About Us

RNR Construction (RNR Home Improvements, LLC) has been a trusted name in residential and commercial remodeling across Savannah, Wilmington Island, and Tybee Island since 2005. But we're more than a construction company — we're a growing family of businesses. Our owner's portfolio includes rental properties, a one-of-a-kind private event and bar venue, and an exciting new pickleball facility launching soon with 5 indoor courts, a restaurant, martini bar, coffee & smoothie bar, and pro shop.

We're a tight-knit team that works hard, takes care of each other, and genuinely loves what we build — in every sense of the word. If you're looking for a place to plant roots, grow, and be proud of what you're part of, you've found it.

This Isn't Just a Job

We'll be upfront: we're not looking for someone to fill a seat for a year and move on. We're looking for the person — someone who becomes a cornerstone of this organization, who takes ownership, grows with us, and looks back years from now knowing they helped build something meaningful.

In return, we invest in our people the way we invest in our properties — fully and with the long haul in mind. This role comes with a compensation package that reflects that commitment:

• Competitive salary ($48,000–$65,000 DOE performance bonuses)
• Housing assistance optional
• Company vehicle assistance optional
• Health insurance after 90 days
• Complimentary access to the pickleball facility
• Real growth opportunities — as RNR's portfolio expands, top performers will have opportunities to grow their role — and their compensation — beyond this starting range

The Role

You'll work directly alongside the CEO across all ventures as a true right hand — part operations coordinator, part marketing lead, part event planner, part HR generalist. This is a brand-new position, which means you won't be handed a rigid playbook. You'll help write it. We want someone who walks in with ideas, earns trust quickly, and steadily takes on more responsibility as the business grows.

What You'll Do

HR & People Operations — A Core Priority This is not a supporting HR role — it's a foundational one. As we scale across multiple business ventures, we need someone who can build our people infrastructure from the ground up. This means:

• Designing and implementing recruiting pipelines and onboarding processes
• Setting up and managing employee benefits programs across all business entities
• Creating HR policies, handbooks, and compliance documentation
• Building a workplace culture that reflects our family-first values
• Supporting managers in employee relations, performance reviews, and retention

Merchandising & Branding — A Key Driver of Revenue Our pickleball facility and pro shop represent a significant and exciting revenue opportunity — and we need someone with a merchandising eye to maximize it. This means:

• Curating and managing product selection for the pro shop (apparel, equipment, accessories)
• Developing a merchandising strategy that reflects our brand and drives sales
• Managing inventory, vendor relationships, and product display
• Identifying merchandise trends in the pickleball and hospitality space
• Collaborating on branded RNR merchandise across all business lines

Operations & Executive Support

• Partner closely with the CEO to manage day-to-day operations across multiple business ventures
• Identify inefficiencies and proactively bring solutions — not just problems
• Leverage AI tools and technology to streamline workflows and communications

Events & Hospitality

• Plan, coordinate, and execute private events at our bar/event rental venue
• Support the launch and ongoing programming of the new pickleball facility and restaurant
• Build and manage community events, tournaments, and promotional activities

Marketing & Social Media

• Manage social media presence across platforms for all business entities
• Create engaging content that drives awareness, bookings, and community engagement
• Maintain and update website(s); coordinate digital marketing efforts

Who You Are

• A long-term thinker — you're not chasing the next opportunity; you're looking for a home
• An HR builder — you've set up people systems before, or you have the knowledge and drive to do it right from scratch
• A merchandising mind — you understand how product, placement, and branding work together to drive revenue
• A self-starter — you bring ideas without being asked and follow through without being reminded
• Highly organized — you can juggle multiple projects across multiple businesses without dropping the ball
• Socially confident — you're comfortable engaging with customers, vendors, and the community
• Tech-savvy — comfortable with AI productivity tools, social media platforms, and basic website management
• Adaptable — energized (not overwhelmed) when priorities shift

Qualifications

• 2 years of experience in HR, operations, events, marketing, or a closely related field
• HR experience strongly preferred — hands-on familiarity with benefits administration, onboarding, policy/handbook creation, and employee relations; experience with an HRIS platform (Gusto, Rippling, BambooHR, or similar) is a plus
• Merchandising experience strongly preferred — ability to curate product assortments, manage vendor relationships, oversee inventory, and create displays that drive sales; experience in sports, lifestyle, or hospitality retail is ideal
• Experience managing social media platforms (Instagram, Facebook, etc.) for a business or brand
• Background in hospitality, food & beverage, or event planning a strong plus
• Proficiency with tools like Canva, Google Workspace, ChatGPT/AI tools, or similar
• Knowledge of Squarespace, Wix, or other website platforms a plus
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial, multi-business environment
• A natural relationship-builder who is looking to grow with an organization long-term, not just move through it

The Bottom Line

This is a rare opportunity to join a thriving, community-rooted organization at an exciting moment in its growth — with the kind of compensation package and personal investment from ownership that most companies simply don't offer. We take care of our people because our people take care of everything else.

If you're ready to stop job-hopping and start building something that's truly yours too — we want to hear from you.
