About Jose G.

I’m an HR executive with experience leading public-sector and multi-state human resources operations across complex, fast-moving organizations. My background spans employee relations, recruitment, onboarding, compliance, benefits, payroll, HRIS implementation, policy administration, and operational support for large and diverse workforces. I do my best work in environments that require both strategic thinking and disciplined execution—where HR is expected to strengthen operations, support leadership, improve the employee experience, and build the structure needed for sustainable growth.Over the course of my career, I’ve led and supported HR functions across public-sector and private-sector environments, including large public workforces, multi-state operations, and private equity-backed manufacturing organizations. My experience includes supporting a 1,300+ employee public health workforce, helping scale a multi-state operation from roughly 55 to 120+ employees, and leading HR and People Operations for a 400+ employee manufacturing platform across 10 states. In each setting, my focus has been the same: improve consistency, support leadership, and build HR functions that can keep pace with growth and complexity.Much of my work has focused on building stronger HR infrastructure and improving the way organizations manage core people processes at scale. I’ve helped reduce annual benefits spend from approximately $1.8 million to $1.2 million, supported greenfield hiring of more than 100 employees, improved recruiting efficiency by 30%, reduced onboarding time from two days to two hours through process automation, and helped reduce payroll cycle time by 50% through workflow improvement. I believe HR creates the most value when it brings discipline, clarity, and consistency to the business while still remaining practical and responsive to people.My leadership style is grounded in structure, accountability, and consistency. I believe HR should do more than administer process—it should help leaders make sound decisions, strengthen the organization, and build credibility through fairness, discipline, and follow-through.I hold an MBA, a BS in Business Management, and an Associate of Arts. I am bilingual in English and Spanish and hold the SHRM-SCP credential. I’m drawn to opportunities where experienced HR leadership is expected to bring sound judgment, practical execution, and strong support for long-term organizational goals.
