About Us
We are a growing, multi-state professional services organization focused on operational excellence, strong leadership, and sustainable expansion.

Reporting directly to ownership, the Director of Human Resources will serve as a strategic partner to executive leadership while overseeing all HR functions across multiple states. You will design, implement, and optimize scalable systems that support performance, compliance, culture, and continued expansion.
A major near-term priority for this role is leading the company-wide implementation and optimization of a new HRIS platform — including system selection (if applicable), rollout, change management, process redesign, training, and long-term administration.
This role currently oversees the full HR function with administrative support and has the opportunity to build additional team infrastructure as the organization grows.

- Strategic HR partnership with ownership and senior leadership
- Multi-state employment law compliance and risk mitigation
- Workforce planning and full-cycle recruiting strategy
- Leadership coaching and performance management system design
- Payroll oversight and HRIS administration
- Company-wide HRIS implementation and long-term optimization
- 401(k) administration and retirement plan oversight
- Compensation strategy, commission plan design, and employment agreements
- Benefits administration and vendor management
- Employee relations matters handled with sound judgment and discretion
- Development of scalable HR processes that reduce turnover, improve accountability, and support growth beyond 100+ employees
What We’re Looking For
- 7–10+ years of progressive HR leadership experience
- Demonstrated experience scaling organizations and building HR infrastructure
- Strong multi-state employment law expertise
- Experience overseeing payroll, compensation structures, and retirement plans
- Proven experience leading or implementing an HRIS rollout
- Strong executive presence with the ability to influence ownership and senior leaders
- Comfort operating both strategically and hands-on
- SHRM-CP or SHRM-SCP certification preferred
- Bachelor’s degree in HR, Business, Communications, or related field
The Right Person
You are:
- Strategic but operationally disciplined
- Process-driven and data-informed
- Comfortable partnering directly with ownership
- A confident communicator who can coach leaders and reinforce accountability
- Focused on building sustainable systems that strengthen culture and reduce organizational risk
- Energized by growth and organizational evolution
Impact of This Role
This role will directly shape the employee experience and operational foundation of our organization. The Director of Human Resources will play a critical role in ensuring that as we grow, our systems, leadership practices, and culture scale with intention and discipline.
