Human Resources Director – Los Angeles (Hybrid)

The role that turns HR into a strategic power center.

Must have law firm experience

Not every HR leadership role has a seat at the table. This one does.

Our client, a highly respected, multi-office law firm, is seeking a Human Resources Director to lead firmwide HR operations and partner directly with executive leadership. This is a high-impact position for someone who knows how to run a tight HR function—and elevate it.

Why This HR Director Role Stands Out

Oversight of critical HR functions: compensation, benefits, employee relations, performance management, and compliance
Ownership of firmwide evaluation and compensation processes
Strategic involvement in HR technology, analytics, and AI-driven improvements
Hybrid schedule (2+ days onsite in Los Angeles)

What You’ll Drive

Seamless HR operations. Smart, defensible employee relations decisions. Flawless execution of payroll, benefits, and compliance. Data-backed insights that leadership actually uses.

What It Takes to be an HR Director at This Firm

7+ years of progressive HR leadership experience
Proven ability to manage teams and complex HR programs end-to-end
Strong command of employee relations, compliance, and performance systems
Experience with ADP HRIS and payroll; exposure to legal or professional services environments

The Bottom Line

This is not an administrative HR role. It’s a leadership position with visibility, authority, and the ability to shape how a sophisticated law firm attracts, manages, and retains its talent.

If HR is both your discipline and your business strategy—this is where they meet.
