Vice President, People & Culture

VP of People & Talent

Los Angeles, CA (yes this one starts in-office

we like humans interacting with humans)
Let's address the elephant in the room:
Every company says they "care about people." Few actually build the infrastructure to prove it.
That's where you come in.
The Role (a.k.a. Chief Everything-People-Related)
We're partnering with a growing company in the professional services world that needs a true HR leader

not just someone to "run HR," but someone to build, influence, and scale it. This is part strategist, part operator, part therapist, part compliance wizard.
You'll sit at the leadership table and help answer questions like:
"How do we scale from 100 ? 300 people without chaos?"
"How do we retain top talent in a competitive market?"
"And are we doing payroll correctly across multiple states?"
What You'll Own
Be the trusted advisor to exec leadership on all things people, culture, and org strategy
Build and evolve talent strategy, workforce planning, and retention initiatives
Oversee compensation, benefits, and total rewards (yes, people will care a lot about this)
Run multi-state payroll without losing your sanity
Ensure compliance with employment laws (aka: keep everyone out of trouble)
Drive performance management, employee relations, and career development
Upgrade and optimize HR systems, processes, and infrastructure
Lead and mentor junior HR team members
What Makes You a Fit
810+ years in HR, with real leadership and scaling experience
Background in real estate, mortgage, banking, lending, or similar (you get the pace + complexity)
Deep knowledge of multi-state compliance (you've seen things)
Experience building or improving People Ops in a growing company
Strong mix of strategic thinking + roll-up-your-sleeves execution
Ability to influence executives without needing a 47-slide deck
Bonus Points
PHR / SPHR (or equivalent)
Experience in high-growth or evolving environments
You've cleaned up (or built) HR infrastructure before
You can explain complex policies like a normal human
The Details
$175K

$225K base + bonus
Full-time, exempt
LA-based (in-office)
Who Thrives Here
You're probably someone who:
Likes building more than maintaining
Can go from boardroom strategy ? fixing a payroll issue on the same day
Understands that culture isn't perks

it's systems, leadership, and accountability
Doesn't panic when things get messy (because they will)
If you've been waiting for a role where you can actually shape a company

not just support it

this is it. Apply now or send it to the HR leader you know who's tired of being called "just HR."
