About Our Client

Our client is a fast-growing, multi-vertical industrial and commercial real estate company currently at 40 to 45 employees and scaling to 80 to 100 within two years. With a clear and active growth trajectory, they're building their people function from the ground up.

About the Role

We're looking for a Senior HR Director to build the people function from scratch, owning talent acquisition, executive recruiting, organizational design, performance management, management development, employee relations, and a measurable accountability culture.

This is not a traditional HR role, and the company doesn't need a compliance administrator. It needs a strategic operator who thinks in terms of human capital ROI, builds systems that surface and retain high performers, manages out underperformers decisively and compliantly, and can personally headhunt C-suite and senior operational leaders. You'll be the sole dedicated HR resource, reporting directly to senior leadership.

Responsibilities

• Own recruitment at all levels, from entry-level hires through executive search, building a repeatable, fast hiring process that supports growth to 80 to 100 employees
• Personally lead executive searches, including sourcing, assessment, and closing senior candidates such as COOs, CMOs, and VPs
• Plan resources and headcount with business unit leaders to anticipate hiring needs before they become urgent
• Design and manage onboarding and offboarding so new hires reach full productivity quickly and exits are consistent, compliant, and respectful
• Design performance evaluations and a quarterly check-in cadence, and implement KPIs with business unit leadership to create a measurable accountability culture
• Identify fit issues early in each employee's tenure and address them fairly, with documentation, including transitions where needed
• Build a culture of opportunity with career maps and development paths, and develop managers' leadership capability so accountability cascades through the organization
• Lead organizational design as the company scales and structures evolve
• Handle employee relations and day-to-day people issues promptly, with fairness and discretion
• Write, maintain, and consistently administer policies, procedures, and the employee handbook, keeping them current with US employment regulations
• Manage US employment law compliance across distributed team structures, including EOR and contractor frameworks
• Lead change initiatives, communicate them clearly, and confirm buy-in and consistent enforcement at all levels of management

What We're Looking For

• Senior people, talent, or HR leadership experience in a growing entrepreneurial environment, with verifiable experience scaling a company from roughly 40 to 50 employees to 100 or more
• Sophisticated executive search capability, including personally headhunting and closing senior leadership hires rather than relying on applicant pipelines
• Significant exposure to US employment practices and compliance, including at-will employment, EOR and contractor frameworks, and distributed teams
• Strong commercial judgment, able to speak in terms of headcount ROI, labor efficiency, and performance metrics
• Exceptional spoken and written English with the executive presence and directness to influence senior leaders and deliver difficult feedback
• Self-managing, with a genuine desire to build rather than maintain and a track record of creating people processes from scratch
• Full commitment to working US Central Standard Time business hours
• MBA or equivalent advanced degree preferred; strong practical experience will be weighted heavily

Nice to Have

• Experience supporting a multi-vertical company spanning operations-intensive verticals such as warehousing, logistics, construction, or real estate alongside professional services or capital management
• Background working with US-based companies or US workforces from an offshore or remote capacity
• Familiarity with EOR platforms such as Deel or Remote for cross-border employment compliance
• Experience in Latin America or South Africa with strong exposure to US company operating culture

Work Schedule

• 100% remote setup so you can work wherever you're most productive
• This position operates on a full-time basis, with dedicated hours to ensure alignment with the team and delivery of quality work
• Full-time commitment to US Central Standard Time business hours

Compensation & Time Off

• Compensation paid in USD
• Paid bi-monthly on the 15th and 30th
• Paid Time Off according to company policy
• Holidays observed according to company guidelines
