The Director of HR is looking for a true generalist who can flex across recruiting, employee relations, compliance, and day-to-day HR operations without expecting a narrow lane. If you thrive in environments where structure is being established in real time, and you like being part of the team that shapes that structure, you’ll be successful here.
Bilingual proficiency in Spanish or Mandarin is essential as the workforce scales and global coordination intensifies.
Responsibilities
The company is preparing for hyper-growth in 2026, and HR will be foundational to that scale. This role gives you ownership, visibility, and the chance to build HR infrastructure that will support the long-term trajectory of U.S. operations.
If you’re energized by building something from the ground up and you want to join a global manufacturer at a pivotal moment, this is the career move that puts you at the starting line of a major expansion.
