Job description

Position Title: Director of People & Culture
Location: On-site, Commerce, GA
Salary Range: $100,000 - $140,000 per year
Reporting To:Chief Executive Officer (CEO)

Innovative Outsourcing is partnering to recruit a Director of People & Culture for a well established technology distribution firm anchored in Christian values and operating philosophies.

Our client operates a high-urgency, energetic setting where execution and impact are paramount. Resilient, forward-thinking leaders who excel in an agile, hands-on environment will thrive within this dynamic organization.

The Opportunity

Our client is seeking a Director of People & Culture who thinks like an executive and operates like an owner. Partnering directly with the CEO and leadership team, you will lead the full People & Culture function, shaping organization design, workforce planning, talent acquisition, and performance management while leading core operations in a lean, hands-on environment.

Because they operate lean, this is a genuinely hands-on role. You will be responsible for building practical People processes from the ground up, managing day-to-day HR operations, and equipping our leadership team to scale effectively.

Key Responsibilities

• Executive Partnership & Strategy: Partner directly with the CEO and leadership team to anticipate organizational needs, address gaps, and implement workforce strategies.
• Hands-On People Operations: Personally own core operations including payroll coordination, benefits administration, HRIS (Paycor), compliance, employee records, and policies.
• Talent Acquisition & Workforce Planning: Lead hiring strategy, candidate assessment, onboarding, development, and critical-role succession planning.
• Performance & Leadership Development: Build a lightweight performance management framework, coach managers, and foster accountability and employee growth.
• Employee Relations & Risk Management: Manage employee relations, compliance, investigations, separations, and sensitive personnel matters.
• Global Workforce Coordination: Oversee the lifecycle of both our US-based employees and our international contractor operations (e.g., in the Philippines), ensuring seamless integration and operational alignment.

What We Are Looking For

• Progressive HR Leadership: Broad HR leadership experience across the full employee lifecycle within a small or mid-sized business.
• Entrepreneurial Pace & Scrappiness: High urgency, decision-making agility, and a gritty problem-solving mindset capable of keeping pace with a fast-moving CEO.
• Hands-On & Strategic Balance: Equally comfortable advising the CEO on leadership strategy as you are diving into compliance, employee relations, or software tools.
• HR Technology & Innovation: Hands-on experience with HCM systems (Paycor or similar) and leveraging data, automation, and AI to streamline operations.
• Values Alignment: Deep resonance with our Business as a Ministry (BaaM) framework and Christian values, bringing an earnest commitment to caring for people and building a positive culture.
• Constructive Voice: Confidence to push back constructively, offer clear solutions, and act as a trusted advisor to executive leadership.

Benefits & Perks

• Competitive Compensation: $100,000 - $140,000 annual base salary.
• Healthcare & Protection: Comprehensive medical plan with company contribution, plus company-sponsored Long-Term Disability and Life Insurance.
• Retirement Plan: 401(k) retirement plan with company matching contributions.
• Paid Time Off: Generous paid holidays and PTO package.
• Supportive Environment: A culture that values work-life integration and offers flexibility for high-performing, dedicated leaders.
