Job description

Vice President, Human Resources (Strategic HR Leader)

A high-growth, global professional services organization is seeking a Vice President of Human Resources to join its leadership team.

This organization partners with a diverse group of businesses across multiple sectors, delivering centralized expertise across HR, finance, legal, and operations. The environment is fast-paced, collaborative, and built for high performers who want visibility, impact, and continuous growth.

Why This Role Stands Out

This is a highly visible, hybrid leadership role that blends:

  • Strategic HR advisory to multiple operating businesses
  • Internal HR leadership and influence at the enterprise level

You’ll operate as both a trusted advisor to senior leaders and a hands-on builder, helping shape people strategy while driving execution across a complex, multi-entity environment.

What You’ll Do

Strategic HR Partnership (External-Facing)

  • Partner directly with senior HR and business leaders across a portfolio of operating companies
  • Deliver tailored HR solutions across talent acquisition, total rewards, talent management, and organizational design
  • Act as a strategic advisor on workforce planning, org structure, and leadership effectiveness
  • Identify gaps in talent strategy and build scalable solutions to address them
  • Build strong relationships with executive stakeholders, including CHRO-level partners

Enterprise HR Leadership (Internal-Facing)

  • Serve as a key advisor to executive leadership and functional teams
  • Help shape and execute the broader HR strategy across the organization
  • Drive alignment between internal HR initiatives and the needs of partner organizations
  • Lead or contribute to high-impact initiatives (e.g., M&A integration, org redesign, change management)
  • Champion culture, engagement, and leadership development efforts

Organizational Effectiveness & Talent Strategy

  • Coach leaders on performance management, employee relations, and team development
  • Use data and insights to proactively drive HR programs and decisions
  • Support workforce planning, succession planning, and organizational design
  • Ensure compliance and partner with legal on risk mitigation when needed
  • Drive initiatives that enhance engagement, retention, and performance

What You Bring

  • 12+ years of progressive HR experience (HRBP or generalist background)
  • Experience operating at a strategic level with senior leadership
  • Proven ability to balance strategy + execution in complex environments
  • Strong background across core HR functions (talent, comp, ER, L&D, etc.)
  • Experience leading teams and influencing cross-functional stakeholders
  • Strong change management and organizational design experience
  • Excellent communication skills with executive presence

Nice to Have:

  • Experience in consulting, advisory, or multi-entity environments
  • Exposure to M&A, integration, or transformation work
  • Advanced degree in HR or related field

Work Environment & Benefits

  • Hybrid schedule (3 days in office)
  • Strong work-life balance initiatives (including flexible work options)
  • Competitive compensation + bonus + long-term incentives
  • Robust health, wellness, and development offerings
