About the Company

We are a high-growth corporate services firm providing workforce, HR, and operational consulting to over 50 cannabis retail locations and several manufacturing and transportation and delivery companies across multiple states. Our group manages complex organizational scale on behalf of our partners, offering best-in-class staffing solutions, compliance oversight, and performance systems that enable operational excellence at every level.

About the Role

The Vice President of Human Resources (VPHR) will lead the full spectrum of people strategy for the organization on behalf of our clients — encompassing Talent Acquisition, Human Resources, Workforce Planning, People Analytics, and Learning & Development.

This role is designed for a strategic builder and data-driven operator who thrives in an extremely fast-paced, multi-entity environment. You will oversee the infrastructure that powers workforce scalability, cultural alignment, and leadership development across dozens of client organizations.

You will work directly with the C-suite to ensure that people operations are tightly integrated with business performance, growth forecasting, and compliance frameworks.

Key Responsibilities

1. Talent Acquisition & Workforce Planning

  • Lead all recruiting, workforce forecasting, and staffing pipelines across corporate, retail, and field operations.
  • Implement advanced analytics and systems integrations within Greenhouse ATS and Wurk HRIS platforms to enable real-time visibility into hiring metrics and capacity planning.
  • Collaborate with Finance and Operations to forecast hiring needs based on store openings, client expansion, and seasonal trends.
  • Build scalable recruiting playbooks, interview frameworks, and training for the internal TA team to drive quality and speed of hire.

2. Human Resources & Compliance

  • Oversee all HR operations — including payroll, benefits, employee relations, and compliance — across multiple states and business units.
  • Create standardized HR policies, procedures, and reporting to support organizational consistency and risk management.
  • Lead employee engagement, performance calibration, and total rewards strategy to ensure alignment with company goals and financial health.
  • Drive operational excellence through automation, accuracy, and policy adherence.
  • 3. People Analytics & Systems

  • Build a data-driven People Operations infrastructure that connects HRIS, ATS, and finance data into a unified reporting system.
  • Design and maintain dashboards tracking metrics such as headcount growth, turnover trends, time-to-fill, cost per hire, and engagement indicators.
  • Use predictive analytics to identify talent risks and inform decision-making across leadership teams.
  • Introduce KPIs that measure workforce productivity, leadership effectiveness, and organizational health.
  • 4. Learning, Development & Organizational Growth

  • Develop a scalable, tiered learning system that supports employee onboarding, compliance training, leadership development, and cross-department skill growth.
  • Partner with operational leaders to embed L&D initiatives into each function's strategic roadmap.
  • Design programs that identify and develop high-potential talent for future leadership roles.
  • Oversee implementation of company-wide training platforms and content libraries.
  • 5. Leadership, Culture & Strategy

  • Serve as a trusted advisor to the C-suite on organizational structure, succession planning, and workforce strategy.
  • Champion a culture of accountability, growth, and excellence across all levels of the company.
  • Facilitate communication and collaboration across divisions, ensuring transparency and alignment between field teams and headquarters.
  • Build a People Operations team known for innovation, responsiveness, and reliability.
  • Ideal Candidate Profile

    You are a sophisticated, systems-minded people leader who has scaled organizations through operational clarity and human capital excellence. You bring a strong command of analytics, structure, and executive influence.

    Qualifications :

  • 10–15+ years of progressive HR and Talent leadership, with at least 5 years in a senior or executive capacity.
  • Proven success leading TA, HR, and L&D under one cohesive strategy.
  • Experience with multi-state or multi-entity operations (retail, consumer, hospitality or manufacturing industries preferred).
  • Deep familiarity with ATS / HRIS platforms (Greenhouse, Wurk, Sage or comparable systems).
  • Strong business acumen — able to tie people strategy directly to growth, profitability, and compliance outcomes.
  • Exceptional communication and leadership presence.
  • Performance Outcomes

  • Accelerated hiring velocity with measurable improvement in quality of hire.
  • Enhanced retention and engagement across client organizations.
  • Real-time people analytics dashboard deployed within the first three months.
  • Fully operational training and development framework within the first six months.
  • Increased organizational efficiency and leadership readiness through scalable people systems.
  • Why Join Us

    This is a defining executive opportunity to shape the people strategy for a national portfolio of emerging and mature companies. As Vice President of Human Resources, you will design the systems, culture, and leadership architecture that will define the next decade of growth — working alongside a high-performing executive team that values innovation, data, and operational excellence.
