Scotty's answer is good. I don't think ANY officer is acceptable. There is a list of officers that by law can be served. Many financial institutions pass out the title 'officer' fairly freely.
Michael da Man is NOT correct. The HR manager is almost NEVER authorized to receive legal notice of a lawsuit.

Assuming that the company is a corporation or LLC, go to your state's Secretary of State (or whoever registers corporations) and they will tell you the company's agent for service of process. Usually this can be done on line. This is the best person to serve. In most states you can also serve any officer of the company.

This is a question for your lawyer. Most likely it will be a manager in HR. If you do it yourself make sure you have a witness so they can't deny getting served. It might be worth it to hire an experienced process server. Good luck!

Have your lawyer handle it. Please, the last thing you want to do is to ruin your chances by serving the suit to the wrong person in the company.
If you don't have a lawyer, get one fast.
