About The Role

Full job description

Overview

K2 is looking for an HR Assistant who takes ownership and gets things done. This role sits at the center of civilian personnel hiring and onboarding operations supporting a DoD mission at JBPHH. You'll be the go-to expert for hiring managers, the engine behind recruitment workflows, and the first face new employees see. If you're precise, proactive, and thrive in a high-stakes environment — this is your seat.

THE MISSION

K2 supports world-class DoD teams — and that starts with getting the right people in the door. As an HR Assistant embedded at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, you'll drive civilian personnel recruitment, onboarding, and HR operations from end to end. This isn't a back-office role. You'll be a subject matter expert and a critical link between hiring managers, HR leadership, and incoming talent. Every action you take moves the mission forward.

Pay: $71,000.00 - $84,000.00 per year
