Job Description

About the Opportunity

We are partnering with a well-established organization (50+ years) that is entering a major transformation and growth phase . With a strong legacy and new leadership in place, the company is at a true inflection point —and investing in its first strategic HR leader to help shape what comes next.

This is a rare opportunity to build the People function from the ground up , partnering directly with the CEO to create structure, elevate leadership, and drive a modern, scalable organization.

What You’ll Own

🔹 Build the HR Function from the Ground Up

  • Establish core HR infrastructure (policies, processes, systems)

  • Create job descriptions, career frameworks, and organizational clarity

  • Evaluate and evolve current HR operations (including PEO/vendor strategy)

🔹 Lead Organizational Design & Growth Strategy

  • Partner with leadership to redesign structure for future scale

  • Align roles, responsibilities, and reporting lines

  • Support workforce planning and headcount strategy

🔹 Drive Culture & Leadership Transformation

  • Introduce performance management, feedback, and accountability frameworks

  • Coach and develop leaders (many newly elevated into roles)

  • Shape a forward-looking, high-performing culture

🔹 Own Employee Relations & Leadership Partnership

  • Serve as a trusted advisor to the CEO and leadership team

  • Navigate employee relations with confidence and discretion

  • Support change management across the organization

🔹 Build Compensation & Total Rewards Foundations

  • Help design salary bands, comp structures, and leveling frameworks

  • Partner with external specialists on executive compensation and incentives

  • Support both hourly and salaried workforce models

🔹 Oversee Talent Strategy

  • Ensure hiring aligns with long-term business goals

  • Bring structure to role definition and hiring processes

  • Partner with recruiting to elevate talent quality

🔹 Manage HR Operations & Vendors

  • Oversee HR vendors and evaluate build vs. outsource decisions

  • Support transition away from current PEO (if applicable)

  • Mentor and develop existing HR team members

What We are Looking For

Core Experience

  • Proven experience building or transforming an HR function

  • Strong generalist foundation across:

    • Employee relations

    • Org design

    • Performance management

    • Compensation basics

  • Experience in small to mid-sized companies (approx. 50–500 employees)

  • Comfortable operating in ambiguity and fast-changing environments

Leadership Style

  • Hands-on and execution-oriented (not purely strategic)

  • Able to influence and partner at the executive level

  • Confident navigating legacy cultures and driving change

  • Builder mindset: sees gaps and instinctively creates solutions

Bonus Points

  • Experience with hourly + commission-based workforces

  • Exposure to sales-driven environments

  • Background in turnaround, transformation, or high-growth settings

  • Experience managing or transitioning HR vendors/PEOs

Why This Role Stands Out

🔹 True “build it from scratch” opportunity
🔹 Direct partnership with an engaged, forward-thinking CEO
🔹 Ability to shape culture, structure, and leadership
🔹 High visibility and long-term growth potential

Work Environment

  • Hybrid: 2 days onsite (Tues/Thurs), 3 days remote
