EPIC Talent Manager (Human Resource Manager)

EPIC Talent Manager (Human Resource Manager)

(Excellence Passion Integrity and Community)

We are a young, privately held company based in downtown Orlando, Florida. Not long ago, we were 10 people with a dream and desire. Now we’re more than 70 strong and growing all the time!

Our Mission: Harness the power of the internet to provide resources and services to the world.

We build websites. We make them user-friendly and load them with rich content. We market them so relevant audiences can discover them. We interact with our users and engage them to find out what they need and want. And we provide top of the line services that we continue to refine and improve to satisfy the needs of our users.

We’re searching for the right person to lead our human resources department. The EPIC Talent Manager will possess strong business acumen, embrace entrepreneurship and be driven to work in an environment where they are responsible for charting the direction of initiatives that support people on a daily basis.
