Head of Human Resources

Role Description

Lead the internal HR function for a fast-growing, PE-backed professional services platform that has scaled quickly and is ready for a more structured people operation. This is a high-impact step-up opportunity for a strong HRBP, Senior HR Manager, or HR Director type who wants to own the function from strategy through execution without being buried in a large-company bureaucracy.

The company has grown meaningfully and needs a practical HR leader who can bring structure to:

• Performance management
• Multi-state compliance
• Employee relations
• Benefits
• HR systems
• Onboarding
• Offboarding
• The operating rhythm of a growing people business

This is not a client-facing consulting role and it is not a pure policy seat. The right person will be hands-on, professional, discreet, and energized by building a better internal HR function inside a company that is still moving fast.

Qualifications

• Strong HR generalist, HRBP, Senior HR Manager, HR Director, or comparable internal HR leadership experience.
• Hands-on experience supporting a multi-state U.S. workforce.
• Practical command of employee relations, performance management, HR compliance, onboarding, offboarding, employee handbooks, and manager guidance.
• Experience operating as both a strategic partner and a hands-on executor.
• Comfort bringing structure into an HR function that is still being built.
• Professional presence, discretion, and confidence handling sensitive employee and manager conversations.
• Experience working with benefits, open enrollment, brokers, workers' compensation, HRIS tools, payroll handoffs, or related employee operations.
• Strong judgment, organization, follow-through, and willingness to figure out new areas without needing everything pre-built.

Requirements

• Experience in a high-growth, PE-backed, acquisitive, professional services, technology-enabled services, consulting, or other white-collar people-heavy business.
• Experience helping select, implement, or improve an HRIS, payroll, or benefits platform.
• Experience supporting HR activity connected to acquisitions, integrations, or newly scaled teams.
• Experience overseeing junior HR support or informal HR resources.
• Experience partnering with finance or C-suite leaders on HR priorities, benefits, and operating cadence.
• Talent-operations or recruiting-process oversight is helpful, but this is primarily an internal HR leadership role rather than a pure talent acquisition role.

Location

This is a remote U.S. role, with a strong preference for candidates who can work comfortably on Eastern or Central business hours. Candidates in the Midwest, East Coast, or central/eastern half of the country are especially aligned. Strong West Coast candidates may be considered if they are willing and able to support the required schedule.

Compensation

The expected compensation range is $125,000 to $160,000 base salary. This is posted as base salary with no guaranteed bonus.

Interview Process

Qualified candidates will complete a video interview with Urrly. Strong candidates may then be introduced to the client team for additional conversations with senior leadership, likely including the current operating leader, the CFO, and the CEO.
