About the Role

The Company is seeking a Chief People Officer (CPO) to join their mission-driven organization. The CPO will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of the company by leading with empathy, driving transformation, and building a people-first culture. This executive-level position requires a strategic partner to the CEO and Board, with a focus on aligning people strategy with organizational goals. The successful candidate will be responsible for setting and executing a comprehensive strategy for learning and development, succession planning, and organizational development. They will also lead core HR functions, including benefits, compensation, compliance, and talent management, with a strong emphasis on fostering a culture of ownership and trust. Candidates for the CPO role at the company should be seasoned HR leaders with a Bachelor's degree and at least 20 years of progressive HR leadership experience. A strong foundation in core HR functions and a proven track record in professional services firms are essential. Experience in employee-owned environments is highly valued, and a background in PE-backed settings may be advantageous. The ideal candidate will be a strategic thinker, a compassionate leader, and have exceptional communication and trust-building skills. They should be highly structured, analytical, and have a client-service mindset, with a passion for continuous improvement. The role also requires the ability to lead organizational change, structure teams, and drive strategic execution, as well as a willingness to travel as needed.
