Human Resources Manager
***********************

As Human Resources Manager you will build the people systems that
keep our diverse fleet in the air, our crews safe, and our small,
high-stakes operation staffed through seasonal peaks and Alaska’s
unique hiring realities. This role exists so every pilot,
mechanic, and ramp agent can focus on the mission instead of
paperwork or empty seats.

----------------------
Performance Objectives
----------------------

* Fill 90% of operational vacancies (pilots, AMTs, ground crew)
within 45 days by building a year-round Alaska-ready talent
pipeline and reducing overtime costs 20% in the first year.
* Launch a 14-day onboarding program that puts new hires
productive on the ramp or in the hangar with 95% first-year
retention.
* Achieve and maintain 100% compliance with FAA, DOT, and Alaska
labor requirements; zero findings in the next two audits.
* Stand up a simple performance-and-safety review cycle that
links individual goals to on-time departures and incident-free
operations, completed for every employee by Q4.
* Cut time-to-hire for seasonal peaks by 30% through targeted
partnerships with Alaska vocational programs and veteran
networks.
* Resolve 80% of employee relations issues at the first
conversation, protecting our tight-knit culture while documenting
everything required for a 51–200 person airline.
