Blueair, as part of Unilever, is a rapidly growing global brand with consumer health at its core. We believe that no matter where you live, your lifestyle, or your specific health needs, air health is vital to your wellbeing. Over the last 30 years, Blueair has built a team of creative thinkers, health enthusiasts, and innovators who are passionate about our impactful products. We are seeking to add to our entrepreneurial and dynamic culture with an People Operations Specialist.

Position Description:

We’re looking for a People Operations Specialist to recruit top talent across North America while also supporting HR operations that keep our teams engaged, informed, and thriving. This isn’t just about filling roles for us, it’s about building relationships and shaping the future of our team. In this role, you’ll recruit across departments and levels, managing every step of the process from the first hello to a successful start date. You’ll partner with hiring managers to understand their needs, craft creative sourcing strategies, and deliver an exceptional candidate experience. You’ll also collaborate closely with the HR Business Partner for North America, playing a key role in building our team and strengthening our overall culture and employee experience.

We believe that we’re better together. Our team is hybrid and requires applicants to live commuting distance from a Blueair office (NYC or Chicago Loop) and be in-office Tuesday-Thursday.

At Blueair you’ll be part of a global team with creative minds collaborating from around the world. We work across time zones, so some flexibility in working hours is part of the adventure. It’s a chance to connect with passionate teammates worldwide, gain diverse perspectives, and help build a brand that resonates across cultures.

• Manage end-to-end recruiting for multiple departments and levels in North America.

• Partner with hiring managers to define role requirements and craft compelling job postings.

• Maintain accurate employee records and ensure compliance with labor laws and company policies.

• Assist in organizing training programs, performance reviews, and employee engagement activities.

• Provide guidance to employees on HR policies, programs, and procedures.

• Partner with managers and the HRBP to address employee concerns in a fair, consistent, and timely manner.

• Jump in and help wherever you’re needed - we’re a collaborative team, and sometimes that means pitching in on projects outside your usual scope.

What You’ll Bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Human Resources, Business, or a related field preferred.

• 2–4+ years of combined experience in recruiting and HR generalist functions.

• Proven success hiring for a variety of roles across departments and levels.

• Strong sourcing skills with the ability to engage passive candidates.

• Excellent interpersonal skills and the ability to build trust with candidates and employees.

• Working knowledge of HR best practices, policies, and compliance requirements.

• Highly organized and detail-oriented with strong time-management skills.

• Proficiency in applicant tracking systems (ATS) and HRIS tools.

• A collaborative, proactive approach with the ability to work independently.
