About AM Digital Designs

At AM Digital Designs, we are on a mission to elevate the digital presence of local small businesses, combining enterprise-level strategy with boutique agency agility. Rooted in Lawrence, MA, we celebrate diversity, culture, and community, translating these values into high-impact digital experiences that help our clients thrive.

About the Role

Our studio is only as good as the people designing, writing, and coding inside it. AM Digital Designs is committed to building a diverse, inclusive, and highly motivated team. We need an empathetic, organized HR Specialist to protect and nurture our greatest asset: our staff. You will oversee the entire employee lifecycle, from sourcing the best creative talent to ensuring a smooth, welcoming onboarding experience.

Here’s what you’ll do day-to-day:

  • Talent Acquisition: Write compelling job descriptions, manage postings across job boards, screen candidate design portfolios, and coordinate interview panels for all open roles.
  • Onboarding & Support: Lead orientation for new hires, manage benefits enrollment (health, 401k), and act as a trusted, confidential resource for employee relations and conflict resolution.
  • Culture Initiatives: Develop programs to foster team collaboration, mental health, and continuous learning, ensuring a positive, burnout-free studio environment.
  • Compliance & Policy: Maintain and update the employee handbook, track PTO/sick leave, and ensure the studio remains strictly compliant with all MA state and federal labor laws.

Here’s what we’re looking for:

  • 4–7+ years of experience in Human Resources, People Operations, or Technical Recruiting.
  • Strong understanding of recruitment best practices, particularly for creative or tech roles (knowing how to evaluate a UX design portfolio or coding test is a massive plus).
  • High emotional intelligence, empathy, and a proven track record of handling sensitive situations with discretion.
  • Familiarity with modern HRIS and payroll software (Gusto, Rippling, BambooHR).
  • Bilingual (English/Spanish) is strongly preferred to support our diverse workforce and community hiring initiatives.

Bonus points if you have:

  • SHRM-CP or PHR certification.
  • Experience scaling a team from 5 to 20+ employees.

Compensation & Perks:

$65,000–$85,000/yr base salary, comprehensive health/dental/vision benefits, generous PTO, dedicated budget for culture initiatives, and a flexible hybrid work environment.

Language Requirements: Please note that while we proudly celebrate a bilingual and multicultural team, all internal studio communications, project management, and applications must be conducted fluently in English as we are headquartered in the United States.

Commitment to Equal Opportunity: AM Digital Designs is proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, ancestry, national origin, religion or religious creed, mental or physical disability, medical condition, genetic information, sex (including pregnancy, childbirth, and related medical conditions), sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, age, marital status, military or veteran status, or citizenship. We evaluate all opportunities fairly based on merit, competence, and business needs.

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities.
