- The ideal candidate has experience supporting large hourly/non-exempt workforces, thrives in fast-moving operational environments, and can balance empathy, fairness, and business judgment while scaling systems that enable consistency and excellence.
- Handle a high volume of employee relations matters-attendance issues, interpersonal conflicts, conduct concerns, policy questions, and incident follow-ups, ensuring consistency and fairness across sites.
Responsibilities
- Nuro believes self-driving vehicles are the most immediate and profound opportunity for AI to drive positive change in the physical world.
- Safer streets, more time for what matters, and easier access to the world around us, that's why we're building a universal autonomy platform: self-driving for all roads and all rides.
- As we hire hundreds of new operators into shift-based, high-accountability roles, this HRBP will focus heavily on employee relations, safety culture, first-line manager enablement, and operational HR support.
- Serve as the day-to-day HR partner for our Operations workforce (Autonomous Vehicle Operators, Fleet, Safety, Program Management, etc.), focusing on real-time employee support across multiple shifts, including overnight operations.
- Support Safety and Ops teams during road-collision calls and other safety-related escalations, ensuring timely documentation, communication, and next steps.
- Assist with key HR processes for a large, hourly workforce, including onboarding touchpoints, workplace support needs, and shift-based communication updates.
- Partner with Talent Management on performance programs, engagement efforts, and manager enablement tailored to a frontline workforce.
Requirements
- 4+ years HRBP or HR Generalist experience supporting hourly, contingent, or temp-to-hire populations in operations, logistics, manufacturing, warehouse, or similar environments.
- Strong experience with high-volume ER, including investigations, documentation, and decision-making under time-sensitive operational conditions.
- Strong understanding of California employment law, particularly for high-volume non-exempt workforces.
Compensation
- At Nuro, your base pay is one part of your total compensation package.
Benefits
- High learning agility-you can quickly understand the operator workflow and how it ties into vehicle testing, milestones, and safety.
