Job description

John Evans Recruiting is conducting a search for an HR Director for a high-growth, physician-led healthcare management services organization (MSO) backed by private equity. This MSO brings together medical aesthetics and med spa practices across multiple states.

With approximately 250 employees across 11 locations, the organization is seeking an HR leader to build and scale the HR function while supporting continued growth and acquisition integration.

Our client is seeking direct healthcare or physician practice experience, coupled with significant multi-site integration experience. They anticipate integrating 4–7 new practices within a 3–4 month period, while simultaneously rolling out standardized HR policies, benefits, compensation structures, and performance management processes across the platform.

The ability to build relationships and establish credibility with physicians and former practice owners, navigate complex provider dynamics, and successfully drive standardization across multiple newly acquired groups simultaneously will be critical. This requires someone who can balance relationship management with execution and accountability, often in environments where former owners are adjusting to a new operating structure.

This is a hands-on leadership role spanning HR strategy, employee relations, compliance, benefits, performance management, and acquisition onboarding. The HR Director will partner closely with executive leadership, physicians, Finance, Legal, and Operations.

• Create scalable policies, processes, and HR infrastructure as the organization grows.

Acquisition Integration

• Lead the people side of acquisitions, from due diligence through onboarding.
• Integrate newly acquired practices into company policies, benefits, payroll, and culture.
• Help new employees and practice leaders transition smoothly into the organization.

Qualifications:

• 10+ years of progressive HR experience, including HR leadership
• Proven ability to build or scale an HR function in a growing organization
• Experience in healthcare, medical aesthetics, med spa, or other multi-site wellness services organizations
• Experience integrating acquisitions or onboarding new locations
• Experience in a private equity-backed or high-growth company preferred
• Strong generalist expertise across employee relations, compliance, benefits, and performance management
• Working knowledge of multi-state employment law and compliance
• Executive presence and the ability to influence senior leaders and physicians
• Independence and assertiveness to handle complex employee matters with confidence
• A hands-on approach and comfort working in a fast-paced, evolving environment
