About Larson

Larson Financial Holdings (LFH) is a diversified financial services firm built to help successful families achieve clarity and confidence across their financial lives. Our mission is to create lasting value—both for the families we serve and the professionals who serve them—by integrating strategy, technology, and culture into one cohesive ecosystem.

We are a purpose-driven organization that believes that scalable growth comes from disciplined execution, data-driven decision making, and a culture grounded in shared values. With multiple business units across wealth management, tax, real estate, and insurance, we are intentional about building a unified enterprise that thrives on alignment, accountability, and innovation.

The Opportunity

As we enter our next stage of growth, we are seeking a

Chief People Officer (CPO)

to join the Executive Leadership Team and shape the future of how we attract, develop, and retain top talent across the Larson platform. The CPO will serve as the architect of our people strategy designing systems that reinforce our mission, strengthen culture, and position LFH to scale with excellence.

This is not a traditional HR role. The right leader will combine strategic insight with operational depth, helping us align performance, culture, and leadership around our long‑term vision of becoming a billion‑dollar enterprise that’s both people‑centered and performance‑driven.

Key Responsibilities

Strategic Leadership :

Partner with the CEO and ELT to design and execute a people strategy that enables growth while protecting the cultural foundation of LFH.

Organizational Development :

Lead leadership development, succession planning, and organizational design across a complex, multi‑entity structure.

Culture & Engagement :

Build and sustain a high‑trust, high‑accountability culture that reflects our core values and aligns with EOS (Entrepreneurial Operating System) principles.

Talent & Performance :

Develop frameworks for recruitment, goal setting, and performance management that identify and retain “right people in the right seats.”

Compensation & Total Rewards :

Oversee market‑based and performance‑linked compensation structures, ensuring fairness and financial alignment across entities.

Compliance & Governance :

Maintain best‑in‑class HR policies and compliance across federal, state, and entity‑specific regulations.

Data & Technology :

Modernize HR operations and analytics to deliver insights that drive business decisions.

Executive Partnership :

Serve as a trusted advisor to the CEO and Board on all people and culture matters.

Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in Human Resources, Business Administration, or related field; Master’s degree preferred.

10+ years of progressive HR leadership, including 5+ years in a senior or enterprise‑level role.

Proven record leading HR strategy in a growing, performance‑oriented organization.

Expertise in organizational design, change management, and leadership development.

Demonstrated ability to lead through influence and build alignment across diverse business units.

Familiarity with EOS or similar operating systems strongly preferred.

Experience with HR technology implementation, analytics, and automation.

Strong business acumen, judgment, and executive presence.

Why This Role

This position offers a unique opportunity to build an enduring people platform inside a fast‑growing financial enterprise. You’ll work alongside a high‑performing executive team, shaping strategy at the intersection of business growth and human potential.

We’re not looking for volume. We’re looking for alignment—a leader who brings both strategic capability and the humility to invest deeply in culture and people.
