Job description

Description

POSITION SUMMARY

The VP of Human Resources and Talent sets the vision for our HR and Talent functions — and builds what's underneath it. You'll own people strategy end-to-end: org structure, systems, and the processes that keep everything running as we scale across states and entities.

Reporting to the CEO and partnering closely with the CFO, you'll hold a real seat at the executive table while staying hands-on in the work: organizational design, HR systems and infrastructure that fuels growth across multiple states and entities for a fast-growing, missing-driving organization.

This is an architecture role, not an engagement role. Success here is measured in systems built and structures designed. An ideal candidate will rather fix the system that produces the problem than solve the problem ten times, or create a workaround for it. If you're looking for a role where people strategy is a line item, this isn't it. If want to build the operating structure of a company that's going somewhere, let's talk.

This position is 80%+ based on site in our beautiful Central Oregon Corporate Headquarters. A relocation stipend is included, and full relocation to Oregon is required.

WHO WE ARE

• A family-owned organization with 20 years experience of raising the standards for in-home care — and we're still pushing higher.
• We build teams of driven, mission-obsessed experts whose energy and focus turn every initiative into a success
• Our process is our promise: proven systems and disciplined execution deliver exceptional care to every Community, Employee, and Client.
• A culture built to energize — powering meaningful careers for world changers who never settle.
• See How We're Raising the Bar

• Build and lead a high-performing HR leadership team, establishing scalable structure and clear accountability across a multi-state, multi-entity organization
• Set the enterprise-wide HR operating model — governing infrastructure, SOPs, and processes that scale with rapid growth and acquisitions
• Provide executive oversight of complex employee relations, investigations, and performance management, ensuring sound judgment and full legal compliance at scale
• Own total rewards strategy — payroll integrity, benefits design, compensation equity, and HR systems (HRIS, ATS, benefits platforms) — for efficiency and long-term scalability
• Drive the organization's talent and culture strategy across the full employee lifecycle, including succession planning and leadership development
• Leverage workforce data and analytics to deliver executive-level insights, informing board and leadership decisions
• Lead due diligence and HR integration efforts for new markets, acquisitions, partnerships, or entity expansion
• Standardize HR practices across all locations and entities, embedding a culture of accountability, performance, and continuous improvement at an enterprise level

ROLE QUALIFICATIONS

• Senior HR executive with a proven track record leading HR functions in multi-state, fast-paced, or rapidly scaling/multi-entity organizations
• Deep expertise across employee relations, compliance, payroll, HRIS, benefits administration, and total rewards
• Strategic executive who partners effectively with CEOs, ownership, and boards while remaining hands-on enough to execute when needed
• Confident, decisive leader who builds organizational accountability through visibility, governance, and data-driven KPIs
• Skilled at influencing and building trust at every level of the organization, from frontline staff to the executive suite
• Expert knowledge of federal, state, and local employment law across multiple jurisdictions
