About the Role
Full job description
Overview
K2 is looking for an HR Assistant who takes ownership and gets things done. This role sits at the center of civilian personnel hiring and onboarding operations supporting a DoD mission at JBPHH. You'll be the go-to expert for hiring managers, the engine behind recruitment workflows, and the first face new employees see. If you're precise, proactive, and thrive in a high-stakes environment — this is your seat.
THE MISSION
