From our iconic orange-handled scissors to world-renowned brands like Gerber, Iittala, Royal Copenhagen, Waterford, and Wedgwood, our purpose is clear: to create a positive, lasting impact on everyday life. 

We’re looking for a Human Resources Generalist to join our HR team in Middleton, WI. This role is a true generalist opportunity—supporting employees and leaders across HR programs including employment law, compensation, benefits, staffing, onboarding, training, and employee relations. If you’re energized by being a trusted first point of contact, driving efficient processes, and contributing to a positive workplace culture, this could be the right fit for you. 

What You’ll Do 

• Serve as the front-facing HR partner, providing day-to-day support to employees on policies, pay, benefits, and HR procedures. 

• Conduct new hire onboarding and orientations, process employee data in the HRIS, and ensure smooth transitions for new team members. 

• Maintain accurate HRIS records (Workday, UKG), generate reports, and assist with system-related needs. 

• Partner on employee relations by addressing concerns, coordinating employee engagement activities, and promoting a positive work environment. 

• Support local staffing efforts, partnering with the global Talent Acquisition team as needed. 

• Manage compliance reporting including AAP, EEO, and VETS requirements. 

• Coordinate service award programs and support other employee recognition initiatives. 

• Serve as a contact for the emergency response system and safety committee. 

• Provide ad hoc reporting and project support for HR managers and leaders across the U.S. 

What We’re Looking For 

• Bachelor’s degree in HR or related field; PHR certification a plus. 

• 1–3 years of HR generalist or HR support experience. 

• Strong knowledge of Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint). 

• Experience with HRIS systems; Workday or UKG preferred. 

• Excellent communication, organizational, and interpersonal skills with the ability to build trust at all levels. 

• A proactive, collaborative mindset with the ability to balance multiple priorities.
