The Hiring Advisors is partnering with a growing company in the professional services world that needs a true HR leader — not just someone to “run HR,” but someone to build, influence, and scale it. This is part strategist, part operator, part therapist, part compliance wizard.
You’ll sit at the leadership table and help answer questions like:
- “How do we scale from 100 → 300 people without chaos?”
- “How do we retain top talent in a competitive market?”
- “And… are we doing payroll correctly across multiple states?” 😅
Responsibilities:
- Be the trusted advisor to exec leadership on all things people, culture, and org strategy
- Build and evolve talent strategy, workforce planning, and retention initiatives
- Oversee compensation, benefits, and total rewards (yes, people will care a lot about this)
- Run multi-state payroll without losing your sanity
- Ensure compliance with employment laws (aka: keep everyone out of trouble)
- Drive performance management, employee relations, and career development
- Upgrade and optimize HR systems, processes, and infrastructure
- Lead and mentor junior HR team members
Requirements:
- 8–10+ years in HR, with real leadership and scaling experience
- Background in real estate, mortgage, banking, lending, or similar (you get the pace + complexity)
- Deep knowledge of multi-state compliance (you’ve seen things…)
- Experience building or improving People Ops in a growing company
- Strong mix of strategic thinking + roll-up-your-sleeves execution
- Ability to influence executives without needing a 47-slide deck
Nice-to-Haves:
- PHR / SPHR (or equivalent)
- Experience in high-growth or evolving environments
- You’ve cleaned up (or built) HR infrastructure before
- You can explain complex policies like a normal human
Important Deets:
- $175K – $225K base + bonus
- Full-time, exempt
- LA-based (in-office)
If you’ve been waiting for a role where you can actually shape a company — not just support it — this is it. Apply now… or send it to the HR leader you know who’s tired of being called “just HR.”
