Job Description

Chief People Officer

Location: Confidential | Compensation: $250,000 – $300,000 base + bonus

About the Company

Our client is a high-growth, operationally complex, multi-entity organization at a meaningful inflection point where scale is real, complexity is increasing, and leadership is committed to building the systems, talent, and structure required for the next phase of growth. This is a confidential search.

About the Role

The Chief People Officer is a senior executive role with a clear mandate: make the business better through people, structure, and execution. This is not a maintenance role or a seat focused on steady-state HR operations. It is for the HR executive who thrives in ambiguity, connects dots others miss, and builds systems that drive performance, accountability, and results at scale.

Sitting at the executive table and advising leaders across Finance, Legal, Technology, and enterprise functions, this leader will translate business strategy into human capital action with measurable outcomes.

Talent Strategy & Workforce Planning

Partner with Talent Acquisition to raise the bar, not just fill roles

Build succession pipelines that actually hold under pressure

Culture, Performance & Accountability

Elevate performance standards across the organization

Coach leaders to own outcomes, not avoid them

Shape culture through clarity, expectations, and consequences

Data-Driven HR Leadership

Use workforce data, financial insight, and trend analysis to drive decisions

Qualifications

15+ years of progressive HR experience, including meaningful exposure to complex, matrixed organizations

5+ years leading and developing HR teams

Demonstrated track record of driving transformation

Comfort operating with ambiguity and making calls with imperfect information

Strong commercial and financial acumen; understands how HR directly impacts revenue, margin, and operational performance

Credibility and presence to engage and hold ground with executive leadership

Bachelors degree required; advanced degree preferred

Equal Opportunity

Our client is committed to building strong, diverse teams and an environment where high performers can do their best work.
