• Recommend competitive compensation structures and benefits packages.
• Ensure compliance with federal, New Jersey, and New York employment laws, as well as local regulations.
• Develop and maintain HR policies, procedures, and performance frameworks.
• Design scalable processes to enhance efficiency and client satisfaction.

Qualifications

• 10+ years of HR leadership or consulting experience (fractional/multi-client strongly preferred).
