About the role

We are a fast-growing, PE-backed consulting firm in an exciting phase of scale and we are looking for a Director of People Operations who thrives in a high-velocity environment. This is not a maintenance role. You will be building and upgrading systems and processes. You will own the full HR operations infrastructure – benefits, payroll, leaves of absence,
and total rewards – and serve as a key partner to the CPO and PE sponsor as we grow headcount, integrate acquisitions, and execute against a value creation plan.

Audit, redesign, and scale People Operations processes to support rapid headcount growth across multiple geographies and service lines
Own the HRIS roadmap - evaluate, implement, and optimize platforms to support a growing, distributed workforce
Develop HR reporting and dashboards that give leadership real-time visibility into headcount, compensation, and workforce trends
Lead, coach, and develop the People Operations team, fostering a culture of accountability, continuous improvement, and employee-centric service delivery
Own and maintain the employee handbook, HR policies, and standard operating procedures
Design and operationalize a structured onboarding program with manager check-in cadences that accelerate time-to-productivity
Own a structured offboarding process that protects IP and client relationships, with exit interview synthesis delivered as quarterly attrition trend reporting to the CPO
Manage payroll vendors and internal controls, including audits and reconciliations
You will be building and upgrading systems and processes.

8+ years of progressive HR experience, with at least 3-5 years in a leadership role overseeing HR operations functions
Strong knowledge of federal and multi-state employment law, including ERISA, FMLA, ADA, ACA, FLSA, and applicable state regulations
Exceptional analytical skills with the ability to translate data into actionable insights

Experience in a PE-backed, high-growth, or M&A-active environment strongly preferred
professional services or consulting industry background a plus
