Who We Are

We are a team of seasoned HR leaders that are passionate about helping small to mid-sized companies across the Great Lakes to develop their HR strategy, structure, people and processes. We exist to lead and support organizations who have no HR, HR in transition, and HR with too much on their plate. The team at CPG believe that everyone deserves to do great work with the great people in great companies and are guided by our three core values:

• People first
• Make work fun
• Here's how we can

• HRCI or SHRM certification with broad-based HR generalist background. You don't hae to be an expert in ALL the things, but a wide-variety of experiences is valuable since we work with so many types of companies. We're looking for experienced and forward-thinking leaders who understand culture, compliance and everything in between.
• Passion for pouring into our clients and helping them strengthen their people programs and outcomes.
• Your time management, communication and organization skills are top-notch and you'll be an amazing ambassador for the CPG brand.

What You'll Get

• A chance to collaborate with the best in the biz at the beginning stages of a growing company in an incredibly in-demand industry. Despite our ROWE (results-only-work-environment), we're a culturally strong and close-knit team.
• Super flexible and remote/hybrid environment
