Human Resources Director

$145k - $165k

The Hiring Advisors LLC

We're Hiring: Director of HR (Scale a Tech Leader from 75 to 300+ People)

Location: Torrance, CA OR Plano, TX (On-Site Base)

Pay: $145,000 - $165,000 Base + Annual Performance Bonus + Equity Incentive Program + 401(k) Match

Experience: 7+ Years HR Leadership | PE Backing | Multi-State Compliance (CA & TX)

Let's be real: most HR job descriptions sound like they were generated by a 1990s compliance bot.

If you're an HR leader who actually loves the high-growth hustle, knows how to handle private equity goals without losing your mind, and can recruit top technical talent at warp speed-we need to talk.

I am partnering with a fast-growing, private equity-backed managed IT & cybersecurity provider to find a hands-on Director of HR .

We are currently 75 employees strong and scaling to 300+ over the next 5 years through organic hiring and M&A acquisitions. You won't just be "managing policies"-you'll be building the HR rocket ship that takes us there.

Who You Are (The Vibe Check)
  • The PE Growth Veteran: You've scaled a company from under 100 to 300+ people and know how to report metrics to a board without sweating.
  • The M&A Integrator: You know how to fold acquired teams into the family without creating a civil war.
  • The Multi-State Whiz: You actually understand California AND Texas employment laws (which is basically a superpower).
  • The Core Values Believer: You live by being a Rockstar (master of your craft), Guardian (defending the team), Yogi (always learning), and PIT Crew (fast + right = same job).
What You'll Own
  • Full HR Department: Lead the HR team (Generalists, Admins, Trainers) across Torrance and Plano offices.
  • Talent Acquisition & Scaling: Own recruiting for engineers, tech gurus, and sales rockstars while keeping time-to-fill low.
  • M&A Integrations: Lead people due diligence, benefits mapping, and onboarding for acquired companies.
  • Performance & Culture: Run quarterly KPI review cycles, manage Trainual onboarding, and keep people engaged.
Why You'll Love It
  • Solid Pay: $145k-$165k base + annual KPI bonus + company incentive/equity program.
  • Great Benefits: Up to 80% employer-paid healthcare premiums, 401(k) match, 10 paid holidays, PTO, and yes... optional Pet Insurance!
  • Dual Location Choice: Work out of high-tech hubs in either Torrance, CA or Plano, TX .
