About the Company
Job Description
This Role Is Not For Everyone. It Might Be For You.
For over 25 years, Mavagi Enterprises has created meaningful employment for veterans and people with disabilities through federal contracts under the AbilityOne/JWOD Program. We are a mission-driven, people-first organization, and we are looking for an HR Generalist who moves with urgency, takes ownership without being told twice, and genuinely cares about the humans behind the paperwork.
You follow up before you are asked. You notice what others miss, and you don't walk past it. You can hold a real conversation with anyone, not because you are working the room, but because people genuinely feel heard when they talk to you. And you know how to close. You move things forward, and you own your decisions.
If that sounds like you, keep reading.

• Bachelor's degree in Human Resources or a related field
• Minimum 5 years of HR experience, preferably in an exempt capacity

• Excellent written and verbal communication, you can write a formal policy and have a real conversation with an employee who is struggling
• Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities without losing momentum
• Ability to pass a background check and meet all contract screening requirements
Preferred
• Bilingual in English and Spanish, not required but a significant differentiator
• Familiarity with the AbilityOne program, SourceAmerica, or disability employment frameworks
• Experience in a government contracting or regulated environment
What We Value Over a Resume
If you don't check every box, but you have a track record of doing hard things carefully, communicating without being asked, and finishing what you start, we still want to hear from you. Experience working alongside or in service of people with disabilities carries real weight here, regardless of how you came by it.
