People Operations Manager

G&C Auto Body
Santa Rosa, CA Full Time
POSTED ON 6/18/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 7/16/2026
Looking for more than a traditional HR Generalist role?

G & C Autobody is seeking a People Operations Manager to serve as a key member of our People team and the primary partner to our Director of People.

This is an opportunity to join one of California's largest and fastest-growing collision repair organizations, supporting more than 700 employees across 60 locations. You'll have the opportunity to make a meaningful impact on employee experience, leadership effectiveness, compliance, culture, and organizational growth.

This is not a narrow HRBP role and it's not a purely administrative HR position. This is a broad, hands-on People Operations leadership role with ownership across employee relations, onboarding, benefits administration, HR operations, compliance, employee experience, and process improvement. The ideal candidate enjoys balancing strategic initiatives with hands-on execution and takes pride in owning the full employee lifecycle.

What You'll Do

  • Lead employee relations matters, workplace investigations, and manager coaching
  • Draft and support corrective actions, performance improvement plans, and employment documentation
  • Own onboarding, orientation, and key employee lifecycle processes
  • Administer employee benefits and support employee questions
  • Manage HRIS data integrity, reporting, and workflow improvements
  • Partner with leaders to strengthen culture, employee engagement, and organizational effectiveness
  • Support strategic People initiatives and continuous improvement projects

What We're Looking For

  • 6 years of progressive HR experience
  • Strong California employment law knowledge
  • Experience conducting workplace investigations and managing employee relations matters
  • Benefits administration and HR operations experience
  • Strong communication, coaching, and relationship-building skills
  • Experience working in HRIS platforms and improving processes through technology
  • Self-starter who thrives in a fast-paced, hands-on environment

Why Join G & C?

  • Serve as the second-in-command within the People Department
  • Support a growing organization with 700 employees and 60 locations
  • Partner directly with executive leadership
  • Opportunity to shape HR processes, programs, and employee experience
  • Broad exposure across employee relations, benefits, HR operations, compliance, culture, and strategic projects
  • Competitive compensation and benefits
  • Join a team built on accountability, transparency, continuous improvement, and results

Location: Santa Rosa, CA (5 days onsite)

Hours: Monday - Friday 8:00am - 5:00pm
